Up yours, Zoidberg! Up wherever your species traditionally crams things!

Yesterday, I found out my cousin is getting divorced in a extremely complicated situation that basically involves a transgender murder plot, and it put my own life's issues in sudden perspective. Suddenly, being anxious over playoff hockey seemed a very slight burden to bear, in the grand scheme of things

Oh my god, that's terrifying re: someone still in the last stall. What if they had turned into a zombie? What if you had stepped into dark Silent Hill? ...sorry, that probably wasn't helpful.

But like, can you imagine being that person? I am leaning towards a really long shit getting even longer because the lights turned off before they finished and they had to sit there EVEN LONGER, because they couldn't tell if they'd properly wiped or not. Who knows how long they had sat there, waiting for someone to come in and rescue them from their bathroom purgatory. And then, once saved, had to QUICKLY START WIPING before the lights went out again.

I suspect I am overthinking this.

Whoo, music post! I am refusing to download Cottoneyed Joe on principle. Part of it is that I was forced to dance to it (or at least a version of that song) in high school and that was enough. I am happy to put Flower back in my music collection - I'd lost it at some point, and it is a really good song. And I like the Modest Mouse song a lot. I should...

...WELL, THANKS, SQUEEM, NOW I AM CONSTANTLY GOING TO BE AFRAID MY WORKPLACE HAS TURNED INTO SILENT HILL. Tell you one thing, I'm sure as hell not reaching into the toilet.

I suspect they were just taking a nap. They were in the big handicapped stall; that's where I'd do it. Not that I'd nap that way, like a goddamn savage. (I nap on the floor under my desk.)

Huzzah! COTTON-EYED JOE WILL COME FOR YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. I don't really mind Awolnation, it was just over-exposure. It felt like for a while I couldn't turn on the radio without them being played, but such is life. I hope you enjoy them! (...do check out the Rob Zombie. It will amuse you, I swear, and then you will end up singing the chorus to yourself under your breath all the time and people will look at you funny.)

I ... hope your cousin gets out of that situation okay. Wow.

My friend lived in Japan for some time. On a trip to the Nightingale Floor (which ninjas could magically cross in silence), she asked the tour guide where she could learn to be a ninja.

The tour guide looked at her with furious seriousness and said, 'There are no ninjas in Japan.'

So, of course, now we know that there are ninjas in Japan, a deadly secret, and that tour guide was in on it.

My jaw dropped when I first started hearing details, and kept on dropping. It is a bizarre tale, and I hope it gets resolved well and painlessly enough that I could someday tell the story without feeling kind of guilty about it.

That is an AMAZING ninja tale!
