Hangovers Are The Suck

October 7, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Holy shit did I drink a lot of flavored vodka last night.  Absolut Pear & tonics go down like buttah.

Thus, today was Hangover Day.  Hangover Day used to be Hangover Morning or Hangover Hour, but that was back in college when my liver was stronger.  It could benchpress its own weight!

Hangover Day is also Moping Day, and Bored and Lonely Day. I think it’s because I hurt just a bit too much to actually do anything, but I can still think about all the ways in which I am a dysfunctional human being.  And because I am still hungover, I don’t have the energy to actually do anything to address these issues.  It’s a vicious cycle.  The most productive thing I did today was go to Rite-Aid to buy TP.  (I actually really like browsing in [large, well-lit, clean] drug stores.  It’s like a cheap Sephora.  Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that Sephora is like an expensive drugstore.  Whatever, buying beauty products is a good way to feel better.  Especially those Biore pore strips.  I love Biore pore strips.)

Also, a Boy hasn’t returned a Call, and I am mindfucking that to death.  Stooopit Boys.  I would be much saner without them.  I have been whining about that one to just about everyone I know, including the crazy singing dude at the Ditmars stop on the N.  I would very much like to turn off the part of my brain that goes, “ZOMG! WHY has he not called me back! He hates me! Is he dead? Tied up in a basement by a psychotic ex? Did he see my ass fat?  Whyowhy?” over and fucking over, like a goddamned hamster on a wheel.  It’s so obnoxious.

Useless day.  I’m going to put on a face mask and go to bed.

It’s Just a Puff…

October 2, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I meant to post this a couple weeks ago, but, well, September has just flown by…

I went to the Brooklyn Book Festival yesterday, which once again confirmed how much hipsters annoy me.  But I didn’t have any cash with me and I was mostly just hanging out with a visiting friend, so. Anyway, I did see one guy, probably the author, selling a book called It’s Just a Plant: A Story About Marijuana for Children.

Now, ok, I agree the drug laws in this country are beyond ridiculous, but it’s not exactly the hill I want to die on, and I don’t want the future, hypothetical fruit of my loins to die on it either. But that’s neither here nor there, as I’ve been amusing myself by making up the rest of the story:

“Sometimes, when a mommy and daddy are really stressed or bored, they might like to toke up. And that’s OK! Unlike vodka or crack, marijuana is a plant! That means it’s all-natural and good for you!”

“If you find the ends of roaches or empty baggies around the house, remember: throw them away! You never know who might be raiding your house next.”

“When people smoke marijuana, they get high. And then they get ‘the munchies.’ This means they want to eat! Make sure you have snack food out or the pizza delivery guy on speed dial before you smoke up.”

“And always remember, kids — don’t spill the bong water!”

Other books in the series:
