Close-Mindedness
December 28th, 2008"Why do you think people are close-minded?"
I regarded the question like a fresh forehead pimple on a first date. "Because people are idiots, that's why."
"What a close-minded answer," my friend answered.
How Would You Rate This Year?
December 21st, 2008"How would you rate this year for you?" my friend asked. "From a scale of one to five: one being the worst, five being the best."
I scratched my chin and cleared my throat. Then I gave my answer.
A Rapidly Depreciating Capital Asset
December 7th, 2008You know what is a rapidly depreciating capital asset? A new car. You're not thinking of buying one, are you? Are you??
Good, I didn't think so. Especially not in this economy.
What Would You Do If the World Was Full of Zombies?
November 30th, 2008I think we can all agree that sometimes, it's important to prepare for the worst. Part of any good preparation plan includes scenario building. From those various scenarios can come any number of solutions.

Types of Kisses
November 9th, 2008Oh, how can I kiss thee? Let me count the ways…
That Chocolate Egg Doesn't Taste Right
November 2nd, 2008I thought it kind of my friend to leave those chocolate eggs in my fridge. She had needed a place to crash for a while. Since I was out of town, I offered up my place, provided she didn't go around snooping through my porn stash or crack needles. (I kid, I kid!)
Turtle Snack Attack
October 26th, 2008"Awww, what a cute little turtle!" he marveled. The baby turtle, about the size of his thumb's fingernail, wiggled on his finger. Its tiny legs struggled to climb and move somewhere.
"It's so cute it looks almost good to eat! Hmm… maybe…"
The Little Lemur
October 19th, 2008It was a fine sunny day when I took a stroll through the zoo with my stuffed puppy. Because, c'mon, who wouldn't want to stroll through the zoo with their stuffed puppy?
