Dear Sort-of Manager who is never here anymore,
With that goatee, you look like Mirror-Universe Sort-of Manager who is never here anymore.
It turned you from a dude-broish creepish to an almost-criminal mastermind.
Regards, The girl whose name you can’t remember

The Rules, Those Awful Women
lazybookreviews:
My dear friend’s grandmother passed away last year, and she said some of the MOST AMAZING THINGS to my dear friend, which I would like my beloved followers to learn from.
1. You’re dating someone. “Is he a drain, or a radiator?”
2. SAME SCENARIO. “Does he contribute to the gaiety of nations?”
I know, you’re recovering. You’re recovering from having your world ROCKED. ...
This is the sort of thing I think of with... →
Just one thing happening that makes you feel like you’re not alone in the world.
Twilight, Stephenie Meyer
lazybookreviews:
These are all very very bad books. I will not insult you by saying much more on the topic, other than admitting that I have read all of them, including the novella about the baby vampire who gets taken out by Dakota Fanning, despite having surrendered.
What I really wanted to share with you is that my first (first) time reading “Twilight” corresponded with a time juuuuuust...

Overheard at work
“That’s fantastic. What drug is the mother on?”
Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand
lazybookreviews:
I’mma let Nora Ephron take this one for the team:
Ayn Rand is not easy to write about - and not just because she doesn’t cooperate. One example will suffice. When I was interviewing her editor Ed Kuhn he told me that she was furious because an article in Life magazine had described her as wearing a tricornered hat and a cape.
“She has never worn a tricornered hat and a cape,”...

The OLD debate of who shot first: Han or Greedo?
In certain edits of A New Hope, George “The Tool” Lucas cut it so that it appears that Greedo shot first in the cantina. Han Solo merely reacted. As any true fan can tell you, that is a load of crap. Han shot first and Greedo squeezed the trigger as a post-death...

Matt Lauer: What do you want to do with your clout, Andrew?
Andrew Mason: I want to see if I can get more buildings to have [the word] “laser” in their name … Do I have clout? I feel like clout is something that builds up on your teeth. I can’t even take that question seriously.

bobulate:
In David Eagleman’s Sum, 40 tales about afterlife, he reshuffles and organizes all life’s experiences into a new order, grouping all like-moments together:
You spend two months driving the street in front of your house, seven months having sex. You sleep for thirty years without opening your eyes. For five months straight you flip through magazines while sitting on a...
