I may be of inelegant comportment, dance like a tween on sugar, and have the sartorial grace of a recently released inmate, but thanks to my brief life as a male runway model, give me earbuds, a tune, and a long hallway and I'll sashay that bitch like I own the place.

As I expected, I am snowed in and snug, but I would like a hot dog and do not presently have access to a hot dog.
Everything is ruined except for my vegetarian aspirations.

I'm enjoying that new Star Trek. If you're not, stop watching, or at least stop bitching about whatever it is that tired old assholes bitch about when the world doesn't stay the way they want it to. Yeah, yeah, it's terrible, now shut up and go away.

Dear LGBTQ people,
Please stop talking to #AndyCohen. He's a creep, a cynical opportunist, an exploitative shitbag, and when did any of us vote for him to represent us? Trash TV to appeal to the worst in all its viewers. #FuckAndyCohen - Andy is self-promotion incarnate. Gross.

I learned many important, horrible, amazing, life-changing things in 2025, but they all pale in comparison to my realization that chipmunks are squirrels.

"Gear is the mind-killer. Gear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my gear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the gear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." #JOMO

I have an extremely handsome winter sweater, but I have a reluctance to wear it because of my fear of being mistaken for someone who might own skis.

I was viewed askance in response to my opining that I preferred the sound of Québécois French to Parisian French because the former sounds pornier.

It always makes me laugh when streaming video people open with "Hey, what's up everybody?" Are we supposed to talk to the screen like idiot children watching Howdy Doody in Ye Olden Days?

Funny how often literature is full of things that, if heard, seen, or known, would make you go insane. People sure were afraid of suddenly going insane back in the day. Ironically, they didn't seem to fear being ignorant panicky dimwits, though.

Infotainment? Honey, my car *is* infotainment. I don't need screens and loud music to make a Citroën 2CV 'taining. I sing loud, laugh frequently, and smirk at the rest of the dingdongs stuck in their family trucks.
