I have not been to the dentist in like three years and
The longer I wait to go to the dentist the worse I
Dread going to the dentist because I know that he or
She will look at my teeth and say “I notice
That you have not been to the dentist in
A while and when you neglect your teeth your
Whole body suffers and I can tell you right
Now that you will have to undergo painful procedures...

itsfrantastic asked: Out of curiosity, what didn't you like about The Kids are All Right? I thought it was pretty mediocre myself, but the reviews say otherwise.

MISTAKES I MADE IN 2010
(MISTAKES NOT MADE BY ME ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PERUSAL HERE)
1. I fucked up my coffee approximately 50 times.
2. I drank two bottles of wine, by myself, one evening in September. During a dark moment, shut up!
3. I sent a Tumblr message to someone because I confused them with someone else. In the message, which was regarding the deletion of this person’s blog, I said “You’re...

I Don't Normally Do This
Clarence came over for dinner. Everyone always loved Clarence. He was full of jokes and would often take requests and play his guitar. Some of their best nights in college had been spent this way, into the wee hours of the morning when Clarence had to trek back to his studio apartment.
“Clarence!” called little Mildred. “Won’t you play Billy Joel’s My Life while I...

– The Salvation Army’s current statement of belief on homosexuality.
I honestly did not know this until I was told not to donate to them today and did some research. This is why Out Of The Closet got five giant bags of clothes from me today. (Along with one unopened copy of the Twlight New Moon board...

Paralysis
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and that whole situation, is of course very different from the kind of paralysis I’m talking about: booking flights, going to the grocery store, vacuuming, doing work, finishing my coffee. Where’d the resolve go? Was it ever there? It wasn’t ever there. The body wants to sit. The body sits. It weighs as much as two large carry-on bags and a...

One-Sentence Movie Reviews
The Kids are All Right: So much less than the sum of its parts that it felt like a Lifetime movie, except in a Lifetime movie maybe someone would have justified the fact that one of the couple’s children is named “Laser.”
Black Swan: I loved this movie not only because it was PSYCHOSEXUAL, as promised, but also because of the effective cuticle-mutilation gore (so real!).

Holes in windowpanes where bugs crawl in. Crumbling archway with a yellow door. Train a microscope on the grout: whole armies of mold and fungus. Someone came to clean the gutters because a tree was growing on the roof. It was a small tree, but still. Something creaks. Everything creaks. Especially the metal thing that houses plates. That creaks a lot. The house is sixty-nine years old. I am only...

Online dating sites are interesting to me.
I haven’t had the experience of joining one, except to spy around on all the people I knew who once used JDate, because I’m engaged and have been with my person since I was comparatively wee. When I was single, online dating was less publicly accepted without someone going “Oh God, are you doing that!” and even though it still...
