[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3wgaWAHo2Q] So, as I mentioned over on Twitter earlier, I got caught singing Spice Girls tunes publicly this afternoon. I was out riding around, running some errands and enjoying the unseasonably pleasant weather, and for some odd reason, “Wannabe” was in my head. And soon, I was singing it, which was, of course, ridiculous and […]

I’ve admitted before that I conflate George Clooney & David Duchovney in my mind. Apparently, Mickey Rooney & Mickey Rourke are the same person in some perverse crinkle of my brain, too.

I think I might have mentioned that I was going to make a belt out of a scrap of bowling alley carpet. I probably posted about it on Twitter. Anyway, I found a little strip of leftover carpet trimmings in a dumpster downtown a few weeks ago, and was inspired to make a belt out […]

I am obviously not a prescient woman, and have one especial blind spot in my planning; I scrub out the bathtub twice every two weeks. Okay, so I scrub it out once a week, every week. However, every two weeks, I give the dog a bath, and almost invariably, the dog gets her bath in […]

Sometime in mid-June, you will, if you are lucky, be floating down the Big Muddy in a home-built contraption based on salvage, bicycles, and cuss words. And maybe a little duct tape, a few zip-ties, and some hope. Crews are […]

My hair continues to be a source of humor and vexation to me. I gave myself an Epic Fail haircut last year at about this time. It was seriously about the worst I’ve ever looked.

Umm..so we found a lot of wine in a dumpster, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. Each of us nabbed two or three bottles, because it was there, basically. Now what the sam-hill am I supposed to do with it? I’m not much of a wine drinker (not much of a drinker, full stop) and I’d feel […]

Klutziness? Fever-addled incompetence? Loss of mind? Whatever you want to call it, at midafternoon on Friday, things were not coming together as planned. I was starting to feel a better from my little bout with the flu, but I obviously wasn’t up to full power. Fortunately, today I was back on the right track, and […]

So…I started making this suit on May 30, 2006. That’s when I started cutting it out. I bought the fabric sometime in late ’05, I think. I finished it, down to the last button this afternoon. Is that ridiculous or what? There we are WAAAAY back then, after laying out and pinning down, the cutting […]
