Mom and I are having another DVD marathon. This Sunday’s Daylong Matinee: “My So-Called Life”. So I decided to do a little hunting and gathering off the ‘net. I’m mildly amused by this little gem.

Turk: You know, I love how kids of divorce really have the market cornered on family dysfunction. But let me share with you a typical Thanksgiving at the Turk household: It starts with my mother yelling at my sister for yelling at my grandmother who's yelling at the television screen, which happens to be the microwave. And then my militant brother Jabari - formerly Bob - gives my father attitude for using the word black, even though he's referring to the turkey. Which, by the way, only got burnt because instead of turning the oven off, my bi-polar aunt Leslie tried to shove her head in it. But you know what we do? We kiss... and we hug... and we apologize for all the things we said... 'Cause a month later, we gonna get together and do it again at Christmas!
Uncyclopedia Does Moby Dick →
Yes, yes, I’m well aware of how juvenile scrolling through Uncyclopedia is, but given that I’ve come to resent Moby Dick so strongly within the last 72 hours, I couldn’t help but look this up… And laugh through the side of my mouth. For a split second, I almost humored the idea of emailing the link to this article to my professor, but thought better of it. It’d be a...

Side Note
For a short while I felt a bit sad about my tendency to reblog like mad. I’ve decided that’s nonsense. I follow some interesting fellows. They beg to be reblogged, and that’s okay. :)

cycle(s)
Everytime I feel particularly nervous, easily agitated and overly emotional for no apparent reason, I calculate whereabouts I am in my cycle so that I can blame it all on hormones. As much as I hate the stigma that’s attached to female moodiness in correlation with PMS, I find it an easier pill to swallow than any other explanation. Any other explanation(s) being that I’m afraid of...

M2: I remember you telling me that I looked like "a Paki" many moons ago, I didn't know what that meant, so I looked it up. Now I know.

the 5th of July
I had high hopes for today. I planned to finish my laundry, prepare for a new set of classes that begin tomorrow, go through mountains of belongings to rid myself of junk, and possibly move into the bigger bedroom down the hall. When I woke (after a wonderful, eight hour slumber, mind you), I heard the television hum from behind my mother’s door. Now we’re both watching “Nacho...
