      Those cats don't look like Hitler; they look like Charlie Chaplin.

      Thanks, fres. Now I have synthpop in my head.

      I'm cleaning up my diet. I hope my body likes vegetables.

      I can't get the melody to "The Rakes of Mallow" out of my head. It's like my brain was infiltrated by faeries.

      Does anyone know what a 140-character status update looks like? I've been wondering for a while since first seeing that ominous green 140. X

      I had weird dreams last night—as in, "I think I might be going crazy" weird.

      Hello, friend Guru. Are you having a delightful day?

        I missed this. I guess I'm still learning the ropes. Thanks for the note. I think Thursday was fairly delightful, if I recall.

    The details of my life are quite inconsequential. But very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical — summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it —
