Loose cannon
Girl-E is having one of those weeks where every emotion or impulse she feels is magnified four times its raw state. And since she is a generally emotive person anyway, this makes for embarrassing circumstances. For example:
- The Today Show had a feature this morning on Sarah Jones, an amazing comic artist who is gathering celebrity fans by the hundreds, including Meryl Streep who liked her so much she threw all kinds of money into her one-woman show. It was a pleasant little profile piece, but Girl-E saw it as encompassing the entire concept of realized dreams, and she wept in rapture.
- Adopting the identity of Slackmaster this morning, she was still home when Live! came on. And she decided that Kelly Ripa is one of the funniest people in showbusiness today.
- She was reading the Weekly Dig on the train this morning, where one of the political editorials made reference to kissing babies only in order to see how they taste. She started laughing so hard that she almost knocked out the guy sitting next to her, and 45 minutes later she hasn't stopped, and we expect that every time she thinks about it today she's going to have to close her office door.
In other news, go right now to visit Excursus! for the best damn children's book about John Ashcroft ever. And please keep in mind that the shared credit is excessively generous.

Hey, Einstein didn't actually BUILD the bomb, did he? No, he just thought of it. But who gets the credit? M-hmm.

Girl-E needs to come hang out with me a bit - i'm moving from weeping to gut-busting laughter and back with an amazing kind of speed these days. i could use a partner in over-emotive crime.
