calm feelings

He lulls me into sleep, 
crunching on bamboo,
 humming old Chinese commercial jingles
which just sound beautiful to me

It's been a no nonsense campaign so far



"Sending babies to prison?"

They're just tears!

"This feels like Europe."
"Because we're playing games in a weird place
and eating a bunch of weird snacks?" 
"Yep."

Group vote

Without my consent it's been declared that I am a baby a.k.a the weakling of the group.  Just because I made TJ carry my backpack across that land bridge and cried, got glass in my finger during stained glass class, and was pukey that one time we were moving on the hottest day of the year.

You WILL respect this movie!

"What if, throughout the whole movie he kept getting his hair out of way."

"Like this" shaking head side to side in big swoops

"Or brushing it aside with his pinkie."

Then we wheezed and disrespected the movie we had just told TJ he had to like.

what's the bfd?

Hey Jeffco Public Schools, why so glum? Who cares if the school board is sanctioning censorship in the name of patriotism? What's so wrong about that? I mean North Korea has been doing it for years, and look how happy those people are!

good for hemroids

"Abe would be proud. That thing has got to be a beast."
"I like that it dares to claim it's 'comfortable.'"
"Who'da thought, we only had to crane it in."
"Welp, I guess we'll put it in the basement. Since it fell through the floorboards."
