Why is it so hard to have a West Side Story revival? Not asking alex (a;ex to most others) to sing America, which she does so beautifully.
wtf? i play scrabulous all the time. you can get laid in a scrabulous room? who knew?
"oh yeah, put your P and your Q around my O. right there! Bingo!"
The two articles I was most interested in reading now contain actual links; my day is complete.

oh hey! umm so i did a new vlog last night...um and there may be a shout out to you.
so yeah...
Okay, so what does it mean that I accidentally started two games with Lozo at once?
I just read The Book of Other People, too. (Well, sort-of just - since then I've read The Children's Hospital, which is amazing and I think you, and everyone, would love.) I liked it. And have been meaning to blog about it since I finished it, oh, a month ago.
ry guy - i will have to witness this before i can comment. it is in her heritage, so i believe it.
lozo - is this an inside joke for people who play scrabulous? I've never played. In any event, I'd suggest reading the article, which is now actually linked. I realize saying that is like suggesting a deaf person download the this american life podcast.
adam - one of my favorite habits of myself is when I do that, which's often. I'm so happy to have assembled my little list that somehow the process of actually ShARING the list is err, lost in translation. salute!
eric mathew - really eric mathew? REALLY!!
jaime: I liked it too -- the mirandy july story i'd actually read in the new yorker, but i loved it when i read it then. i found the second half far more engaging in the first half -- some of the first stories, especially the one about the guy in the movie theater whatever that was, made my eyes bleed, but the last half was engaging and I liked the graphic stuff too.
i'm pretty sure what you said about playing scrabulous lozo means you are a lesbian, but don't quote me on that.
bullshit. i read it. wait. read what? i read the headline. you want me to click and read some more too? jesus balls, marie. i'm just one man. next thing you know you'll be telling me i have to be on top once.
and jaime, it was great for me, if that helps.
I was so excited to see the Bret Easton Ellis article - thanks. You know how I feel about Bret Easton Ellis.
ry guy - there is totally going to be a WSS revival...they are starting to cast it now...only those who are fluent in spanish are being considered for the PRs! Semicolon better brush up! ;)
lozo - Look all I'm asking is that you pitch in a little more, okay? My thighs & eyes are tired from doing all the topping and reading.
crystal - I know, I almost wanted to say, "this one's for crystal."
haviland - you look like laura benanti
