... Mrs. Clark lived in the apartment in near solitude, amid a profusion of dollhouses and their occupants. She ate austere lunches of crackers and sardines and watched television, most avidly “The Flintstones.” A housekeeper kept the dolls’ dresses impeccably ironed.
More here. Lots more.

The Wisdom of Forrest Gimp

I’m grateful to be alive so many years after diagnosis,

"If I were in this condition at any point before a few cosmological instants ago, I would be as isolated as a hermit. I would be trapped inside my head. Because of the rush of human knowledge, because of the digital revolution, I have a voice and I do not need to scream."

Just Say Noa

The Bloggess is aptly titled, for she is a goddess among bloggers. So when she posted this endorsement, I was quick to check it out:
My deliriously irreverent friend, Noa, supports my xanax addiction and has taught me everything I know about creative profanity. I heartily recommend. Go read her front page you will be instantly hooked and/or terribly offended. Either way, you’re entertained.
This is a great place to start. But empty your bladder first.

[O]nce the turkey vulture has emptied out the contents of its vile gut, it waddles its fat ass away while the predator snarfs down the big steaming pile of puke. Good job, turkey vulture; crisis averted. This is why you have no friends.

Northern Exposure

I was recently turned on to Scott Free, a podcast by Scott Thompson, one of the Kids in the Hall. It's wacky, zany, unpredictable. A bawdy half-hour visit with your best gays. Your best Canadian gays.

From a friend who recently flew to Memphis:
The woman in front of me had her 'service dog' with her. It was a poodle. It wore a pink 'Service Dog' lambskin jumper and the 'Service Dog' was bedazzled on with crystals.
