"Frog Applause reminds one of learning to read, in the sense that each word in the captions seems 'surprising' and new. Teresa's writing takes one back to that fresh state of mind (typical of, but of course not limited to, childhood) in which the brain, free of preconceptions, doesn't 'fill in' any blind spots along the way but rather wholly embraces the present moment as it unfolds. Every sentence is literally an imagination-expanding adventure." — Craig Conley, author of One-Letter Words: A Dictionary (HarperCollins)

Is eggnog and charred bodies some sort of mixed drink?

Sounds like Christmas during the Blitzkreig.

Moral: don’t invite statues to Christmas drinks.

Sounds like Diet Smith has brought a gallon of whipped cream to the Braces bonfire.

Every woman I’ve ever dated… ends up wanting to pour eggnog on my charred body.

Done. I was grey before I was pink, you dig?
My flesh under your nails.
While the band played into the night I watched drunks break bottles on each others’ heads, ka-grnchh! Taxis trawl and then flee, terrified. The doof-doof wagons are too deaf to stop. Lapwings mock from the safety of the beach. My flatmate falls asleep with TV still on, unused condom a testament to failed Friday.
Plastic, rubber, video-lubber.
If there is a breeze tomorrow I’ll try to hold my head up,
But every day it gets harder.
I am a voyeur of atrophy
and unbent trees.
Forgive me.

Are you bragging or complaining? ;-)

RayC: I kid you not. The most beautiful woman I’ve ever known tried to roast my onions with a kitchen blowtorch. I now keep a fire extinguisher beside my bed… and only date ugly women. Her name was Michaela, by the way. Steer clear of Michaelas, my brothers!

OMG!! What did you do to deserve that? Buy her a Thighmaster for her birthday?

You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

Mix single malt scotch and eggnog and drink enough of it and your body will feel charred in the morning.
