    Amy Poehler was new to SNL and we were all crowded into the seventeenth-floor writers’ room, waiting for the Wednesday read-through to start. There were always a lot of noisy “comedy bits” going on in that room. Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can’t remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and “unladylike.”

    Jimmy Fallon, who was arguably the star of the show at the time, turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said: “Stop that! It’s not cute! I don’t like it.”

    Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. “I don’t fucking care if you like it.” Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit …

    I’m not going to study for Biophysics. Don’t care.

    Instead, I’m going to blow bubbles.

    Yeah, bubbles.

    It feels these days like the different parts of my life are moving very quickly in opposing directions on parallel circular tracks, and sometimes they meet at the top and other times at the bottom, and that’s okay. But a human being only has a finite amount of brain space, and I’m using mine on Hillary Clinton and which pedal in a car makes it stop, and I forget, sometimes, about that basic combination that is myself and a body of water.

    I watched the sunrise over one lake this morning. I watched the sunset over another. And whatever it is about water, for me, that makes everything kind of calm down, get quiet and smooth and better, it’s simple, the way a cat will stop whatever it’s doing to lay down in a patch of sunlight, without any sense of strategy or politics or moving towards a fantasy 2kfuture

    I’m not ever going to be a person who’s not connected to the rest of the world at as many touch points as possible, who moves into a cabin without a phone line or running water, but for a second tonight, laying quietly on a dock and dragging my fingertips along the surface of the lake, I understood that choice. It’s just nature putting a mammal into a basic habitat. It’s unassuming. It’s humbling. I get that.

    I’m getting fonder of my haircut. It bugged me at first.

    DO I DARE?

    So the Starbucks on Vandy’s campus does something really friendly that the one at Pitt never does: they ask for your name to put on your order.  And every time I go, they always ask for clarification about how to spell my name, which is actually really sweet of them.  So now I’m really heavily weighing the option of seeing how far I can push it.  I just want to order my medium mocha frappuccino with a straight face and say that my name is, “Butt Munkey. That’s “monkey” with a ‘u’.”
