I LOVE YOU, LAURIE STRODE
“You’re not seriously watching this movie again.�
It’s the same conversation every year. “Yes, I’m watching Halloween again. Halloween 2, actually. I’m so excited. They never show Halloween 2.�
He doesn’t care. “It’s 7:30 in the morning.�
(Sigh.)
My husband can’t stand horror movies. He thinks they’re ridiculous and not at all entertaining. I keep telling him they’re not real, they just feel real, unless you’re a sociopath or possibly Stephen King. N...

How To Be A Proper Trumper (A Handy Guide For MAGAs)
Identify as a republican. Worry every Muslim wants to blow you up and every Mexican will rape you. Talk shit about the Clintons. Tell lies.
Be afraid. Fear ISIS, unraked leaves and windmill cancer. Purposely misunderstand what social democrats have to offer. Call them Communists. Easily get away with it because half the people out there don’t really know the difference.
Shove the whole you-can-get-anywhere-with-enough-hard-work American dream thing down every kid’s throat starting at birth,...

THE NEW JAN BRADY
Sometimes when I start a new project I get the “I’m the new Jan Brady� thing stuck in my head. I’m not sure why. It never has anything to do with why Jan Brady said she was the new Jan Brady. Jan Brady was a middle sister who wanted her own identity other than just being a middle sister so she put a black wig on and demanded everyone acknowledge how different she was until her crazy aunt Imogene Coca came over and talked her out of it. That’s pretty much all I remember, although it’s worth menti...
