Oh my god…my love of dumb movies is deep and abiding. I’m actually way picky about dumb movies, but I love ’em anyway. It can’t be ALL gross-out humor, and it can’t be heavy on humiliation/social-awkwardness/cringe. Steve Carell…sorry buddy, but your movies make me wince. Giddy teenybopper flicks like Clueless & Mean Girls, mockumentaries like […]

“> Yes, yes, yes, folks…so it appears that Frank Tuesday is back in action in the KC area. Maybe it’s FT’s evil clone, maybe it’s something completely different. All I know is that the insanity and mayhem we’ve all come to crave is wafting on the breezes and we should all get a good dose […]

I remembered I own the PERFECT dress for our “hippie wedding.” This is basically my favorite dress that was ever made. I’ve thought this dress was beyond awesome for many, many years. I used to wear it in highschool to gross out the more fashion conscious girls who did not wear orange polyester, thank you! […]

I need to get a different iron. This one, the temperature setting is too easy to change…if you bump it it can end up getting turned WAY up…then this can happen: This was going to be my wedding dress. It may yet, if I can get up the heart to re-cut that back bodice section, […]

8-18-08 202, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. Man, you wouldn’t believe what a good dog Ruby is. Seriously, she’s just naturally a good little dog, and all Joel and I can do is add a little polish. She’s friendly, fairly respectful of the cats, and amazingly mellow. She’s amenable to instruction and is picking up the […]

fly (best viewed large), originally uploaded by Meetzorp. Despite the fact that flies are kind of nasty and a real nuisance when you are trying to have a picnic, they’re awfully cool-looking little critters…especially the greenbottles and bluebottles. I am completely knocked out by what good pictures I can sometimes take with my camera. The […]

This has been a rough week. All of the upcoming weeks between now and the wedding will probably be much less of an asspain. Tonight Joel and I are leaving for Omaha to celebrate some brithdays and have some good ol’ family time. In the meantime, how about reading all about fictional automobiles? Why not? […]

I’m feeling a little testy on account of stress and annoyance, and was thinking about some of the incredibly unhelpful things some people sometime say to those who are wallowing in AAAARGHH! 1. I always get annoyed out of proportion by people who say “ Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making […]

My fucking computer has died. AGAIN! I swear I’m cursed and it’s jinxed. I don’t know. It’s yet ANOTHER bad hard-drive. This one was brand new in May, so we’re not talking about something that’s seen a lot of use. I shut it off when it’s not in use, it’s unplugged when not in use, […]

I will do a short list of “things about me that you might not know.” 1. I think insects are fascinating. Bumblebees are probably my favorite because they’re so cute and fuzzy and noisy. They also fit perfectly into the funnel-shaped middle of a morning glory blossom, and it’s amusing to watch a fat bee […]
