I love this book, and this quote is perfect.
Up North
cerebralhollsy:
For many people, a vacation can serve as a great time to find some answers to questions that have been looming. But what I’ve found up north is a complete intolerance for thinking, a down right refusal to participate in it, and a deep sense of joy for living moment to moment. None of my questions get addressed at all.
And then, upon my return, when I turn the key to my...

Tigers: They're grrrrreat. At eating people.
Did you see the news about the guy from London, Ontario who got mauled and killed by his pet tiger? Or should I say, one of his pet tigers. I feel the fact that he had more than one is important. If you only have one tiger, you’re clearly just a rich guy who has run of of shit to spend his money on. Having multiple tigers, that’s a whole new level of crazy.

The Obligatory 2010 Post
So, twenty ten has finally arrived. On January 1st the internet is full of self-involved blog posts - lots of reflecting and navel-gazing and heartfelt promises for the coming year. It’s like a giant emo-landfill (even more than usual), littered with piles of regrets, disappointments and hope. Therefore, in the spirit of doing my part, I’m simply going to add to the problem by...

I saw her do stand up a couple of months back, and she can be very, very funny.
