Have you cried over this video yet?  I HAVE. Tears streaming down my face, gasping, et al.

this is good in every way.

OMG I am BAWLING right now. His Brooklyn accent kills me b/c it makes me think of my old in-laws.

Just walked up to the counter and tried to order food whilst checking my e-mail. Once again, I am THAT GUY.

I’m chasing this hangover with herbal tea and a cigarette. I’ll let y’all know how that goes.

UPDATE: my head still hurts a little.

I’m running around in flip-flops and rolled-up jeans. Mentally, I’m already at the beach.

ultralaser asked: OH LOOK WHAT I BLOGGED IN APRIL

I think the entire internet is glad you blogged this. And by ‘the entire internet’ I mean ‘just me’ and by ‘glad you blogged this’ I mean ‘I chuckle every time’.

SON OF A BITCH! (watch the background)

The worst part is I remember this commercial.

i’ve always said that the dividing line between internet natives and their elder generations is whether or not you had sex or the internet first.

TEAM INTERNET.

Also at first I thought this said, “Whether or not you had sex on the Internet first,” and I kind of freaked out.

DEFINITELY TEAM INTERNET

HEY YOU GUYS

    Alan Warner’s novels:
  • Morvern Callar (1995)
  • These Demented Lands (1997)
  • The Sopranos (1998)
  • The Man Who Walks (2002)
  • The Worms Can Carry Me To Heaven (2006)
  • The Stars in the Bright Sky (2010)
I’ve read these ones. The last three were never published in the US but are available through amazon.co.uk, which was pretty exciting to discover as I didn’t know until a year ago that he’d kept writing.

Morvern Callar is one of the best novels ever, and the Sopranos taught me more about writing than can reasonably be expected of a novel. The Worms Can Carry Me To Heaven is a fair departure from the first three, but once I warmed up to it I promptly fell in love with it.

He’s quite good and I recommend his work, is what I’m saying.
