– There is a mini-marathon on, and as I catch the end of a repeat episode, I have to know how could I have wasted so much of my life - seven seasons and two feature films worth, watching Sex and the City?
a running list of my mother's colloquialisms...
Oh and don’t you just know it, she was as mad as a wet hen.

That tumblr is lightjams. I love it, but it is just for fiction writing. This is for posting about comedy projects and other bullsh. Also, I needed a website that didn’t use a children’s television character as an avatar….

Guy: Oh my god she is so stupid.
