My friends are becoming avatars—smiling faces with one-liner quips next to their names, short expressions of happiness or sadness or love or hate. Or, oh my god, self-promotion. Propaganda. Marketing. We’ve become our own advertisements for…ourselves. Publicity agents for our own lives. Whoring ourselves to our friends. And I’m sure it’s all genuinely felt. Oh, I’m...

In the other room, Monica is naked on the bed. When I lean close to the mirror, I can see her in it. She is lying on her back and Honey is beside her in a curl. She pets her with one hand. Her other hand is folded over her stomach. She says: “I don’t think you enjoy fucking me.”

Darkforce Double Extreme Imperial Wheat Stout from HaandBryggeriet just gave me goosebumps. That’s the clean version of what happened.

Dear chipmunks: Honey is older and wiser this year. You’ve been warned.
I’m waiting for paint to dry. No, really.
We took the chain saw for its first spin. Everybody is okay. Thanks for asking.
Among other things I bought yesterday at Home Depot: a chain saw. This ain’t over.

The older I get, the harder it is to stay up all night, and so the more necessary it becomes to be strictly a daytime drunk.
