Top Seven Actors Who Were Briefly Awesome
“Lohan is the only one on this list that took herself out of the equation. She was awesome in Mean Girls, but her habit of showing up three days and coked up late quickly turned her from bankable into tabloid fodder. She’s now in jail, which may be the safest place for her. Certainly safer than making a sequel to I Know Who Killed Me.”
Sonnet, by C. B. Trail
Note from 2022 Rachel: For some reason this makes me remember how old I felt, the summer before law school. I was not.
–
This is for the afternoon we lay in the leaves
After it had been winter for half a year,
And I kissed you and unbuttoned your jeans
And touched you and made you smile, my dear.
And of all the good things that love means,
One of them is to touch you there
And make you smile, among the leaves,
And feel your wetness and your sweet short hair,
And kiss your breasts and put my tongue
Into the delirium between your soft pale thighs,
Because the winter has been much too long
And soon will come again, when this love dies.
I will hear sermons preached, and some of them be true,
But I will not regret that afternoon with you.
How I Spent My Summer Vacation
I haven’t posted anything in a while, because I haven’t been doing anything. It’s summer vacation madness over here, which, due to my lack of hours at work, mostly means I am lying around and marathoning TV shows. I have devoured 30 Rock, The Sarah Silverman Program, Family Guy,Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, and am now moving on to Party Down, Deadwood, and Mad Men. All while intermittently watching fansubbed episodes of Sailor Moon and ordering hilarious T-Shirts off the internet.
Such is my life, potentially my last real summer vacation before I head off to law school. I picture my summers during law school as hellish frenzies of part-time work at menial jobs, crying over the fact that I am cripplingly poor, and backpacking through Europe. So I have taken this opportunity to really treat this summer as if it were my high school dream vacation - lazing around in sweat pants watching too much TV, hanging out with friends until 4am, OD’ing on the internet, and playing video games.
“That’s right, ladies: when a man doesn’t call you after a date, it’s probably because he can’t deal with how intense his feelings for you are. It’s all detailed in my new dating advice book, He’s Just Into You So Very, Very Much That He Doesn’t Know How To Express It. These sorts of plot developments explain why Mary Worth isn’t more widely read: it’s too raw, too real.”

Management Speak: “Take More Initiative”
Translation: Do other people’s jobs.
Without any training.
Or authority.
And don’t step on any toes.
Also read minds to know whose job you need to usurp.
Don’t worry who gets the credit.
You’ll be blamed.
