“Diary of Indignities” -by Patrick Hughes

Awesome news: Patrick Hughes (funny man and bane of the existence of Ren Faire enthusiasts everywhere) has come out with a book. It’s just all so exciting and cool. He certainly deserves it. Amazing writer, that man. I was reading something from his archives once – about a camping trip (with his mom’s friends? Is that possible?) – and I was in public as I was reading it, and began to laugh so hard that my face literally froze into a mask that was almost like a grimace. What I’m trying to say is that my laugh in that moment was so deeply intense that it had become silent as well as STATIC. It was almost awful, actually. I looked forward to the laughter ending. I wanted my FACE back, thankyouverymuch.

Here’s one of my favorites.

But then there’s this

Seriously. That is just the tip of the iceberg.

Anyone who can make me laugh so hard that I petrify into a grimacing static statue IN PUBLIC is okay by me.

But, too, there are posts like this one.

Whatever. Here’s the deal. The guy can WRITE, okay?

I’m also kinda psyched cause he sent me my very own signed copy of his book. It arrived yesterday and I tore it open like a maniac.

Haven’t read it yet – but I can’t wait.
