Everyone has the Kanji tattoos, I think I should get one, too. Not one that says ‘love’ or ‘peace’ or ‘wisdom’, that would suck. I don’t need those words on my body. No, I want something like ‘Buddha Delight’ or ‘Angry Death of 1000 Shames’ or ‘Molar’. People will ask what my tattoo says and I’ll respond, “Fertile Soil”.
The perplexity on their faces would be worth it.
The problem is (and, lo, there is always a problem) that occasionally tattoo artists have been known to tell their customers that the Kanji symbol for ‘It burns when I pee” actually means ‘Love’. These poor chicks find out 2 years later at 1 am in a seedy bar in NYC as some guy walks by and asks why she has ‘It burns when I pee’ tattooed on her lower back. So, what I’m saying it that while it’s fun to tell someone that I have ‘Flesh Wound’ tattooed on my shoulder, it’s a pain to have to explain to someone who can read Kanji that it was intentional.
Person who can read Kanji: Do you know your back says ‘Capture the slippery bean curd’?
Me: Yeah
PWCRK: Must’ve sucked when you realized that, huh?
Me: No, it was intentional.
PWCRK: Riiiight, buddy, whatever you say.
So you can see my dilemma.

Dear Macia,
Daaaang girl, you musta robbed a den of snakes of all their sexiness cuz I ain’t NEVER seen such a slither on a woman to make me shiver like this.

PMS is burning, nay, simmering inside me. Oh Joy.
The best indicator of PMS for me besides the general crankiness (because, really, how can you discern the general crankiness from the PMS crankiness?) is that I want to pick fights. I really do. At any given time I have the special short list of people with whom I want to pick a fight with. Of course, i love fighting with these particular people because it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. It’s a quick and easy operation to get in, attack and jump out.
Sigh, I couldn’t fight with anyone today because Mark and Ethan told me not to. Stupid Mark and Ethan trying to keep me on the high road. Dumb levelheaded Mark and Ethan keeping me from saying something I might possibly regret (though I doubt I would regret it, I mean at least not until they looked up half the words in the dictionary).

Fine. Be that way, guys, see if I care.

This is a review of work done by my very good friend, Ethan. I’ve known Ethan for some years now, and I’ve watched him create a lot of incredible art in that time.
Is it wrong to feel pride and joy when your friends are given such accolades? I hope not.

Best fun ever???? Watching Alias with a good friend 2000 miles away!
Thanks Alex! Thank you.
