I do not want this book to end. It is too brief and takes too long to read because each page is a page closer to the end so I set it aside and look askance at it from the next room and wonder why I’m not writing instead of looking askance at a good book and why I am not living that life and why I had to pick that book up in the first place and why I cannot put it down and then I’m...

Write one leaf about sushi.
In general, I do not like sushi.
In particular, I do not actually like sushi.
In essence, not actually fond of sushi.
Then again, sushi.

How many times can I nominate Porky’s before they finally add it to the registry?

There’s supposed to be a style sheet for Stylish that gets rid of that. Stylish works with Firefox and Chrome, for sure. I tried using the stylesheet alone on Safari, but failed.
Yeah. Well. I’m on Safari. And also? I shouldn’t have to use a damn plug-in to turn off the damn tumblr message hack.

Cocaine? Srsly. I take high doses of Vitamin E and it helps (haven’t had scripts in almost 2 years and I haven’t slept all fucking day either) but I’m a dude, so your results may vary. I can’t believe I just called myself a dude.
Dude.
Hmmm… I just might be willing to try your crazy vitamin E. After the cocaine, of course.
People! I...

Dear Cutlerish / Safe Dash / De-Animate
If Missing-e / Safe Dash had an option to block only animated gifs in the same way the regular Safe Dash blocks all the photos it would single-handedly make the internet worth visiting again.
Though of course just this option would probably make tumblr mad because nobody would ever visit tumblr without endless moronic gifs of kitties and movie clips (including dialog set in Impact!) so they would...

If you can get enough people to vote for Newt, then your daughter can get a barrista job and make espresso for *everyone*.
My adult friends with children have barrista jobs. I’d hate for her to take their jobs.
