This salad plate has bloody eyes and wields a wild needle and thread. Remember that.
My mom and I play Scrabble when I go home, where we enjoy some wine and delight in mispronouncing words in unison. Empty bottle, she interrogates me and I tell all of Laura Palmer’s secrets...
"Scrabble, originally called Criss Cross, was developed by Alfred M. Butts, an out-of-work architect, in 1931. It was redesigned, renamed as Scrabble, and marketed by James Brunot in 1948. A Macy's executive saw the game being played at a resort in 1952 and the store (the world's largest at that time) began carrying it. Manufacturing of the game was turned over to Selchow & Righter. Scrabble has 225 squares on a board and 100 letter tiles, each imprinted with a point value for different letters, approximately corresponding to the frequency of occurrence of the letter in English words. More than 100 million sets have been sold, in 24 languages. It is considered the world's most popular word game." (via Reference.com)

Get wasted without a hangover; drink sythehol, little Trekkie.
Global warming beats igloos with a stick!
Our bodies and minds are infected with parasites.
More on the thin thin line between creativity and insanity.

Hello. Are you enjoying Brooklyn? It sounds like you've been having fun.
I'm a schizotype, actually, as it goes... and it goes smoothly on this, another Jesus Day x
hi finnegan--chow-down Scrabble! that's great. what sort of class do you teach?
hi benjamin--I'm enjoying Brooklyn a good bit, thanks. I really like my new place, having new things to walk around and look at, easy access to Manhattan. that's the upside to knowing the air there is turning my lungs black. Happy Another Jesus Day to you. some day that's how Easter will be listed on calendars.
