Too Soon

I know we at the ol’ raincoaster blog have oft (and justly, perhaps) been accused of tastelessness, particularly around the subject of profound loss. To that we plead guilty, but we are not entirely without hearts (not even counting the ones in the freezer). If you bleed us, are we not pricks?

We are bloggers.

But we have weaknesses, we have feelings, we have tender moments, and not just because of the sunburn. There are some things about which we do not joke.

Fairies.

Banksy.

Gin.

Operation Global Media Domination.

And Pluto.

pluto too soon

Too soon, man. Just too soon.

And after awhile in the Internet Famous game, I decided to get a real life.

Boy, was I in for a rude surprise.

Story of my Life

Notice how the lives are getting smaller and smaller as time goes on? Eventually, I will become a pixel.

But it will be a pixel in The New Yorker!
