me and my puppy
He is not very good at taking pictures. I am ghostlier than usual.
I wear green and hug dogs a lot, it would appear.
That awkward moment when Stephenie Meyer and Sarah...

use the word “ersatz” more often
eat more and bigger pretzels*
dance with confidence incommensurate with my actual ability
hug more dogs

2009 was mostly terrible, but it was also fascinating — the kind of year you designate “memoir fodder”. My life was indisputably more interesting then. I feel a little boring now.

Why don't I listen to Radiohead more often?
I think this every single time I listen to a Radiohead album.

awkward small talk ahoy
While flashing a white light in my eye and hovering about two inches in front of my face, my eye doctor (who I last saw, like … five years ago) started asking if I was dating anyone, for how long, etc.
I thought it was a set up to one of his bad jokes, so I almost said, “Why do you ask?”, which would have created, like, a vortex of awkwardness. You don’t just go around...

I also love the title of the book, incidentally
I just read This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper. I can’t say this without sounding like I have a vastly overinflated estimation of my writing skill, but his style/humor is similar to what I’ve written in my fiction pieces. Just, you know, immeasurably better. He does fucked up people well and has a really nice absurdist sensibility about him.
Got it today, finished it today....
so Christian
me: 80% of those family Christmas newsletters are just bragging. “In 2010, we enjoyed our vacations to Peurta Vallarta and Barcelona. Bobby busied himself with competing in the all-state diving meet, and Clara maintained her summa cum laude grade average and attained native-level fluency in Mandarin Chinese.” And you’re just like, stop sending these.

Never pick sides,
never choose between two,

“Charles De Gaulle, saviour of France’s honour in 1940 and founder of the Fifth Republic in 1958, was a man of contradictions. A conservative who brought the communists into his government and an imperialist who completed France’s decolonisation.”
