When you write this to someone and realize it's...
Maybe it was different for them. I know that for me it’s mostly strings of nights ordering in and watching terrible television and/or listening to records and reading. It used to involve finding people with nothing to offer me but the ability to forget that I was alone for anywhere from 6 to 30 minutes.
I just want to go somewhere empty and desolate, cold and dark and clean.
I want to try something different for a while.

I don’t really think that’s how cancer OR socialism works.
You guys, what should I write for my boarding school’s class notes for my 10th reunion?!
Leah has a budding vinyl collection and works as an Excel jockey. She still dislikes you, probably, and hopes you’re failing miserably and overidentify with Girls.

I didn’t receive a message from this guy, thank you skies above, but he did visit my profile(multiple times). Guess I didn’t meet his 100 criteria, and he was just making sure. He probably expects me to go and cry about it.

I searched tumblr tags for “Sliders” hoping to find some screencaps of the 90’s sci-fi show and all I found was pictures of mini hamburgers.

Not that I’m reading every single one or anything.
Also, the amount of self-hatred that has to be involved in a writer using the term “mumblecore” for derogatory purposes has to be so crushing and awful. “Every Friday night of my life is a shitty genre,” you know?
But I’m not making anyone watch every Friday night of my life.
No one makes anyone watch...
This is worthless -- but at least I know that
I spent the train ride giving this “if you hate mumblecore you hate yourself” argument more thought than it’s really worth. To paraphrase Woody Allen, I may hate myself, but it’s not because my life is mumblecore.
The fact is that there’s a reason television and movies don’t mirror real life. Seinfeld, the original show about nothing wasn’t really a show...

Lately I’ve been feeling a bit dumb. A few weeks ago I fucked up a check to my shrink and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Yesterday I told him that I’d been embarrassed because I hadn’t wanted to interrupt his routine and I could only figure that he’d been supremely aggravated with me for this. And so, when he told me that I was allowed to be a minor...

My son, Liam, was diagnosed at ten weeks with a rare liver disease named Biliary Atresia. He has been doing well, but it has become clear that he needs a new liver as soon as possible. This is very expensive, even though we have very good health insurance (something I wish for everyone!). Liam loves zoos, Yo Gabba Gabba, being hilarious, incredibly smart and stubborn. He’s pictured with...

I saw the phrase “dour marine biologist” and thought it said “dear marine biologist” and then I thought, How great would it be if someone would meld Dear Catastrophe Waitress with Seinfeld?
Can someone write a thinkpiece on whether we still care about Brooklyn?
