I’m not usually into musical ringtones, but when all-time-favorite “Trains Across the Sea” by the Silver Jews shuffled up on my iDevice this morning, I realized that maybe I could use the opening lines as a telephonic talisman against further fuckin beatins. How could any shitty news come to me via the phone? “Troubles? No troubles—on the line.” There. Done.

Oh-That Guy: Welcome... →
oh-thatguy:
The inspiration for Oh-That Guy was not an ex-boyfriend, current boss, meddlesome in-law, shirtless pool boy, or erratic reality TV star. In fact, the original That Guy is a complete stranger. Even though I see him (all too) frequently, I have never exchanged words with him, or even shared a…
