Body horror: having a body

CHILDHOOD TRAUMA WHAT MAKES YOU PROCRASTINATE
TAKE TEST

Interesting. Anne Trubek Review Books.

Now I have to read this.

Must be really good stuff if we can all see it.

Do you know the book Roxaboxen, about a bunch of kids who build themselves a little village with bits of wood and glass? It has a similar appeal.

I've been thinking of it as somebody at a dinner party eating out of the serving dishes, helping themselves to others' plates, belching, farting, getting on the table and dropping his pants, insulting everyone as he does, and we're all too polite to do more than say, "You know, that's not right."

However, I was very drawn to my daughter's Polly Pocket sets. That self-contained, miniaturized, cleverly jiggered world was extremely appealing/satisfying.

I also video-ed the sunrise this morning, forgetting that I was listening to Boontavista (podcast) wherein Andrew was describing a painting that a man had done using his penis as a brush.
Either a bonus or a sacrilege, it’s up to yourself.

I do not write failed clickbait in need of a punch-up
I write hard-to-follow sentences with nested parentheses & too many subclauses
not the same
doing this to anyone is bad but doing it to me is like capturing that 400 yr old greenland shark & forcing it to work at starbucks
why

anyone who takes pleasure in setting down a dash right in the middle of my sentence, in the way the athletic orc inserted a battering ram into the heart of minas tirith, deserves to be given a turing test, a voight-kampff, an old-style psychoanalysis & a stern lecture

Dead messengers stacked like cordwood in the Oval Office.

The poor and scaffolding are always with us.

I am curious as well.

It would be embarrassing if people knew I believe in astrology, so I tell everybody I bought these for the selfie pencil.

Logically, more in this case can really only be inconvenience.

Trump talking to Putin. Putin looks amused

Trump Warns Putin That He Will Continue Warning Him

Still, it's an entertaining show.

Bottle?

And thank god for that.

That's more a polycule situation.

Indeed.

First thing I thought. Pictured your dance and thought "Damn, he's adorable."

Damn. Didn't expect to do any great goods today, but I'll take it.

Okay, really, I did the dance for her amusement, which caused me to wonder how common it is for partners to do silly dances to amuse each other. It seems on the one hand an obvious thing to do, so probably common, but also you must be two people similarly alike in lack of dignity, so maybe not.

I took this picture in an Asda last year, and forgot about it until now.

Wife walked in just in time to catch me doing my "First Great Nectarine of the Season" dance.

One like, one opinion I'll keep to myself.

That is absolutely assumed from the very start.

Beyond the 60 Minutes payoff & Colbert cancelation, an unprecedented capitulation: as part of merger agreement, new parent company agrees to install an official to "monitor bias" at CBS’s news division. CBS news will essentially be state controlled media.
