I hate anxiety! I was just drinking paint and I got this awful feeling that it has lead in it, even though I know I would never buy lead drinking paint, but the feeling just gnawed at me until I checked. I wish I could just be normal and enjoy my paint.

CHILDREN OF MEN is going to place “surprisingly” high on the NYT Best Movies of the Century list (like #7) and it’s going to formally occasion the Strange New Respect that we all know is coming so I just want to say I have been riding for that movie since I was a sophomore in high school

Today I had a customer who was carrying a jar of pesto which looked incredible: it was coarser and somehow funkier than usual. I said "Wow, that pesto looks amazing. Where did you get it?" "It's not pesto" he said, and he opened the jar, reached in with his hand, and pulled out... a newt.
