Pygmania

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblecore Maybe I should resuscitate?

Dreamt I squished a giant, translucent, female silverfish which was pregnant with twins (because clearly silverfish are mammals).  She died right away, oozing blood and gross fluids by the liter.  Last but not least, the two babies/fetuses (what is the plural of fetus? Is it 3rd declension?) were launched out her "asshole," slathered in red silverfish blood. This has been the most unconscionable event since my last silverfish nightmare.

"Girl from Ipati, Greece," by Elli Souyioultzoglou-Seraïdari, circa 1930 It reminds me of Pygmalion.  Just noticed the tznius headgear, sweet.  But gorgeous old picture, no?  "Gorgeous, form of"

Mall walking  is a form of exercise in which people walk or jog through the usually long corridors of shopping malls. Many malls open early so that people may mall walk, however stores and other such facilities generally do not open at this time. Many choose to mall walk as the indoor climate is comfortable and there is easy access to restrooms. Mall walking is undertaken individually, in groups, or as part of an organized mall walking program. The Mall Walker's Association of America is one of the most popular national mall walking programs in the United States. Mall walking in the United States is especially popular amongst senior citizens.

That Metrocards were $10 a swipe. Manhattan quickly descended into chaos, and you and I were living in a Hooverville (in the Met, obviously).

Rest assured.  The seltzer is kosher for Passover. Today Ricky called me from Mel's with Jenny, trying to finish a growler of not Blue Moon but something with even higher alcoholic content.  He called me back begging me to come help him, but of course I couldn't!

This exists "Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I was very happy with the advice you gave me about my silverfish problem." - Mary Ionesco, Manchester, England The first step is admitting you have a problem. "Bob, I have read your eBook and it told me that my bedroom was set up as an all inclusive resort haven for silverfish." - Fran Basileo, Florida Step two is admitting you have an all-inclusive resort haven, whatever the fuck that is. "Thank you for getting back to me so quickly with the helpful response.  I will start waging war against the silverfish tonight!" - Shirley C., Michigan No, Shirley C., thank YOU.  Moving on...

As a fluent speaker of Ferman (Faux-German for those who aren't in the know), i have a tendency to make hilarious German malapropisms. The content of this post is knots, since that is where my head is now, but significantly, the title translates to "emergency animals." See what I mean? Apropos. This is the Kinoshita-Terasaka knot. On a stylish powder blue crew neck t-shirt. Maybe all my studies of math have been preparing me for this sartorial moment. Scott Schuman, you will not ignore me this time.

the only caveat is, this would/should never happen on a Friday.
