Around Here

Around Here

People around here seem to like it when you wave and say "Good morning" to them. Earth — I'm still not quite used to it.

People shrink to fit the environment they choose to stay in.

Permafrost is vanishing, they say, so I decided to go out and grab me some, and store it in my freezer, in case I ever need it, to put a wooly mammoth into cold storage, and not be able to find permafrost anywhere any more. Maybe, maybe not, but you never really know which way things are going to go until after, so probably it's better to have permafrost ready to go in my freezer than to be totally out of luck with a couple of choice wooly mammoths out in the back yard and no way to deal with them.

Petunias — I never did like petunias. Disagreeable little shits. Every time I walk by some they start with the raspberries.

Photographs never lie, but sometimes they say bad things about you, like yesterday. (To be clear, it was about you, specifically, and was also hilarious.)

Pick a fight with a dish of ice cream and all you get is sticky fists. And then also, for being stupid, you have to go to bed without dessert.

Me? Never lie, never tell the truth. It's a philosophy.
