“Dear Internet” by Tina Fey

From PerezHilton.com/Posted by jerkstore on Wednesday, 1/21/2009, 11:21 P.M.

“In my opinion Tina Fey completely ruined SNL. The only reason she’s celebrated is because she’s a woman and an outspoken liberal. She has not a single funny bone in her body.”

“Dear jerkstore,

Huzzah for the Truth Teller! Women in this country have been over-celebrated for too long. Just last night there was a story on my local news about a “missing girl,” and they must have dedicated seven or eight minutes to “where she was last seen” and “how she might have been abducted by a close family friend,” and I thought, “What is this, the News for Chicks?” Then there was some story about Hillary Clinton flying to some country because she’s secretary of state. Why do we keep talking about these dumdums? We are a society that constantly celebrates no one but women and it must stop! I want to hear what the men of the world have been up to. What fun new guns have they invented? What are they raping these days? What’s Michael Bay’s next film going to be?

When I first set out to ruin SNL, I didn’t think anyone would notice, but I persevered because—like you trying to do a nine-piece jigsaw puzzle—it was a labor of love.

I’m not one to toot my own horn, but I feel safe with you, jerkstore, so I’ll say it. Everything you ever hated on SNL was by me, and anything you ever liked was by someone else who did it against my will.

Sincerely,

Tina Fey

P.S. You know who does have a funny bone in her body? Your mom every night for a dollar.”

I love you tina fey.

Jai Ho playing as I finish the last quarter mile of my 5k this morning and then sliding into our driveway in my tennis shoes on black ice right as the final notes play (and not falling over!) was pretty spectacular, I must say.

If only every wintery (4 degrees F!) day was as beautiful as today is, and if only every playlist was as perfect, I may be a much thinner woman.

Whatever. I’m so into you, January 2nd.

Sun, 16 Dec 2012 15:26:53 -0500

i just made 7 popovers (thats all the batter that I had enough to fill) and ate 3 of them with raspberry jam, butter, and honey and now I am looking at the rest of them thinking its just wasteful to let them get cool because clearly they arent as good cold as they are warm, and Jon wont be home for a while to eat them.

baking makes me feel better. especially on dreary sundays. only 4 days until I am home with my family. I cant wait.

I actually cant stop crying. This doesn’t happen to me very often. I like to think I am empathetic but usually not personally affected by things like this. killing sprees, both here and everywhere else. I grieve but not personally, just for the grieving.

But I just cant wrap my mind around it.

Gun control? How is that even a question.

I am just so angry. and sorry. I am so so sorry.

I dont think there is anything else to say. There isn’t anything else to say. I just cant get there today. I just cannot get past the weight on my chest and feeling as though I may be sick. Not because I am surprised, but because I am not. Because this is normal, now. And because it had to take 20 children dying for it to become more than just another awful news story to all of us.

How do we change it?

-Its 9 am which means it is the time of morning where I sit and drink coffee and look at the people at the gym that is 20 ft outside my side-door and consider going over to hang out with them and work on my fitness.

-then instead I look up recipe’s for delicious food that I want to try and make, like sticky toffee pancakes or buttermilk biscuits.

-I had an interview this morning for a job that would officially start me down my career path of choice - archiving - it’s between me and another person and I am obstinately sure that there is no way anyone would choose anyone other then me. Setting myself up for heartbreak, but whatever.

-going home on sunday to see the family and my niece and I am very excited.

-thanksgiving is this week and I am even more excited that christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, etc.

-This week I have made a batch of cupcakes, three loaves of bread, thick fudge frosting, and a batch of cookies. All I’m saying is that there is no more flour left in the house, and Im pretty sure all of Jon’s coworkers love me now.

- also jon and I signed papers last week that say we are officially domestic partners…so that is cool, not least because I get healthcare and to visit him in the hospital outside of visiting hours, but also because I’m crazy in love y’all.

-Lana del ray is ruling my life. still. after all these months. whatever, off to the races on repeat never hurt anyone (except my neighbors, maybe.)

today I had a phone interview that went well, watched music videos, ran 4 miles, ate half a bag of chocolate chips and some orzo with roasted garlic, walked the dog through the nice park with all the littles playing in the leaves, discovered my favorite apple (jazz apples, who knew?) and now i’m waiting for a phone call from the lead archivist at pixar. What a good, good day.

cuties and 70% cacao chocolate chips. all. damn. day.

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 22:25:09 -0400

ugh. my anxiety level this election season is insane. I am so terrified by the entire process - clearly by the possibility of the Romney/Ryan ticket actually happening, but also by things like knowing that Jill Stein would be my ideal president, but knowing also that I cant vote for her, because if I do I will be splitting any residual votes for Obama and then Romney WILL win. And then, as I think about that, I consider how FUCKED UP that is and how awful a two party system is and that I am playing exactly into their hands because it is still better then the idea of two rich snarky men owning my ovaries and changing the lives of people who have never owned themselves (by law) to begin with and its all very very frustrating.

so now I just lay here at night allowing my chest and throat to knot itself up into oblivion and worrying that we are just heading down this awful slippery slope (we are) and that there is nothing I can do to save the people I love and not just the people I love but also everyone in the country and in the world and everywhere.

so. here i am.

amillionlittlefireflies:

sometimes a little facetime with one of the seesters who is far away helps the coughing hurt a little less.

especially when you talk about adventures. and cookies with air. and alias on netflix. and silly stuff.

now if only we could get the other seesters and the brother on too.

for another day i guess. but for now, i leave you with this lovely picture of Lily with hand goggles. enjoy.

Hand goggles- go to FaceTime move. Little sister is sick, womp womp
