Don’t You Mess Around With Me

December 20, 2009

“Your oldest brother is married now, right?” Those seven words were the start of a conversation I never imagined I would have: one that involved a nearly 30 year old woman hitting on me. “I used to have this life plan, see, and it’s not gone at all like I thought it would, you know? [...]

The Trouble With Glee

November 30, 2009

Like any good queen, I’ve been keeping up fairly religiously with Glee. I mostly enjoy it, despite never buying into that whole ‘high school is the best time of your life’ bullshit (not that the show does, either; I’ve just had too many conversations with people who think back to high school with decidedly too [...]

Bad, Bessie! Bad, Bad Bessie!

November 11, 2009

Some people would take one look at today, see the partly cloudy seventy-five degree weather outside, and jump for joy at the opportunity to spend the day outside because they have the entire day off. I am not such a person, but not for the reasons you might think. You see, I really am that [...]

Have a Little Vanity

November 9, 2009

Please forgive the poor quality of the pictures. I took them with my phone camera because, well, I was kind of too lazy to use my regular camera. Plus I didn’t exactly plan this, and the only reason I had taken the pictures was to have a visual reference when I was shopping. I’ve never [...]

In other words, it was me at my fiercest. And oh, what a time it was, as clearly evidenced here by this glamorous shot [...]

Alarming

October 16, 2009

Beep-beep, beep-beep, beep-beep. I can only assume that that’s the sound of an unplanned almost one-month hiatus on this website. The amount of shit flowing through my brain1 has been staggering, really, and I’ve had every reason to want to write every day. Only I’ve been devoid of any energy to really do so, and [...]

The Great Debate

September 20, 2009

My friend Dusty and I went to the local animal shelter the other day. It all started with a rousing debate of “Which Are Cooler: Rats or Bunnies”; afterward, we decided we needed to go see us some bunnies. They were cute and all, but they it’s not like they were social, smart, and trainable. [...]

Contains: Amazingness, Awesomeness, and Chocolate

September 8, 2009

We all know, on one level or other, that sometimes we buy really, really disgusting things at the grocery store. We like to pretend like it’s not so bad, though, since it tastes marginally okay, and sometimes that beats taking the time to make things ourselves. I’m the first to admit this; given my typical [...]

Getting All Fired Up

September 4, 2009

Check out this time-lapse video the folks at CrunchGear. pointed me to of the Station Fire. As it happens, this fire is the largest in the history of Los Angeles county. Keep in mind that the fire started on August 26 (last Wednesday), and this video was posted on August 31. That means five days [...]
