Midnight premiere

 

I am already so annoyed by this.

Beating you over the head with it

 

I'm sorry to bludgeon you with this. (I'm working on using up old drafts).

For the record

 

So if somebody wants to go ahead and jot that down...

A reasonable creature

 

Manufacturing demand for headwear

 

 

"And don't get us started on makers and sellers of wigs!"

The aftermath

 

Even with help, it's a challenge every year.

The greatest gift of all is living well

 

"And I made sure it was during times when you had a good alibi, so don't worry about any heat coming your way."

And to all a good night

 

Anteriority

 

There's no rule that says these have to make sense.

Now I'm ready

 

Oh, ow

 

"What? No. What? Help me."

(My real-life dominant hand's thumb did in fact mishappen upon some broken glass this morning. This took an obnoxious amount of time to make today.)

Sonic sandpaper

 

Or any other Fishmas music, for that matter.

Honest self-assessment

 

You should hear me play the banjo.

I thought I was ready

 

Snake standard time

 

It's more of a fashion accessory than anything.

Look it up!

 

Ontological support

 

"...How did you get this number?"

Notes between self

 

My notes to self haven't really helped me get organized, but they've become increasingly conversational and adversarial.

Cnidopugilism

 

A rudimentary nervous system is not necessarily a disadvantage.

I just think it would be neat

 

One thing

 

Don't get my hopes up like that.

In the telephonic weeds

 

These spam calls are growing out of control.

Considered jocular

 

Many people enjoy jokes.

Drastic extraction

 

It's still in there.

Lip-smacking

 

It certainly can be off-putting.

The worst

 

Maybe try paying attention to the world around you? Works for me.

Location and time

 

It gets hard to keep track of when everything's always farther away.

And also with you

 

"So...do you have anything planned?"

—"Yeah, I'm going to respond to everyone the same way today."

Action and inaction

 

Companionable silences. Long sits on the porch. That kind of thing.

Functionally indistinguishable

 

Not subjectively, at least in my experience, but the effect has still been useful to me before.

Braggability

 

Oh no! I forgot to have impressive accomplishments!

Flat denial

 

It's a blanket statement.

Floating along

Interests and preferences

 

But I am no less an individual for it.

Notoriously harsh reviews

 

The point

 

This one is brought to you by me wanting pizza.

Gratesgiving

 

For the record, I also hate the phrase "attitude of gratitude". But I'll use any ammunition in the war against 'thankfulness'.

A pail imitation

 

There's no need to be insulting about it.

(Yes, 'bucket' and 'pail' are synonymous outside idiomatic usage, but I'd be even lower on ideas if I let reality get in the way.)

Plenty of opportunities

 

It's better to take your time with these things.

Back to the beginning

Featherless Unstriped Blobling

 

And that's where you come in! With your generous donations, our researchers will finally be able to fabricate answers to the many questions science still has about these fascinating creatures.

Priorities

 

Planning failure

 

I don't know what it means either. I just thought we were playing a game where we say nonsense at each other.

RSVP

 

I think it's going to be a nice party.

The deal

 

Want to collect things but unsure where to start? Try something no one else wants!

Whoops

 To be honest, I'd forgotten all about it until this very moment.

Excellence in failure

 

"In this family, we put effort into our failures!"

Tension

 

Can you feel it too?

Generalized

 

Oh.

Oh no.

No logical consistency, please

 

"Everything I do is disappointing, because I am a disappointment!"
