"Life is a banquet, and most poor sons-of-bitches are starving to death."
This week's Finn and Charlie are HITCHED. I think we all sometimes transfer a little prejudice toward the people who are like us, but more so. It doesn't make you a self-hating whatever, but it's also not really healthy.

Why Charlie hates to fly
Sorry for the late posting... that was ready yesterday, but I'm in New York on business and just forgot to do the posting until at night when I didn't have my computer with me anymore.
So without further ado: Why Charlie hates to fly.

Transfixed by the Inner Sound
A New Year's Day show, covering for Mary.
We went to Mila and Eli's last night to celebrate, and ended up pooping out early. I've been sick, and it makes me tired. Also, to be fair, Eli pooped out before I did. It kind of changed the dynamic. But to be sure, staying up late when you are tired is less appealing when you know you have to get up at 5am.
But here I am! And here's what I played:
