I thought the threesome could use a little drinking game to dispel any awkward moments. My biggest worry: what will everyone wear?
Game on:

We've moved. My hours have been dedicated to packing boxes, inhaling solvents and moving stickers and little plastic things from one house to another. Andy has been on Maui in a trial for seven weeks now. I swear there's...
So the English University of Bath did a study and found that Barbie abuse is common among girls between 7 and 11. My daughter (4) went through a period of sacrificing babies, but it was short-lived and she hasn't mutilated Barbies yet.

A Drinking Game for the White House Beer Summit
I thought the threesome could use a little drinking game to dispel any awkward moments. My biggest worry: what will everyone wear?
Game on:
1. Every time Gates and Obama reference something Crowley doesn't understand Crowley has to drink then take a lap around the picnic table in handcuffs.
2. Every time Gates says something Crowley interprets as arrogant Gates has to drink then watch an episode of NYC Prep.

10 Lame Claims to Fame
10 Lame Claims to Fame
Twitter just wasn't the right medium for my numerous claims.
1. Went to McVie's house (of Fleetwood Mac.) He had my book and thought it impressive that I wrote one. I said, "Yeah, the whole band thing you did was impressive, too."
2. Met Tom Selleck at Outrigger Canoe Club. He knew my mom so I stood there while they exchanged pleasantries. I was 16 at the time, on acid and tripping balls. Kept staring at his mustache while the Magnum P.I song went through my head.

Kappa Kappa Gammas Take Me To Lunch!
Thanks, Kappas!
Some fine ladies from Kappa Kappa Gamma book club took me to lunch yesterday. I love going to book clubs--the fact that you're not up at a podium--you're sitting amongst people slurping on egg drop soup and such--makes people ask normal questions. When you're at a reading they typically ask questions to make them sound good, make you uncomfortable, or embarrass the shit out of you. So lunch was intimate and casual, relaxed. One woman, when discussing the relationship in The Desce… Continue
