Just got back from seeing Napoleon Dynamite which cracked me up bigger than shit. That movie was so refreshingly weird. It definitely has the best dance scene of pretty much any movie, ever. Better than Julia Stiles’s debut to hip-hop club dancing in Save the Last Dance. Maybe not quite as good as The Time […]

I’d like to take the opportunity to state, right now, that I fucking hate my glasses. Let me clarify—I am very fond of my normal glasses, an unobtrusive little Ben Franklin number of delicate wire rims and painfully expensive FeatherLite plastic lenses. I hate the glasses I am currently wearing, which date back to 10th […]

I’m (not fuzzy) and blue, oh so not-fuzzy and blue. From butt to an ankle or two. Not fuzzy, but blue. Note to self: believe it or not it is a bad choice to wear new, super-dark, old-schjool indigo denim bluejeans on a day when you might sweat a lot. Even when you pre-washed the […]

Imagine, if you will, that you are a high-strung, irascible woman on a bicycle, coming home from a colossally frustrating day at the office, when some stooge honks his horn at you while you are going under a narrow, dark, skanky, spooky railroad bridge. What would you do? I did what I always do when […]

It’s hotter than seven hells in my office today and I’ve been sweating like a cart-horse. Building maintenance has been working sporadically on the HVAC system since April and we occasionally have days of stifling heat or joint-creaking cold. Last Friday, I had blue fingernails. Today, I have sweat actually trickling down my body at […]

From the Department of Oh Holy Crap That Is Disgusting: I had a travel mug from one of the various Corporate Campaigns of Gung Ho Insanity from my previous job. I actually have several, but only one of those mugs is relevant at the moment. This mug, being capacious and minty-green, is an excellent mug […]

Brace yourself for butt-tastic T.M.I. I sunburnt one ass-cheek. Yes, just one. I was working in my garden this past weekend, wearing stupidly-worn-out cutoffs, one leg-hole of which was enlarged due to having gotten it caught on a piece of decorative wrought-iron work on a gazebo handrail. So, when I wear these shorts (only for […]

I got lost again today. Twice. Not just looking for a specific street. No, I got lost looking for a whole *town* which I managed not to find. Twice. Two different consultations of the map, two different routes. Two different encounters with road-construction or traffic congestion diversion tactics. Folks, I can’t find Bonner Springs with […]

D’uh, I really suck at regular updates. I could use the lame excuse that I am busy, but everyone is busy, so nyah. My dad was in town this past weekend, and we had a very nice visit. I’d have liked to take him out sightseeing a bit–we had kicked around the idea of going […]

Bleh! I need a jump-start to even see if the new starter I put in my car works. Apparently, when I was fucking aroudn with the new ignition switch the weekend before last, I ran the battery down, so now it is *really* no go. Bugger! Better news, the new brakes on my bicycle are […]
