The perfect place to raise a family ...

Of genetically engineered killer bats.

Sorry, but that tag line for a new SciFi Channel movie just got me. I mean, I'm a person who went to see Species because the tag line was something like, "For ten thousand years, humans have been at the top of the food chain.

Everything changes."

David Sedaris's Me Talk Pretty One Day meets the "can it make Rivka laugh out loud in the gym, in front of people who look at her funny" test. But man, is his family fucked up. The essay on family pets was simultaneously hilarious and heart-wrenching, as so much love can be.

There, that might justify this entry somewhat.

david sedaris is the loveliest essayist ever! as i've said before, no one else could describe being trapped in a bathroom with a piece of turd the size of a burrito with such heart and humor. he puts words to emotions, thoughts, and experiences i never knew i had until i read his books and feel the tingling rush of recognition. i marvel, i laugh, and suddenly i feel less alone.
