We've all learned something today.
- [redacted]: I've mostly cleaned up my desk area, but I still can't figure out where all these ants are coming from.
- Me: ...could it be from all the half-empty cans of soda you leave lying around for weeks?
- [redacted]: ...That attracts ants?!
themesong 10/20: Not to be Shared
There are songs that speak to secret parts of us, that we can’t play for anyone because we think they’ll read too far into it and somehow divine all of our secrets.
This is not that song; at least, this is not that song for me. But this is a song about having things that you don’t share. This is the best song I know about the cold fierce miserable joy of being alone. About not sharing yourself, about cutting yourself off from the highs to seal yourself away from the lows. About being selfishly selfish, romantically distant. About buying into all sorts of self-pitying hype. About pretending you’re a windswept rock off the Scottish coast.
And a rock feels no pain. And an island never cries.

I ran into Andrew Bell (Creatures In My Head, Dead Zebra, those awesome Android minis) at San Diego Comic-Con the week before my wedding. He was nice enough to turn two of the blank vinyl Android toys into marvelous cake toppers for us.
Also, I totally got married to the best lady ever. The cake toppers were kinda just the toppers on the cake.
