We all do it eventually, but there’s something about dying that seems totally unfair to me. Something besides the never seeing anyone you love again or their ever again seeing you. It’s that, as a storyteller, I will never be able to sum up my death in a few (or a bunch of) words, or make a joke about its irony if applicable. I don’t by any means want people to joke about my death (you jerks), but as someone like me would tend to … Continue reading
A long time ago, when I was much angrier or at least cared more, some idiot commented on my blog in all his pretentiousness and [in all likelihood only] criticized me for writing about the ‘minutiae of my life’ [because it made him feel all warm and special inside to say a word containing more than three vowels in it].

(To buy friends?) … Continue reading
One of my fish who I noticed was missing all day has turned up dead. Well, half of him has, but I haven’t got much hope for the rest of him. So far, a string of a fish body has surfaced from beneath one of the plastic aquarium plants. The rest of his body and his head are yet to be found.
