ok as Vince said the national anthem don’t even slap but that mariachi rendition at the Bears game joins the pantheon of like five versions i enjoy. The guitar rhythm. The strings countermelody. The trumpet flourish at the end. Good stuff

Hey fellow writers, don't know if you need to hear this but celebrate even small things. Finished a draft? Celebrate! Got a cool review? Celebrate! Got onto a reading list or a long list where you think you shouldn't celebrate until you "really have a reason to"? Fuck that. Celebrate!

I want to be clear, this is in no way an indictment of either crying or staring at boobs all night. Those are fine activities in moderation.

thing is, this baby doesn’t have anything to do today. So she can party all she wants. Some of us have to take her older brother to school tho. Some of us have to go to the grocery store. Some of us have things to do besides cry and stare at boobs all night

I didn’t even mind the narrative decisions of the last few Game Of Thrones seasons, but taken as a whole? That show is an utter failure GRR Martin sold out his life’s work before finishing it, and now he can’t, and that makes him a failure

as a recovering alcoholic, gambling apps are like if I had a flask of whiskey in my pocket at all times. Whenever my wife goes to bed, I can pull it out and take a sip, as long as I hide the smell. No one will know if I just munch some peanuts and drink a lot of water too, right?
