I wore this cool old 1970s corduroy blazer that my grandma gave me today. It was styled with very structured tailoring, and it’s a fairly stout corduroy, smallish-wale, in chocolate brown. It’s a great jacket, but I discovered today that I need to repair the pocket lining in the right-hand pocket, so that [...]

Somebody hit my journal off the search term “removing grasshopper from inside the home.”
I wonder if this person had an indoor grasshopper infestation, or was squeamish and was looking for a way to get a ‘hopper out without touching it. Unfortunately, unless this person delurks, I will probably never know. Fie!
I’ve been working on categorizing [...]

I’m gonna have a huge-o-mungous entry soon…about all the Halloween festivities and upcoming festivities, projects, and craziness.
Right now, I am in the midst of finishing my sister’s wedding dress and my own bridesmaid dress, so I will leave you with one of my favorite old Sesame Street songs. I loved this song when I [...]

me: “I’m off for lunch…gotta deliver a possum and procure a false beard”
boss: (raises eyebrows) oooh-kay
me: It’s an artificial possum!
The plush possum was a joke gift for a friend, and the beard is part of the weekend’s Halloween Festivities Extravaganza.

(and endlessly funny)
Behold LOL METAL!
It’s like the dark, spoooooky, METAL version of icanhascheesburger. I’ve been kind of fascinated with LOLcats and similar photo-manipulations since Belinda at ninjapoodles.com did a few LOL poodles featuring her ham of a dog Delta (and a few other pets, to be fair).
I’d been vaguely aware of LOLcritters before, [...]

When I was at the drugstore buying the digital rectal thermometer I’ve got to use on the cat, I ran into one of the Rollerderby girls I met on Sunday. More specifically, the very kind Rollerderby girl who lent me her spare pair of skates.
Within about 10 minutes of conversation, we mutually learned that we [...]

Kansas City Public Libraries. Seriously, the local library rocks the free world. They’re super-fast about their interlibrary loans, the three branches I frequent are all pleasant, comfy facilities, and now they offer NetLibrary.com access, which is super-convenient and doesn’t incur those pesty late fees. Plus, the new downtown library is just absolutely, [...]

Validation on the fluoride front.

And in other news, I made my first sushi tonight.
I cooked, seasoned, and cooled rice (I spread it out to cool in a cake pan) I cooked 1 cup of dry rice, therefore two cups cooked.
On the onigiri-nori, I spread the rice, then three long slices of green onion, some [...]
