So, what I’m really looking for is a battery powered picture frame that will make the sound of a toilet flushing when you push a button or pull a lever. Ideally, it would accommodate an A4 sized sheet of paper. Can you believe this thing is for real? Or that I, in actual fact, “earned” […]

because I got wolf-whistled while armpits deep in a garbage can in downtown Kansas City Kansas. The absurdity of the situation just tickled me eight shades of pink. KCKS guys have basically no standards, nor dignity. I mean, srsly? But sexual harrassment and foul odors nonetheless, i think I got enough bottles for my boat […]

I’ve got this awesome fabric: And it’s just enough to make either of these dresses: Sundress OR late-1960s A-line I think this fabric would be just about equally fabulous with either pattern, but I’m not sure which to go with. Opinions would totally not hurt my feelings right now!

I cleaned a bunch of excess keys off my keychain and thought it looked a little sparse. I haven’t had much in the way of baubles or bobbles on there in ages, so I decided to fix that: There is a house key, key to Joel’s workshop, key to my U-lock, and a key to […]

This picture of Ruby and Bagheera continues to amuse me. B-dawg has gotten so HUGE. He’s got to be around 110lb at this point and his back is level with my hip. He’s still got that silly, merry puppy personality. Ruby’s always beside herself with doggish glee when I borrow Bagheera for a playdate. 8-31-09 […]

Here’s that cool fungus I was talking about the other day…the one we had to stop and marvel at when we were out riding the trails at Smithville Lake. I have no idea what it is, other than some kind of a fungus, but man, isn’t it pretty? Looks like a big old hunk of […]

This website has some gorgeous and haunting photos of an abandoned amusement park in Japan I think the photographer did some fairly risky climbing to get some of the shots. I came across this link while perusing the very cool Flickr Pool for vintage playground equipment and was so taken with it that I now […]

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.

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 […]
