1. Pirate’s Booty: higher cheez-to-poof ratio, plz. KTHXBAI. 2. Ruby has unevenly-sized ears. The right ear is bigger than the left ear, so that when she folds her ears back (which she does when she yawns or is sniffing something very intently) the right ear comes down almost ½” lower on her neck. I kind […]

1. Dried mulberries are delicious! 2. Regarding wedding planning: “You know, it’s going to be a pretty darn casual affair, but probably not so casual that we should have an officiate who might get drunk and put his head through the screen door.” 3. Good lord I have been riding my bike a lot lately. […]

The Internet Phenomenon of “rickrolling” has just come to my attention, which means the meme has probably been building for months and months now, and I’m the last person to know that “rickrolling” is misleading somebody to click a link which takes them to the music video of 1980s 1-hit-wonder Rick Astley “Never gonna give […]

1. I got the new camera I’d been saving up for. I’m now the owner of a Canon Powershot G9. I’ve gone out and done some test shots to get used to it, but since my computer is in the shop right now, I can’t post ’em yet. Joel’s computer doesn’t recognize my camera, and […]

Because I skipped a few too many days of posting and now I have all sorts of random everything to get down. So. 1. I stayed home sick from work on Friday. I got this weird cold from Joel that seemed to go in reverse, starting with a nasty cough and winding up with stifling […]

1. Confession time! (oh, this is going to be fun!) I sometimes confuse or conflate various celebrities or famous people, because I don’t follow their doings closely and maybe they look kind of alike, or have similar names.

1. Do not put on red lipstick, don a balaclava, and ride your bicycle to work. You will end up with lipstick from mid-nose to mid-neck. This has been a public service announcement. 2. The Federal Courthouse is two blocks away from my workplace, and there is a park between the two buildings. Yesterday morning […]

1. Lore Sjöberg’s how-to article on having a Livejournal blog. You may remember Sjöberg from The Brunching Shuttlecocks, or from his current site, Bad Gods and/or Slumbering Lungfish. 2.  As you may know, I went and got a degree in Medieval Studies almost 8 years ago, and I’ve finally recovered enough from my MA […]

1. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6mls-Xd8Ko&rel=1] A junior-high orchestra’s preformance of the theme song from the Jeeves & Wooster series (a jazzy little number I thoroughly enjoy) 2. A terrible story about high-powered laxatives which was linked in some comments on the Bad News Hughes site. 3. I HAS A SWEET POTATO 4. Dogs In Elk (tangential to the […]
