Let’s just say that bangs + all-one-length hair = REALLY DAMN BAD IDEA, FOR REAL! Basically, I made myself look like a jackass before we went to a nice get-together with our friends. I looked and felt like a dweeb and spent most of the evening trying to brainstorm on how to salvage my hair […]

So, Finslippy was talking about stinky Gingko fruits, the other day, and I was thinking, wow, I’m glad we don’t have Gingko trees here in Kansas City, because wow, that would suck to ride my bike through a pile of dead leaves and rotten puke-fruit and then have that shit stuck in my tires. Ahem. […]

Well, I can tell my antidepressant has kicked in. Not only am I back to being giddily dorky and exuberant, I’m wanting to do shit again. Unfortunately, I want to do everything! All! At! Once! Aaaaaalll the shit I kind of quit doing a couple of months ago must be done now! Right now! Pronto, […]

I had a pretty lousy day today. I’ve been off kilter for about a week. Stressed. Depressed. Feeling horrible that all I can do at the moment for anyone suffering on account of the Katrina disaster is donate to the Red Cross, and I can’t donate much, at that, because I’m broke–feedback loop into stress, […]

One of the bad things about being both a klutz and a greasemonkey is that you can get confused and spend a goodly amount of time in the bathtub, trying to scrub one of your own bruises off!

Say I were a 1977 Buick Skylark. In pretty good shape, considering, but the paint job…a little damaged. I’m a lifelong klutz. I’m never without some sort of minor injury. It’s apparently been a messy biking week for me. The bruise up high on my thigh is from Saturday, on my old mountain bike, when […]

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, […]

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 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 went to the emergency room last night for the first time in 15 years. Last time I saw the inside of an E.R., I’d sliced the palm of my hand wide open while helping to heft an empty stock-tank over a barbed wire fence. Well, last night wasn’t anything so cool or gory. No […]
