Reblogging Julia

Off to Walden Pond.

 A few bullets, quick and dirty, just like my martinis:

• “I really want to pull a Thoreau next week and retreat into a cabin in the woods somewhere.  A cabin with no cell, no internet, no tv.”   I think that we already know how that might turn out. 
• “I think this weekend I’m going to read history or economics or philosophy to get my mind functioning again.”  Is the new O Magazine out already?  Is there nothing that Oprah cannot do?
• See, again, I don’t think you have really thought about your target demographic. 
• Glorious photo but, and I mean this with all due respect, you appear carved like a pumpkin* and airbrushed within an inch of your life.  On the plus side, you have arms again, so, I guess, congratulations on your regeneration.  [*Ed. Note: This was not an original observation, and permission was obtained to use it as my own]
• Wouldn’t it be positively wild if you ran into your ex or his friends and family there?   That would be a totally unplanned coincidence, wouldn’t it?  God, Manhattan is such a small town. [Ed. Note:  Apparently, Our Lady of Introspection has reconsidered her desire to attend the Apes and Androids show]
• You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words?  You look like you are talking about yourself and he is obviously drinking.  You are drinking too, but of course, you don’t drink.  Almost never, in fact.
• I have a prediction on how many times you will plug this issue..  We’re at three and counting.  What is your guess, internets? 
• [Ed. Note: I read so you don’t have to, but the “article from someone who doesn’t like me?” Yeah, that author never says or even implies that she doesn’t like you. She just doesn’t buy into your theory. “Putting yourself out there” assumes that you can allow for the less than fawning feedback, yes?]

Finally, a word to angry divorced guy.  Whatever good intentions you might have had when you started to chronicle your disagreements with your ex-wife?   Pretty much lost now, as you come across as a guy more fixated on documenting the conflict, rather than resolving it.  

Don’t make me baugher you.
