My belated Dexter season six finale rant.
I’m really unhappy with how this season ended. REALLY FUCKING UNHAPPY. Yeah, it’s probably good for the plot progression that Deb finally caught him in the act. I’m fine with that. It was the obvious cliffhanger to use at this point in the series. But what the fuck is up with this incest shit? Yes, I know the actors are married in real life and I know their characters...

I’m a dork.
If you answered that they are both front runners in the bid for the 2012 presidential nomination, then you are correct!

Hmm, dilemma.
How do you go about apologizing to people when your email account gets hacked? It’s not exactly my fault but it’s still pretty hawkward. I have this Hotmail account that I haven’t used in eons, and apparently it’s been sending out loads of spam to the contacts I had in high school, including teachers. Ugh. But since I don’t use that email anymore, I didn’t know...

I’m told the reason it remains illegal to raise chickens in Iowa City, where I live, is because Iowans moved to our relatively cosmopolitan college town to get away from the country people and, by extension, their chickens. Twentysomethings from bigger cities, where it is fashionable to raise your own chicks and harvest fresh eggs and place them decorously on gingham...

This New Year’s, there’s no excuse to drink and drive or ride with anybody who does. AAA is offering a service called Tipsy Tow to ensure that revelers get home safely. From 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. on New Year’s Eve/Day, they will take you AND your car home for FREE. Save this number in your phone: 1-800-222-4357. You don’t have to be a AAA member to call.

Wuthering Heights

“Nelly, I am Heathcliff — he’s always, always in my mind — not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself — but as my own being…”
Wuthering Heights is one of very few novels that I can read over and over, and it makes me lose my breath every time without fail.

I finally got to see the lights in downtown Portland tonight. It was nice; felt like home. Also finished a little reading. And because my parents are far too generous around the holidays and always, I’m now the giddy owner of a new iPad. I’ve started about 39751 games of Words With Friends and downloaded some newspapers. Not sure what else to do, but I’m excited. Any suggestions?...

Well, fuck.
So if my birth control is any indicator, my period is set to coincide exactly with my exit exams. Which is excellent, because there’s nothing like being on the brink of a nervous breakdown to really get those creative juices flowing during long-answer questions about literary form.

A very merry little Christmas
I’m snuggled up in bed with my new body pillow nomming on jelly bellies, listening to music and trying to figure out Words with Friends. Good Christmas.

Why conservative comedy doesn't work →
One of the most important rules of comedy is that it’s always easier to make fun of the guy with power than the guy without. This is especially true in American comedy, since we as a people hold such an affinity and respect for underdogs. For every one joke, sketch, or sitcom about a competent boss with incompetent employees, there are 50 jokes that are the exact opposite. We like seeing...
