I was too tired to update last night. Here’s why: I ended up taking a three-and-a-half-hour bike ride. KCMO is surprisingly hilly, and Sam (the dude who leads the rides I’ve been going on) LOVES the hills. Mad-man! Riding with him, on top of not really feeling that great yesterday, wore my ass out. We […]

Yesterday’s party seems to have gone over well; everyone seemed to enjoy the bratwurst, veggie burgers, and bullshitting session, so yay, us! I may get it together to throw another shindig of some sort in August or something. Next time, there will be ketchup. In other notes, I have a metric shit-ton of little baggies […]

Oh hell yes, I did. I finally “got into” that burlesque class. I’m actually having fun with it, hamming it up, and having a good time. My teacher likes my hair and suggested that when I do my bike helmet bit, I should actually wear my hair loose and stuff it up underneath the helmet, […]

For reasons I can’t quite put a finger on, I’m stressed out and going all freaky. My moods have been all the fuck over the place today. I started out the day in a deliriously, obnoxiously happy mood, and have been sinking as the day wore on. Made an asshole out of myself in an […]

On the way home from the grocery store, a thought clicked into my brain. My brain stiffened up a moment, then gave itself a stern talking-to. It said: “You know what? You know what? Fuck it! You spent twice the price of that bike and then some to keep a car you fucking hated on […]

I have a problem. I’m unable to buy myself non-essential stuff, especially not big-ticket items. I talked myself out of the exact pair of Doc. Marten maryjanes that fit like they were already broken in because I just couldn’t hork up $98 on the day I’d spent nearly $400 to get my glasses fixed. I […]

Fox 4 news was at my dance class tonight and filmed the proceedings. They also interviewed students after class. I may well end up on the news in a few weeks explaining why I was dancing with a bike helmet and why striptease is a real challenge for me.

I’m making some new pants. I’ve been looking sad and raggedy for months, and working on other people’s shit, and I finally got my slate clear and cut out a new pair of pants yesterday. I’ve got the fronts stitched together, the fly in and pockets on, and I’ve prepped all the rest of the […]

I’m going to reclaim my old Huffy from my parents’ house sometime this summer and turn it into an art-bike. What my idea is, is to strip it down and paint it metallic green. I wanna cover the seat in green faux snakeskin, and put eyes (possibly clear blinky lights with “googly eyes” glued in […]

I started busting down my garage. Well, last weekend, my parents were down visiting, and they brought crowbars, too, and their might and tools combined with my might and tools means that This is now this. Thanks, Mom and Dad. Breakin’ things is a lot of fun! Also, this thing…it is way more than a […]
