Looking at this poster for the X-Files II, I wonder where the light sources are. It’s impossible for these shadows to be cast with the light coming from the angle it is, and for there not to be shadows going the direction they should be going in.

Roommate: Yeah man, I mean I turned my back for one second, and the entire piece of pizza was gone. I’m convinced that she’s got tentacles coming out of her vagina, and that’s how she eats. [...]

“You mean….a thesaurus?” I say.

As late as my senior year in high school, I used to think of writing as something anyone could do, if only they gave it enough effort. Peer-editing piles of essays, I would ask myself why it was that people couldn’t see how poor they were at putting pen to paper and coherently transmitting something, [...]
