Do Not Enter The Tea Room

Around Christmas 1995 a friend came to visit me in my newly married, presumably happy, life in Michigan. We went to a museum where we saw an exhibit of a Japanese tea room. Outside the display was an attempt to describe this exhibit. It started with something like: “Within the tea room, one feels loneliness which penetrates into the marrow of one’s bones...” and ended with the caution “Please do not enter the tea room”. I laughed out loud. If you don’t get it, you probably should leave.

Jolly

I'm spending money. I feel so fucking christmasy. I think providing I don't need to go near a mall, I should be ok.

Here's a sample from my online mall:

Store 1: Patriotic presents
Bumper stickers, t-shirts, thongs, posters, mugs, magnets, etc. from the Whitehouse Officious Gift Shop at Whitehouse.org

Store 2: from Archie McPhee
It's as if these people can see right into my soul.

Holy Fucking Mother of God.

Friday, I had the smoking baby IN my online shopping cart at Archie McPhee - for you.

Then I deleted it, thinking, "How much silly crap does she need from me anyway? I need to go check the list she sent and stop being a doofus."

Next time I'm so going with my gut instinct.
