I want a robot to put dishes in the dishwasher too!

I could have drawn her human side and her alien side sitting on her shoulders like a little angel and devil. But I’m part human, so I’m naturally too lazy to do something like that.

And speaking of people who are ALL alien and therefore NOT lazy… John C Ricker has an art event in Minneapolis going on RIGHT NOW (from May 18th to May 20th)! Take a look at his crazy awesome abstract art here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBULIR0sVJo and here: http://jcrpda.tumblr.com/

 Abby is what I wish I were. I really do suffer from flick-off deficiency.

I currently have a splint on my left middle finger, because I cut a chunk off the tip while making a cardboard box into a case to store art supplies.

I also have a tricked-out Doctor Who phone: police box skin on the outside, TARDIS interior screenshot as the wallpaper, even a TARDIS ringtone. My friends are soooo jealous. But just because it says “Police telephone, free for use of public,” that does not mean anyone else actually gets to use it. It is MINE.

And speaking of really cool stuff… my beloved John C Ricker has an art event coming up in Minneapolis from the 18th to the 20th! Take a look at his crazy awesome abstract art here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBULIR0sVJo and here: http://jcrpda.tumblr.com/

whenever I want to get laid, I just tell John 'Spock in Amok Time' and he knows EXACTLY what I mean

There’s so much that doesn’t make sense about “Darmok and Jalad”… I swear, anyone who tries to understand Star Trek’s explorations of language will go insane.

And speaking of insane stuff… my husband John C Ricker has an art event coming up in Minneapolis from the 18th to the 20th! Take a look at his crazy awesome abstract art here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBULIR0sVJo and here: http://jcrpda.tumblr.com/

except the ones who are perfect ladies

It may be just me, but I think “imaginary friends with imaginary benefits” is one of the funniest lines ever.

And speaking of imaginary friends with imaginary benefits… or rather, real husbands with real benefits… my own wonderful husband John C Ricker has an art event coming up in Minneapolis from the 18th to the 20th! Take a look at his crazy awesome abstract art here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBULIR0sVJo and here: http://jcrpda.tumblr.com/

this is why Abby has so few good experiences with trying to meet people

Porn is a menace to society, because it is degrading to tentacle monsters.

police box, phone booth, whatever

I think “Doctor Who” was the first work of science fiction to feature a time machine that resembled a phone booth. But interestingly, it was not the first to feature a time machine that looked bigger on the inside.

yes, this is the actual reason why time travel is impossible

It’s just that, from the perspective of a real person in the real world, changing the past seems “unnatural” and changing the future seems “natural.” The fact that the visitor from the future is doing an “unnatural” thing doesn’t matter, because that choice wasn’t made by a person we’re supposed to identify with.

 the 's' that looks like an 'f' was pronounced in a way that can't be pronounced today due to the devolution of the human tongue

I’d love to go back in time and find that “love” was pronounced “snarf” and “move” was pronounced “blarf” and “Shakespeare” was pronounced “gumbleflaps” and I can’t understand anyone unless they write down what they’re saying.

The Bong Strad's brother is the Song Strad

On her first try, Abby looked up the word “bong” and got “water pipe,” and looked under her bathroom sink for inspiration, and Norma was even less capable of understanding the resulting picture.

Or if he was my boss.

Maybe people are like, “ooh, awesome, a bonfire! let’s go roast marshmallows!”
