    Do you ever read a debate on the internet and want to create an account on the website just to tell people the issue they're so keenly debating is ridiculous? Case in point: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/s....php?t=2266922

    Ha. But then the conversation would start with me saying the expression in question is just written in a sloppy way which, in practice, you'd understand through context; that the order of operations is an arbitrary convention; and that one's ability to get the 'right' answer in this case has no bearing on one's understanding of math.

    Why do people who are not eligible for AARP membership still write checks at the convenience or grocery store? I try to make it a point to verbally sigh when the person in front of me whips out a checkbook. Maybe I need to start showing them my fancy new check card that I use so as not to be a pain in the ass to everyone in line behind me every time I shop. This shit needs to stop.

    So, yeah, there's that whole story where the play I wrote was made into that silly made-for-tv romantic comedy.

    My brother is a no-nonsense, muy macho kind of guy, who was dragged to my play against his will, missing a soccer game when he was just a young boy, and I assure you he has never seen the movie. Because it would break his brain.

    He's going to a small, conservative religious college in a tiny town.

    I was just on the phone with him, and he said, "So, yeah, all the girls here have your movie."

    I said, "What, they own it? Like they enjoy it?"

    And he said, "Yeah, it's always on their DVD shelves. I check, and I swear, every girl has it."

    I laughed (croaked, actually, I still don't have a voice) and said, "So, are you all like, Hey, my sister wrote that?"

    There was a long silence, and he said, "Um... no. No, I do not do that."

    Maybe I'm loopy from the cough medicine, but that was the funniest thing ever. I'm still giggling.
    ...and the milk's in me.

    It's good to know that Edie McClurg is still a hit with the kids.

    It's very possible. That's something I would do.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Someone just 'liked' my CSG Facebook page. They have a couple's account, and their profile picture is of their naked toddler daughter.

    Yep.

    For context, this was Critical Mass in Brazil two months ago. If you live in a big city, you'd know what Critical Mass is. Basically, a bunch of cyclists get together once a month and stop traffic by crowding the road, in order to, I dunno, congratulate each other and share how awesome biking is and protest automobile use or something.

    When the cops arrested the driver, he admitted that he did it on purpose because he was really pissed off at the cyclists for blocking the road.

    Well I mean 40 people were hospitalized, but no one died if that's what you mean.

    I absolutely hate Critical Mass. It's so utterly fucking stupid.

    I want to get a bunch of cars together and Critical Mass the Tour de Lance.
