Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things—Jenny Lawson

After reading the horror show that is ‘A Simple Favor’ I needed a HUGE laugh and a promise of no incest.  Enter Jenny Lawson.  I had read one of her other books so I knew what I was getting into. The issue I had with this one is simple: I listened to it on audiobookContinue reading “Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things—Jenny Lawson”

Let’s Pretend This Never Happened–Jenny Lawson

My friend who normally suggests incredibly upsetting (cough cough World War 2) books to me suggested this.  Now, this has taxidermy on the front so you can imagine my dismay and skepticism at what I was about to walk into.  But blindly walk into it I did and I was surprised as fuck and happilyContinue reading “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened–Jenny Lawson”

The Long Hard Road Out of Hell–Marilyn Manson

“What the fuck did I get myself into?” This is the thought that came up the most when I read this book.  Look, I know who Marilyn Manson is.

KMF: My Airplane Mask.

Lately something has been happening to me that I feel I should talk about since I’ve been refusing to acknowledge it. For the last couple of months I have been in an odd state of depression. I say ‘odd state’ because I don’t think I need to be medicated, it’s not that bad, I considerContinue reading “KMF: My Airplane Mask.”

KMF–February Reboot

In the eternal words of Matthew McConaughey: All right, all right, all right! This Saturday is my reboot. My personal New Years because I rang in the New Year half dead on the dining room table while my family forced me to play the Pride and Prejudice board game I got for my mom forContinue reading “KMF–February Reboot”
