Hot Squirrels

JD post-my stand-up set tonight:

"There's really only one word to describe that set, and that's 'adorable.' That set was like...a mix of the cutest squirrel you've ever seen, and the first teacher you ever thought was hot."

You guys, I'm so tired...I keep staying up way too late and having to still get up at 6. Case in point...tomorrow I have to be at a high school at 7:30 AM to judge a speech and debate tournament...I hate everything! Just kidding. I love everything--it's because I love everything too much that I've been killing myself sleepwise. So...I kinda do hate everything...
