honestly I think this is messed up and wack as hell. I don’t support baby kangaroos in pajamas.


Readers will kindly remember that Taye Diggs’ real name is Scott Diggs, which changes everything.

SCOTT DIGGS is not a multitalented Broadway and film performer; Scott Diggs has bumper sticker cutouts of all his family members on the back of his car.


“Normally, we don’t go into upfront news stuff, but we wanted to bring your attention to Fresh Off The Boat, one of ABC’s midseason replacements that this writer hopes gets turned into an All Seasons Smash. Why? It’s the first sitcom in nearly two decades that focuses on an Asian-American family, and it looks hilarious. (Even if you’re not Asian! This author polled three white people in the office and they thought it was funny! Nguyen focus groups are very reliable.)

Based on the memoir of chef Eddie Huang,Fresh Off The Boat is set in the 1990′s (as “I Saw the Sign”) quickly establishes), and focuses on an Asian family who moves to very Caucasian Orlando to run a cowboy-themed steakhouse.”

I will watch anything that is set in a steakhouse. This pleases me. Also, this made me look up Sullivan & Son, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn it has not yet been cancelled.


God, I don’t know; talk about it if you must but don’t ask me to get involved.


I saw Neighbors again last night.


If you are interested in ongoing conversations about diversity in Canadian publishing (and it would frankly amaze me if you were not), consider following @Leonicka. She’s talking a lot about design and book covers at the moment and it is terrific.


It’s so hot out today. I just took a shower to cool down, but I don’t have a shower so much as I have a water cubicle (it’s a very old building; I don’t have any windows to the outside world, just windows into a hallway and it’s very depressing) and I couldn’t get the water very cool, so I don’t think it helped much. Let us remember that the Simpsons have a clip appropriate for all emotions.

Cayman Islands Bank Manager: [chuckles] I’m sorry, I can’t disclose any information about that customer’s secret, illegal account.

[hangs up]

Oh, crap. I shouldn’t have said he was a customer… Oh, crap. I shouldn’t have said it was a secret… Oh, crap! I certainly shouldn’t have said it was illegal!

[sits back, fanning himself]

Ah, it’s too hot today.

I’ll admit it. I bought the damn shoes. Wore ’em too, motherfuckers. Not to the store, obviously. Still, though.


Brunch is garbage.


That is some truly big sperm:

“They are astoundingly large. The coiled, now-petrified sperm are hard to measure, but based on the proportions of similar species alive today, the scientists estimate these sperm may be 1.3 millimeters long, slightly longer than the creatures themselves.”


Nicole already read the new Zodiac Killer book; she thinks he did it.
