I have a desk.
I just checked out of the Hotel California and now they're telling me I can never leave. So, does that mean the rest of my stay is free? This seems like a bad business decision by them. Those steely knives can't be cheap.

I would do a Severance, but like severing everything else from the part of my brain that has to think about what to make for lunch.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

The greatest party trick the devil ever pulled was that one where you flip a full glass of water upside down and hold all the liquid in there with only a playing card.

I'm still waiting for the X Ray specs I ordered from a comic book in 1985.

My middle school gym class made it seem that I would be doing a lot more square dancing than I currently do.

What if this entire time, apples and oranges have been comparing us?

If I could harness the energy I put into avoiding doing anything productive, I think I could power a small city. Perhaps even an island nation. Forget nuclear fusion, this is the clean energy breakthrough we really need.

Well, I wrote one sentence this morning. That's good enough for the week.

One thing I was not prepared for when becoming an adult was how many pillows you accumulate.

I cannot get my car out of the garage because of all the snow, but like, I wasn't going anywhere anyway.

I wonder if any of the Oprah car people are still driving their Oprah car.

I just bought seated tickets for a concert at a mostly standing venue and I'm both extremely happy I won't have to put my dilapidated body through an entire show with no sitting breaks and also despondent that this is what I've become.

Fork or spoon is a much more fraught choice than I ever thought it to be.

It is a reminder of life's inconsistencies, that I hate the snow, but love the snow day.

I would love to be transplanted into a new optimized body a la John Scalzi's Old Man's War, but instead of fighting battles and whatever else, I would use it to just, like, get out of my chair without groaning.

I just yawned for what felt like a very long time. Curious, I looked up what the longest yawn ever was, and according to the Guinness Book (the real paper of record), it was five weeks long. Really puts things into perspective. What things? I'm not sure.

I'm no biologist, but for my money a bee in one's bonnet has a much better chance at overhearing pertinent information than a fly on the wall.

I wonder what it would feel like to have plans that you don't immediately want to cancel.

The human torch really has to be careful every time he farts.

Just once I'd like to say 'here's the thing' and then be able to follow it up with an actual thing.

If we truly are living in a video game, I really wish they'd put it on a much easier difficulty.

You're my Jonas brother from another Jonas mother.

Over a year ago I wrote a humorous horror short story called Ooh That Smell for a fantastic anthology called Dread Mondays, edited by @whisperhousepress.bsky.social. Well, today I just received my copy! Incredible to see something I wrote in an actual book for the first time.

I can't wait to watch the Mr Beast Wing, where 1000 contestants try to piece it all back together using toothpicks.

I really couldn't put it any better than this:

Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets
Ee da de da de
People on streets
