"I express to [Marilyn Manson] that being a nihilist is a form of idealism—you don't want to tear things down if you don't think things could be better somehow, and he agrees." –Jonathan Ames, The Double Life Is Twice as Good, which I'm in the middle of right now.
I'm not sure about that use of the word nihilist—I might say skeptic? [misanthrope? –ed.]—but the rest of it I identify with: in fact it's all over this blog. I spoke to Marilyn Manson on the phone once; he didn't sound the way I expected him to, but then I never really listened to his music. Jonathan Ames I like but do not love. His show so far has not particularly grabbed me, although I did like it when Zach Galifianakis said, "I read it in my diary."

Isn't O'Hurley's sort of a terrible name for a restaurant? Maybe I'm just 12 years old, but doesn't it call to mind a vomiting cartoon Irishman? "Welcome to O'Hurley's, BLAAAUUUUGGHHHH!"

Fuckin' Facebook. I just turned mine off altogether. People will think (have thought) I've defriended them, but that's just, like, collateral damage, man. I had to get outta there, at least for a while. FUCK Facebook. [Cf.*]

I'm going to start saying erst' girlfriend instead of ex-girlfriend—short for erstwhile.†
