I like to watch the television series ALONE and act as if I would last more than 48 hours before the siren call of French fries made me tap out.

It’s the 150th anniversary of the birth of Aleister Crowley, the man who – among *many* other things – once put an acrostic in an “apparently innocuous book of devotional verse” which spelt out ‘The Virgin Mary I desire but arseholes set my prick on fire’ www.weiserantiquarian.com/pages/books/...

People who try to act cute when they're not irritate the fuck out of me. Cuteness comes from within.

Successfully completed a small household project. Hopefully the feelings of being a complete failure will stay away for the rest of the day.

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

Heard an 8 year old kid sing the Bill Nye the Science Guy theme song. I think kids just always know that. A kid in the 1800’s would somehow be able to sing it.

After saying “what” for the third time and still having no clue what they just said, is it okay to just crumple up in the fetal position until they go away?

If you whisper, or mouth, something to me, so that others won’t hear, there is a 100% chance that I also will not hear/understand

"What is it going to take before you drop your hate and say, 'Listen, the guy did the job!' I'm not running anymore, so you no longer have to do this whole charade. I turned the city around, folks—come on! ... Stop coming up with all of these creative ways of saying 'Eric failed.' Eric didn't fail."

I'm eating all the cheese.

Soon, there will be no more cheese.

If you wanted some, you should have eaten it before I ate all of it.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
