MY ZOMBIE PC WALKS THE NIGHT....
I’ve smacked the shit out of this thing and gotten it glassy eyed and breathing (but it’s still going to the doctor next Monday). And I’ll hate Skype till my dying day.
But before I put this machine back on assisted respiration, messages of love to all:
Mabel! Hez! Unfun! Aaron! Karen! Roadkill! Wences! Virus! (and Balk, sigh…)I love you all. Good luck with 2009 to us,...
THE MORE YOU KNOW....
….did you know that trying to remove Skype from your list of programs is like trying to steal jewels from the Mummy’s tomb? and has the same results? Fuckers. My wounded Windows and bruised hard drive will be rather out of commission until available tecchies can be located after the holidays are over. Meanwhille, y’all who know my mail or Facebook can find me there. DEATH TO...
Have you ever had that one friend that manages to...
Oy vey. Remember the Gawker feature of “The Underminer”? I swear, 10% of the population fits into this category. Like the time a friend of mine (who used to teach like me, then went on to glory on Wall Street)invited me to her house and introduced me as…”This is SahahH. She IS an English teacher…..(long pause)…BUT….she’s a good one.” Thanks,...
and just so you all know...
….one of my dear darling students….a young journalist…is on one of her first overseas assignments….somewhere in the West Bank. Love and kisses, Mar. See you soon.
And If I don't?
So, one of my mates - and might I add, she’s a psychologist - at the gym, was snuffing at me..” you just need to have FAITH!! That’s all! Just keep your chin up”.
That’s like someone telling me to dry my hair while I’m drowning.
She’s got a point. I’ll look prettier while I’m going under.
Things that are awesome
Oy vey, Karion. The worst about not making it home for Christmas is missing the niece and nephew. Ickysighsniffwimper. Maybe later in the year, kids.

Staying up with your aunt, your best friend in the world, until 5am, reconnecting. I wish for you all the comfort of having an Arlene in your life.
Israeli Attack Kills Scores Across Gaza →
“Most were members of the security forces of Hamas, the Islamic group that controls Gaza, but a few civilians were also among the dead, including children. Scores more Palestinians were wounded”
Yeah, it’s always just a few civilians. Astonishing aim. I’ve got a friend, a Spanish journalist, who’s on her first foreign assignment in the West Bank this week....

The flaming atheist in me appreciates the irony of the President of Iran respectfully acknowledging Christmas. Nice work, bearded one. Now unshackle the females of your country, and we’ll talk.
"Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."
THERE is A SANTA CLAUS, VIRGINIA. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, YOUR PARENTS DON’T LOVE YOU.

DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? VIRGINIA O’HANLON.
VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the...
HOLY COMMUNION, BATMAN →
It’s almost sacrilige to be an American woman and not have a cookie, cake or pie recipe. Well, sorry, guys, I’m from a long line of women who can’t bake for shit. Except for Grandmother Kathleen McEnroy’s soda bread - which does not count for dessert - we’re strictly store-bought whores. Chalk it up to being true Manhattanites from the moment Katie herself tumbled off...
JUST AN IDEA....
Couldn’t one of those incredibly irritating emo bands do a Christmas version of a classic, and call it “THE LITTLE BUMMER BOY”…??

SILLY. OCTOPI CAN’T WATCH MOVIES BECAUSE ALL THE POPCORN THEY CAN EAT WITH THOSE 8 ARMS MAKES FOR DISTRACTING CRUNCHING.

YEAH, MOLLY.And thanks Mr. Roadkill for keeping Molly’s words alive. As a very underemployed self-employed drone, I appreciate it.

AMAZING. ALEX BALK KNOWS everything…….

With Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler being hailed as a triumphant comeback for actor Mickey Rourke, studios are gambling that moviegoers are hungry for more inspiring stories of redemption. Here’s a look at five films that are currently in production for release early next year:
The Seat Filler Back in the ‘80s, Jimmy “Cushions”...
“It appears that at least $15bn of wealth, much of which was concentrated in...”
– Oh my God, I love this quote about the Madoff investments so much. [Via] (via alexbalk)
I LOVE IT TOO, ALEX. I just hope that Banco Santander,one of the biggest losers on this side of the Atlantic, where I was just about to open an account for self-employed losers like me, is still just a tiny bit...
