Perhaps I’ve fallen a bit too much under the influence of the motoring website Petrolblog, which tends to concentrate on the odd, the low-budget, and the accessible, but I’ve taken to noticing unexceptional cars of late and considering their possibilities as “future classics.” A few days ago, I was out in Merriam, Kansas, finishing up […]

Because I like Top Gear and because I have a lingering fondness for drastically odd cars, I find myself browsing around in some of the more British sections of the motoring Interweb and today came across one of the most fascinating reviews of obscure, British three-wheeled cars. Now of course, even we Yanks know about […]

So. That happened. Though it may surprise a few of my friends, this was completely intentional. I’d been ambivalent about having kids for a very long time (obviously, as I’m 35 and pregnant for the first time) but now that it’s happened, I’m actually really excited. Like no second thoughts, no “oh-shit-what-have-I-done.” I’m just totally […]

Yes, yes, I have fallen down on my Holidailies duties. I’ve got my first heavy-duty cold in about two years and have taken to a hot bath and been coughing up my lungs since last you heard from me. In fact I am coughing myself stupid as I type, but besides from my rebellious lungs, […]

Some freakin’ jackwagon gang-tagged the shed behind Nancy’s house last night at some point between 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. So, Joel and I went down to our basement lair, gathered up every partial can of spray-paint left over from every bicycle we’ve redecorated in the past decade, and fixed that shit. It’s not 100% […]

I dreamed I helped put together a robot for picking up trash (like WallE kind of), but basically it mostly just masturbated a lot. When it climaxed, it shot springs out. Make of that what you will.

I apparently also have a shitty-pop-cultural situation, because I don’t watch the Jersey shore, except for the clips that find their way on to Beavis & Butthead (which, by the way, the new Beavis & Butthead rules, it rules!!) But anyway, I thought the boy whose hair sticks all up was The Situation, but a […]

If you haven’t seen the “murmuration of starlings†video on the Internet yet, first things first, go and do it. It is beautiful and impressive and a testament to the wonders and glories of nature. It is also…how to put it…gratifyingly devoid of flying guano. Now, then. This morning, on my way to work, I […]

(the bathroom is still a work in progress, so please don’t judge the crummy floor, the cheezy plastic tile on the wall, or my hair-and-makeup box on a cinder block) I had no idea Jacuzzi was a brand. I thought it was like the technical term for a deep, fizzy bathtub. Apparently, they make everything […]

I guess this is what you’d call a wardrobe malfunction. I finished stitching down the facings on this bolero and went to go model it for Joel. This is what happened: Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve pulled a stunt like this. Unfortunately, it is the furthest I’ve gotten in the completion of […]
