Currently Stalking:
I hope that you took time to sleep in, have a fruity drink, get a pedicure, or maybe even check out a really intense Cuban cage fight today! Whatever floats your boat, Lady — it’s your day!
This photo might capture the spirit of the getup Jeff likes to wear about town when he’s running errands and doesn’t want to be bothered. Or, it might be a picture of my dad during a particularly trying time in his life that our family rarely talks about.
The only way you’ll find out is by listening to our first official episode of 21st Century Penpals, which is ON. ITS. WAY.
Shake Ya Tailfeather ft. Nelly and P. Diddy, by Murphy Lee.
I HAVE CLEANING TO DO AND IMPORTANT ERRANDS TO RUN.
And I’ll play this really loud in my car to scare all the white people.

I am so elitist I wear Fancy Pants. Just ask Jessica.
It’s true. Michele’s Fancy Pants are so fancy that she’s not allowed to wear them unless her legs are freshly dusted with a powder derived from Tim Haines’ crushed spirit.
Since my father is now officially retired, he has a lot of free time on his hands. When he’s not fishing, cutting wood, or tinkering around on a farm project, he’s watching television. I worry where all this TV viewing is leading, and the ideas it is filling his impressionable mind with. In some respects, the man is a veritable blank canvas.
Case in point: Lately, whenever dear old Dad receives a phone call from a stranger whom he suspects is a scam artist, he proudly rebuffs their request for his personal information with a resounding “I’m not falling for your tricks, buddy! You can call my daughter — she’s a lawyer!!!!” He then proceeds to give the hapless cog my office number. My father is very proud of these exchanges. Proud that he swiftly avoided what was surely to be his financial ruin, proud that he has a lawyer-daughter to summon to his every cause. Afterward, Dad calls me all aglow and tells me point-by-point how he laid into a would-be swindler. It’s his glory moment of the day.
The problem is, some of these people are calling him about legitimate business. Last week, an exasperated representative from his bank called me at work because my father had hung up on her two times in a row when she tried to inform him of suspicious activity on an account. Last month, he called my brother’s student loan officer a “greedy fucking dupek.” (dupek is Polish for asshole) I admittedly agree with his assessment of the matter, but still. My father is slowly turning into the Slavic equivalent of Andy Rooney, and I want it to stop. Especially before his eyebrows eat his face. He’s only 64, people. This is all happening too soon. I’m not an adult yet.
I was inspired by everydaydude. But still, I’ve decided to go with some crazy elbow-length cashmere gloves I just found online.
Thanks, everybody!
What’s something interesting and unique I should do with my winnings??

*sigh* Ok, so this is awkward.
There’s this thing @fedge and I have been working on and we’ve been having a lot of fun working it and getting to know each other better in the process and I admit that sometimes I want to kill him so I have this old Care Bear that I throw at the wall when I’m mad at him because he’s in Seattle and I’m in Maine and sometimes I’m sure he wants to kill me but all in all we amuse the fuck out of each other and I hope that’s apparent when you listen to our thing because you are going to listen to it because I’m going to ask you random questions about it later and you don’t want to have to be all like, “yeah, … I remember that part. It was funny!” and I’ll have to be all “Liar! I made that part up just to test you! You’re dead to me now!”
