I’m not a morning person. I wasn’t a morning person when I had a 9 to 5 job. I wasn’t a morning person when I had to be in school at 7:30 am to feed the gerbils and water the impatients.
I’m not a fucking morning person when you call me at 6:30am and ask me to do you a favor that will cost me time and money. That you won’t cover. I’m not a morning person when you tell me I’m emotionally distant. Listen up asshat, I’m not emotionally distant, I’m not awake. What the fuck does that even mean?
Or rather I wasn’t then but I am now. I’m wounded. And I’m fucking seething. Never leave a wounded animal in the field, it will come back to haunt you. Or gore you.

UPDATED: With even more patchy goodness!
I’m not big into patches or other forms of nonfunctional adornment. Not for me. BUT…
The last Shuttle Mission patch is an exception. I want to wear that. And cry.
Get it here. $5.99
(the other one I’d wear: The infamous “tastes like chicken” faux 509th bomber group patch. OK, I’d wear this, this, this and pretty much anything listed here. But then I grew up in the Cold War and ingested way too many spy novels and movies, so wearing a patch that announces to the world your a secret squirrel just makes me giggle. Plus the ones for the support services kick ass.)

“The chief commodity a writer has to sell is his courage. And if he has none, he is more than a coward. He is a sell-out and a fink and a heretic, because writing is a holy chore.” –Harlan Ellison

Just saw the first half of The Venture Brothers season 4. This because they’re releasing the second half. Possibly the most ambitious show on tv. Certainly the only one with character development. Wow. Any show where Jonny Quest is a recovering junkie & Race Bannon is a government torturer can’t be all bad.
