Jed's pieces on depression are plain terrific. Don't know what's it actually like never having had it, but he certainly seems to have a pretty specific outlook on it. It's very poignant and macabre and the bleak pseudo-real worlds in these pieces are really something.

Oh noble brogy. Overflowing with meaty wisdom and secret sauce.

Brilliant, had me laughing with the second line.

New piece: http://www.somethingawful.com/news/lisa-dare-drugs/

"I once asked McDonalds' lunar mascot Mac Tonight for some drugs, but he said that contrary to rumors he has nothing to do with addiction. Leaving the restaurant I passed people gorging themselves with fast food, their faces edged in green light from a utility truck replacing a transformer McDonald's had blown overusing its defibrillator. I met a blind man who said that after he passes out in an MSG coma his dog drags him home, although sometimes he wishes the dog would drag him somewhere else, somewhere new where he could start over."

drat good lines. Funny and poignant all at once.

That drug one is like some kind of bizarre nightmare and also a really good read.

Notes from the Opposite Side of the Room My Coworkers Are On

Doesn't seem to be anything particularly new stylistically but this line:

Some days I feel like they exist only to torture me. These are the better days, since it at least feels like we have a relationship.

is a massive downer.

This one also reads to me like something Woody Allen would've written in one of his books:

It's one of those things for me where it's just a tad too close to reality to be hilarious. Despite being absolutely surreal.

I love it. I worked at a pharmacy for 5 years, I can confirm everything that had to do with the workers. Except we tended to hate people.

You didn't get the best quote:

quote:

When I'm driving, I often worry about how my car looks through the Sartre-esque Gaze of the driver behind me. One time I got so worried that I turned on cruise control and climbed out the window to inspect my ride's appearance. This inadvertently began the fad called ghostriding, which has gone on to claim several lives. Now when I drive my car I'm literally ghostriding with the vengeful spirits of the people I've killed. I try to exorcise them by playing Gregorian chants on my stereo, but they just laugh at my puny 8-inch subwoofer, which doesn't do the bass voices justice.
