In the face of the beautiful-awful-tragic-absurd-mundane-heartbreaking-impossible-wonderful,
all I can think to say is:
and even this...
“I record my life, sifting and trying to separate what is real from what I’ve dreamed. I have decided not to tell you what is fact versus what is unfact primarily because (a) I am giving you a portrait of the essence of me, and (b) because, living where I do, living in the chasm that cuts through thought, it is lonely… come with me, reader. I am toying with you, yes, but for a real reason. I am asking you to enter the confusion with me, to give up the ground with me, because sometimes that frightening floaty place is really the truest of all. Kierkegaard says, 'The greatest lie of all is the feeling of firmness beneath our feet. We are most honest when we are lost.' Enter that lostness with me. Live in the place I am, where the view is murky, where the connecting bridges and orienting maps have been surgically stripped away.”
— Lauren Slater
“I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken, and the one that could always brighten up your day even if she couldn’t brighten her own.”

Lessons learned on Sunday:
- 3 pitchers of beer is, in fact, a lot. Even when split between two parties.
- Especially when spread out over two hours.
- Hockey is awesome.
- Canada gets more gold medals and universal health care. Just like that, our surplus in military power seems a bit less awesome…
My friend has a 3-yr. old whose response upon seeing Justin Bieber was:
“I don’t like her. I don’t want this.”
After which he left the room.
Patton Oswalt on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien
Patton destroying per usual. Really great bit.
I ran into Patton Oswalt on the street a few days ago. And we had a nice little chat. Dude doesn’t know how to be not hilarious.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I actually really liked Community. Twice I laughed out loud and I often don’t do that when I watch things by myself.
I haven’t checked whether it got good reviews or if other people like it so maybe I am alone here. But it amused me greatly.
I was really afraid that Community was gonna be this week’s Glee, but I found myself pleasantly surprised as well. I thought it was hilarious. Remember when everyone was mouthing things and Abed thought he had gone deaf?
