torrid.com is the place to go. That is if you are an over 6′ size 12. As you will see, they work pretty darn well on the ectomorphic build. Photo Credit to Roger Harrison of Lanterne Rouge Cycling Joel and one of his co-workers, Dean, hit upon the notion of a team costume: “patient” and […]

I’m gonna have a huge-o-mungous entry soon…about all the Halloween festivities and upcoming festivities, projects, and craziness. Right now, I am in the midst of finishing my sister’s wedding dress and my own bridesmaid dress, so I will leave you with one of my favorite old Sesame Street songs. I loved this song when I […]

me: “I’m off for lunch…gotta deliver a possum and procure a false beard” boss: (raises eyebrows) oooh-kay me: It’s an artificial possum! The plush possum was a joke gift for a friend, and the beard is part of the weekend’s Halloween Festivities Extravaganza.

The ones who didn’t wear bloomers, that is, and who clung tenaciously to skirt wearing. How, in an era when it was considered racy to show anything above your ankle, did they manage to ride bikes in skirts without showing everything up to mid-thigh? I ask this question because I was wearing a skirt today […]

Last night I went up to Joel’s house to help harvest basil, make pesto, and tear down the ceiling in the living room. He helped me with the outrageous job of removing wallpaper from my living-room ceiling, so I really felt like I owed him. I got up there around 5:30, did a little pottering […]

I’ve been trying to get in touch with the local Kansas City lowrider bicycle club, but I’m damned if I can remember the name of their club. They do some awesome work, and I need to chat with a couple of those dudes and find out more about customizing a banana seat. I either need […]

(and endlessly funny) Behold LOL METAL! It’s like the dark, spoooooky, METAL version of icanhascheesburger. I’ve been kind of fascinated with LOLcats and similar photo-manipulations since Belinda at ninjapoodles.com did a few LOL poodles featuring her ham of a dog Delta (and a few other pets, to be fair). I’d been vaguely aware of LOLcritters […]

I have a loathe/hate relationship with my work cellphone. It is a Nextel Blackberry 7100i, and it is probably the most ridiculous electronic gizzy I’ve ever had in my hands. It’s packed with extraneous options, the majority of which I doubt anybody ever uses. The voicemail is ridiculously complicated to get to. The “keyboard” sucks […]

I’m going as the Ghost of Fashion Indescretions Past this coming Halloween. It’s overall going to be pretty easy. I had some embarasing old clothes around from my highschool days of the mid 1990s, I can still see out of my glasses from back then and I have absolutely no sense of shame whatsoever. There’s […]

Well, we made it down there and we made it back, and we had a good damn time while out of town. Joel, Christi, & I left out of KCMO on Friday morning around 8:30 a.m. We made it down to Blanchard Springs in the early afternoon, giving us plenty of time to set up […]
