After a few drinks, I’m friendly. I mean, I’m friendly anyway, but in no-drink social situations, I tend to be a little quiet, since it takes me awhile to warm up to people I don’t know. Which is fine, since it’s not like drinking is necessary for human interaction (I’m thinking about giving up booze … Continue reading
on literary dealbreakers (sort of)
A couple of weeks ago, I was perusing my Facebook news feed, as I do sometimes, and I came across a link: Holy Shit: They’re Making Atlas Shrugged Into A Movie. The article begins like so: When it comes to dating, I have only one simple rule. If I go over to a girl’s house … Continue reading
the truth is you can’t hide from the truth
Today I decided I would wander over to The Daily Post and see if I could find an idea for a blog post over there, despite the fact that my stupid video is brilliant and You Tube didn’t land on a weird frame at all when they made the freeze-frame thingamawhatsits screen thing (I’m fairly … Continue reading

Also I didn’t have any more questions to answer, and that question thing spoiled me a little … Continue reading

From my grandmother (ahem): So, when are you going to settle down with a nice man and make me a great-grandmother ? Well, grandma, have you forgotten all of your other great-grandchildren?
