Quote

I keep my eyes on the sea, waiting to be rocketed into it on a wave of fire. I'll be ready for it to happen and that way it won't happen. It's a burden, being able to control situations with my hyper-vigilance, but its my lot in life.

Tina Fey
Image
Twitter seems like a busman's holiday: just more writing. I have no plans to do it. I'll just stick with my 24/7 webcam. I'm old-fashioned that way.
Tina Fey

You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.

I really love cursing a lot. But as I get older, I realize it's a little unseemly for women of a certain age.
