We blowed it up together
Star Wars explained by a 3-year-old — This cracks me up because it could easily be Julia. Although Julia would probably have a slightly different interpretation of the facts. There’s a reason we always ask her what colour the sky is in her world. Now I really want to ask her to tell me the story of Star Wars and videotape it; I think it could be very funny.

Kathy Griffin
After Chelsea Handler, Dave started in on me about Kathy Griffin. He said I would love her standup and I should definitely check her out. I waffled — nothing about her has ever grabbed me. But it turns out he was dead right. She is right up my alley and here’s why:
- She talks shit about other people.
- She’s a major friend of the gays.
- She swears a lot.
- She will say anything. Anything.
This YouTube user has posted a bunch of her specials and they’re all funny. Now you know I can’t stand reality TV, but I actually rented My Life on the D-List this weekend. The reality part mostly bores me but I enjoy the bits of standup and the captions they use to identify people (“Dennis: Kathy’s Main Gay”, “Some Hot-Shot’s Assistant”, “Mike: Live-in Gay Visionary”).

Yawn
Last night was my third in a row of almost no sleep. As we all know, I. Need. My. Sleep. So needless to say, I am getting crankier and crankier as the week goes on. It is too hot. My A/C cools the living room, but not the bedroom, but I can’t sleep in the living room because the unit is too loud. I have an itchy (and I suspect heat-related) rash on my legs. I have cramps. I just want to sleep through till about Sunday, okay? Please?
So I skipped teeball yesterday because I knew I would just end up stabbing someone in the neck, or screaming at my mother, or something else bad. Teeball is stressful enough on a good day.

More Chelsea Handler
She’s not just a funny lady. She’s also a hard-hitting investigative journalist who will stop at nothing to get to the truth!

For Kathy
I know she’ll appreciate this.
