Productivity was like at a C- minus level today. I didn’t go to the gym. I ate Ritz crackers and peanut butter for lunch, and probably will order pizza for dinner. I’m full of self-hatred at the moment. So, what’s a girl to do? She points to people more despicable than herself! Yeah!
I follow Nicole Cliff on twitter. I have no idea who this person is, but she tweets to lots of random crazy shit on the Internet. Today, she pointed me to a guy who finds out that his girl friend has been using …. well, you read it…. and here’s another tweet about with relationship question on Reddit.
This is what I did with my day.
There’s this story about Donald Trump snorting adderall.
I could have left the house and had lunch with friends, but nooooooo. I stayed in to WRITE!
But I really read articles about Ted Cruz’s beard.

Nicole Cliffe was one of the founders of The Toast, which was brilliant.

“There’s this story about Donald Trump snorting adderall.”
I read that and I was thinking, “I wish!”
I was supposed to work today (editing) and nothing much happened.

I could be actually interested to hear the variety of covers, see https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-most-wtf-covers-of-baby-its-cold-outside-everyones-favorite-date-rape-holiday-classic but mostly I guess that WAKY is doing a thumb in the eye for the correctness scolds.
