One of the “new” tops I bought for myself last weekend is one that I bought because it reminded me of a sweatshirt I had when I was a kid. Initially, I HATED that sweatshirt as hard as a 9-year-old could ever hate an item of clothing. Mom made me wear it to school one […]
You’ve seen the movie Clueless, haven’t you? If you haven’t, I think you ought to. It’s become something of a generation-definer for some of us, it’s awfully funny, and if you’re an English Lit nerd, you can pick out the basic storyline of Jane Austin’s “Emma” as depicted by airheads. Anyhow, at the beginning of […]

But I betcha I’d know this song: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RrwA9hVxVw&hl=en] The reason I would know it is because it’s basically a cover of this: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sCj8Qvbr4g&hl=en] I find them both pretty awesome in a giddy, hyperactive, over-produced way.

The most wooden lace I have ever seen on one house., originally uploaded by Meetzorp. This is a super-cool house that Joel and I saw on our ride out to Stilwell last weekend. It’s got the most elaborate case of Gingerbread I’ve ever seen.

There was a mountain bike race out at Landahl this past Sunday; “Truman’s Big Love” which would have been the championship race out of the Heartland series if over half of the rest of the scheduled races this season hadn’t gotten rained out. As we have finally had a good stretch of dry weather and […]

“Eena-mina mink-munk Clink-clunk Oooza-wooza becka-dish Eye-ah why-ah weck!” This is a nonsense choosing-rhyme my Grandma taught my sister and I when we were little kids; it was her version of “Eeenie meenie miney-mo.” I’m not sure if it was entirely made up by Grandma and her brother when they were kids, or if this was […]

Audrey, this is why I think your son looks a lot like you!, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. I’m going to copy that picture you took of little Max drinking out of the sink tap and post ’em side by side. I’ve been looking through these old pictures and definitely seeing a lot of resemblance between […]

Like a boring, sensible person, I put my entire federal refund check into savings (I still haven’t got that mythical $600 from old Geo. W.) My state refund was not terribly large, so I decided to treat that as mad money. So I bought some prints from Jane George’s Etsy shop. I like the way […]

It should come as no surprise to precisely nobody that I’m a big, dumb klutz whose unintentionally idiotic maneuvers occasionally land her in the soup. Oh, boy, today I surpassed myself. It’s possible that many months of not breakin’ shit had left me in some sort of karmic hole. I hope I’m not due for […]

I have two different songs fighting for predominance in my poor head. Two highly different songs in every possible way. See below: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRwMdKO4ikE&hl=en] ROMAN My Dear Boy, by Morning Musume (I know, I should be ashamed, but I do so adore these giddy girls) The other is: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNRwbTLouxQ&hl=en] Thunderstruck, by AC/DC. This is one band […]
