friends, i don't know if you love mitch hedberg, but i do. i love funny people but i don't always love standup. mitch hedberg is like the funniest guy at your college party doing standup. friends of mine back in seattle know him, and i used to hit them up to have me over to dinner when he was in town. because i am sure he would make me laugh so hard something came out my nose.

he's on tv right now, and he just said, "if you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit." see?

i had a small tantrum today after having to go to three totally shitty grocery stores to get supplies for tomorrow's cookie party. i believe i should be grateful for the apartment i have, full of love as it is, but i also can't wait to move. if i ever have the scratch.

but i'm liking the cookie party prep. i'm home alone, watching the mitch hedberg special, sometimes listening to jazz, baking gingerbread and chilling sugar cookie dough in the fridge. the monkey brough home fir boughs and we put them all over the living room. it smells foresty. in two days, i go home to where i'm from (where it actually is foresty) for some curling up and some regeneration. and someone loves me.

i remember wanting this much. and i was right to want it. it's nice.
