Writing. It's like being naked on the stage, isn't it?
It's not. Don't just tell me what you think I want to hear.
What else I know: the cliche is a lost art. I'm here to make you stop and smell the insert joke. This website hereby pledges to uphold proper adoration and exercise of the cliche, along with the innuendo, the exaggeration, the Reagan Passive Voice, the barbaric yaup, and the Frumious Bandersnatch.

And if you've got all that, step on in. You can skip the crap parts.

Not the biggest, but the first, headline on CNN.com tonight is: CONDI RICE FIELDS TOUGH QUESTIONS. Is that all, she fields them? It's certainly accurate, though: the tough questions being asked would be headline fucking news.
A good word: got roped into a political conversation at a party last night - always ill-advised and purely a last-ditch effort on my part - and all three of us wound up walking away perfectly happy. See? Alcohol pacifies a person.

I’m reading old journals. Man, I was a prick when I was a kid.

Dusty Springfield’s Spooky cover from the Lock Stock soundtrack. I remember talking with a girl in college – smile if you’re out there, Ginny – about what would go on a killer bedroom mix. John Cusack’s character did it, kind of, in High Fidelity. I will say, the flick sent me running out for Marvin’s Gaye’s whole Let’s Get It On.
