“You’re telling me her character, but you’re not telling me what she looks like. I can’t draw her character.”

Pause, to allow time for drawing, pencil clutched in hand, tongue sticking a tiny bit out of mouth,

“There. Her lips. I didn’t draw her smiling cause you said she’s never smiling at you.”

Just when you think things can't get WORSE

The boy from high school who you lost your virginity to (in a stranger's COMPUTER ROOM. On a COT.) facebook messages you and says:

Matt: was up, do you remember me?

1:25amMatt changed his profile picture.

1:54amCaroline: of course I remember you, Emmert. how are you?

1:54amMatt: hahaha. im good how are you?

1:54amCaroline: oh, doing alright. I hear you're engaged?

1:55amMatt: I am, still a whirlwind, but nothing will ever amount to the first time. you were the best.

1:56amCaroline: oh my god.

1:56amMatt: hahah, sorry to be so graphic

1:56amCaroline: right. I certainly HOPE that is not true.

1:56amMatt: what i loved the most was our honesty.

1:56amCaroline: oh, right, for sure. that was the best.

1:57amMatt: i think my fav part was in school that next week. neither you or me gave a shit. so where are you these days

All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace.

That’s the best line that’s gere, unless you somehow like mammals. I think it’s a really, really good line.

Michael Eric Dyson Just Loves The Sound Of His Own Dialogue

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:47:10 -0500

PS. Guess who we met last night: Professor Michael Eric Dyson — if you don’t know the name you would recognize his talking head from When The Levees Broke. It was pretty cool! He even gave Daddy his card and wants to have an e-mail “dialogue” with him. The perks of celebrity! Actually, he seems like a person who wants to dialogue with EVERYONE. Anyway, it was neat. Love, Mommy

My mother sends links from America Online. She doesn’t know how to change a subject line, so they all come labeled like Chinese spam. Yesterday:

Check out 10 Reasons To Stop Drinking Coffee - AOL Health

Yeah, I checked that out. It included the above image, to accompany Reason 3:

“people who drink too much coffee could start seeing ghosts or hearing strange voices! Students in the study who drank more than seven cups of instant coffee each day were three times more likely to hallucinate than people who drank one cup.”

I wrote back to my mother, and replied all. Because both my sister and father might have been worried, too:

“I can promise you that I will quit consuming caffeine while I am pregnant. Additionally, I can promise you that coffee was not to blame for any hallucinations I may have ever experienced. So, rest easy?”

An hour later, Hannah replied:

“I refuse to read this article.”

So that’s us! We are the best daughters, and I am not even fooling.

"To end their zombiehood the banks need more capital."

“To end their zombiehood the banks need more capital.”

- A silver lining! The economy is so bad, Paul Krugman got to use the word “zombie” four times in his column from February 22nd! Things could be worse. (Things could not be worse).

Caroline: almost 90% of my gchats are about going to the hamptons
me: that is where we are going. yes. most people are just telling their assistants to tell their eighth generation iphones to tell my assistant (little do they know I assist myself), things like this:
[Ariel]: my friend Stephanie, who, apparently, goes to miami just for the weekend because it's raining in NY, planned this weekend
[me]: well well. stephanie sounds like a keeper.
Caroline: I found a 10th generation iphone in the walgreens parking lot last night
me: total smack phone
Caroline: I think I would like Stephanie. I think I would go to Miami with her, when it was raining in NY.
me: yeah she seems chill right?
Caroline: REALLY CHILL. her pockets are full of chill pills.

This one is even better. Since all I do is write this appellate brief about narcs (I am the narc’s ATTORNEY, you guys, it’s TERRIBLE), I never tumbl anymore. Which I guess is also why I feel like I should keep it family friendly.

I thought I wasn’t going to be able to attend your party, but now that I’ve picked out my outfit and my dance, maybe I can make it after all.
