Editor’s note: This all is still very good valid advice.  Except maybe the part about my mom’s house but no one ever expects the global economic collapse/Spanish inquisition.  Also, B. seems pretty sure that only my mom *or* I could have survived my 20s living together.  She’s known me since I was eight so I tend to think she’s right.  Also, wow.  Boys and girls were very flattering to me when I was 23.  Who knew that one day the world would not be an endless stream of praise cakes?  Not me.  Not me.

Also, I’ve learned that even when I land on my ass, I do it like a cat. (Totally meant to do that!  *Pose!*)

Quotes of the last day or two:

* “Let it go, small sparrow.” (from a coworker re: a bizarre fortune cookie fortune that made too much sense)

* “She needs you more than you need her and that’s how you’ll get the upper hand. Besides, you’re a sexy bitch so you’ll be fine.”

* “If I was your exboyfriend, I’d be having a nervous breakdown too. I don’t think I could bear once having you and then not, it would feel like being Adam and getting thrown out of Eden.”

* “But you learned never to be that young and stupid again.” (another coworker)

* “You will be fun and suave and you can sit in my lap.”

* “Don’t worry about it, just do it. You will never say to yourself, ‘I wished I stayed longer in my mother’s house.’”

* “My fun dancing polar bear zen kitten of spooky doom.”

* “Anything less than extrodinary isn’t worth doing.” (from Dreams for an Insomniac)

* “It’s not owning what you want/ it’s wanting what you got.”

More to come soon! The wheel is spinning, I feel it. The only question is will i land like a cat or on my ass?

Dear Deb,

Listening to the live version of The #Decemberists’ “We Both Go Down Together” with the extra Morrissey cover at the end during your shark week is very definitely the dumbest thing you’ve done today.

Pull your shit together, you have a blog entry to write.

No love,

Deb

Prince Gumball’s path to the throne was brutal. Fionna wasn’t around during the Sugar Wars; Gumball distracts her by acting super bland and wearing disco pants.

Marshall Lee knows the truth, but as Chaotic Neutral, he just can’t bring himself to give a shit.

ETA: Nhyworks just gave me the amazing pun ‘Game of Scones.’ Brb dying ok.

Today we say thank you and best wishes to SNM-NYC original cast member Ching-I Chang, who we are told gave her final performance last night. A reader submits the following account:

Tonight was Ching-I Chang’s last night. I was soooo sad (I’m the same anon who wrote in last week saying that…

Just a pool, disguised as a pond, with a trampoline instead of a diving board

Holy fuck! I wrote a paper about these kinds of pools several years ago for a class when they were just prototypes. These pools have a natural filtration system that run based on the plants that are in the pool that give the water nutrients that allow it to not only be crystal clear, but you are also able to drink the water because it becomes so clean. And the best part is that once the initial filtration system is installed and calibrated, it maintains itself and eliminates the need for chlorine or constant maintenance like salt water pools. 

I want one
