the next trend: donuts the size of your hand
I dreamed I ordered up a dozen deep-fried donut goodness, some of which were shaped like seahorses, but they were all about hand-sized. I have girlish hands that are rather small.

So Osama’s dead and people are dancing in the streets. I’m relieved he’s dead but disgusted that so many people are acting like giddy barbarians about it. Thoughts?
Sorry, asshole. You don’t get to be both relieved and disgusted. This is one of those times where you can’t have it both ways.
