I am just plain not having a good week. Or month. Or, apparently, life at the moment. The least of my troubles: my fucking iPod is corrupt or grumpy or something and claims I must wipe all traces of my (now apparently gone) music in order to use it again. Of course, like any good […]

Coverage of the bridge collapse has died down at the moment. Soon the people who were lamenting the fact that this dangerous bridge wasn’t closed earlier will be bitching about traffic and how their commute has been so terribly affected. So one of the issues I run into working at the print shop (which also […]
So when I was a little girl (a lonely, only child girl) I had a handful of older cousins on my dad’s side. And I was so envious of them because they were so cool that they knew the lyrics to every song. And I really wanted to be as cool as they were. So […]
For the life of me, I can not figure out why Victoria Beckham is getting so much crap in the tabloids about her appearance. I think she looks great for a 50 year old. […]
I’ve been cleaning up files on my laptop for the past few days. And am reminded that, at a certain point, I was low on drive space and just switching between applications was painful. Not only that, but I would lose files because of it. Reminded, I say, because I occasionally run into files like, […]
I sent out my public service announcement for the evening. I alerted the Twin Cities community that a large metal object would be hurling downward onto parked vehicles on August 3 in the warehouse district. I feel like I did my duty. You have not lived until you’ve seen an anvil thrown off a four […]
I don’t know what it is about restaurateurs in this town, but you really shouldn’t screw them over. Case in point: Tom Pham, owner of Azia and Temple (oh such tasty food), who found that a couple who had skipped out on him at one of his restaurants was dining a few hours later in […]
It appears to be Night of the Living Dead. Or… Undead. Or… whatever. It’s Zombie Town on SciFi! I was feeling a little pissed off last night at my former employers. It still happens now and then. As luck would have it, one of them has a rather active anti-fan base online, so whenever I […]
I have until Friday off this week, so I decided to take my vacation day today and then work all day on the Fourth. Being contrary is just so super cool. I was out for a walk with a friend tonight and we passed by a “We support a traditional marriage” yard sign. Now put […]
It was bound to happen sooner or later, I suppose… a potentially large plot point on a show I quote has been spoiled for me because of searches into the site. In unrelated news, Doctor Who starts up again in the US on Friday. […]
I am currently boycotting adding any sort of writing or musings to this site. It was a difficult decision, but until the US withdraws all military presence from Canada my silence will remain testament to my disapproval. Oh who am I fooling with my awesome lies? I just can’t think of anything to write. […]
I was deciding on which type of eye cream gunk to buy yesterday (you’ll just have to bear with me on this one). Because how do you know what really works anyway? Usually no matter what you buy the product doesn’t actually do anything. I assume that’s the unspoken rule about women’s beauty products—they’re useless. […]
Look. If people would just stop paying attention to rich, out-of-control idiots they’ll go away. Everyone claims not to care—or even hate—these people, and yet they go on and on about them. No wonder they’re in the media every five minutes. Just. Don’t. Care. Really. Ignore them. Whatever. On to more important things: I went […]
I think I need to drum up some corporate sponsors for my cult. Nothing big. Maybe a drink company or indie record label. It could happen. Right now, however, I’m trying to figure out whether I have a cold, allergies, strep or the plague. My throat is driving me nuts. I’d throw in a TB […]
So far my cult has The Well of Eternal Bliss and Plastic Frogmen. And that’s about it. Starting a cult is a lot more complicated than I had imagined. I wonder if there’s a “Starting a Cult for Dummies” book out there. They have one for just about everything else. I think my cult needs […]
Don’t think I’ve abandoned the whole starting-a-cult thing. I’m still working out the details. For instance, living quarters. I mean, one or two followers could probably fit in my livingroom okay but if this catches on I gotta accommodate the masses. And I’m not giving up my room. But I have decided that there will […]
First they came for the LiveJournal users. And I did not speak up, because I was not a LiveJournal user… That sucks that LJ is deleting/policing blogs they think are of questionable content, but the furor created is a bit ridiculous. When you’re using someone else’s (generally free) service, they have the right to do […]
I just returned from a road trip to the lovely city of Milwaukee. And all I could think of was: Record Book: Springfield is now the fattest city in the U.S. Homer: Woo hoo! In your face, Milwaukee! Lovely place, though. We celebrated a cousin’s graduation with brunch at Mader’s, a German restaurant downtown. Good […]
