I’m taking a break from work. I have a meeting tomorrow morning that I’m finishing up some designs for. And it looks like it’s raining outside. I love the rain. You know those kids who go stomping through the rain puddles just having fun and not caring about getting wet? Yeah, that was never me. […]

There’s this ad for Quizno’s with a chick on it that says “It’s not lacking any meat. And that’s what real women need” and then giggles this infectious little giggle. Infectious like the clap. I have made it my personal mission to never eat there. That ad is just so many shades of wrong. […]
“And to try to mislead children into believing that all cultures are worthy of respect is simply teaching them a falsehood.” —Phyllis Schafly, interviewed on In the Life Well said, Phyl. If you’re a bigoted, wrong-thinking dumbass. People scare the hell out of me some days. I’ve often wondered—if I was allowed to smack some […]
Have you ever been sitting in one position for a long time and then moved your leg in a way that your body deemed awkward and then suffered an extreme surge of pain leading you to think you dislocated something but then the extreme pain goes away but becomes a dull ache in your hip […]
For the past… nine hours at least I have been watching the outside disappear as the snow piles against my window, blocking my view. It’s just as well, I suppose, because the harsh reality is that I’m going to have to dig my car out again tomorrow to avoid getting towed. And I’m in denial […]
I can’t just retire this thing with such a grumpy rant, can I? It’s snowing again. Hopefully not as much as last time. On Monday I had to dig my car out. Not because we got so much snow, but because once the plows went through my car was surrounded by heavy compacted snow. Not […]
It’s currently snowing in the Twin Cities. Minnesota is supposed to get a large snowfall this weekend. In light of that, I went out this morning and bought supplies. Not survivalist or anything. I mean, flare guns and ammunition are pretty standard stuff. Now I’m hunkered down for the weekend. And it certainly has been […]
I woke up this morning and went to pet Ramona. She has a cat bed next to my pillow so she can look out the window. Insert cat lady jokes here and I will hurt you. Anyway I had to do one of those over-exaggerated eye rub dealies because there was a face looking back […]
“I’ve had enough of Rob and Amber. I think America may have also.” John Vito, I missed you. Except you’re already eliminated. Not fair. […]
I got a belated Valentine’s gift today. Quite unexpected. My boss was helping a guy at the counter when she came back and said he had a question for me. I recognized him—an older guy who always has me make his copies because he jokes that he’ll break the copier. And when I got up […]
I had a meeting today about my newest project: a website design for a local restaurant. A place I’ve eaten at for years. And on the way out they gave me free tasty food. Tasty tasty food. But it wasn’t until I got home that I realized that not only had they given me just […]
I finally got a chance to watch “Camp Reality”, thinking it might be worth it. There are a couple people on there that always make me laugh. So I watched the first few episodes. I think I finally have conclusive proof that the editors are the real stars of reality TV. They can make anyone […]
It’s been chaos in the Twin Cities the last few days. This is what happens when it snows and the plows don’t go out. I was a casualty. I got rear-ended today in the middle of downtown Minneapolis. Despite a nasty sounding crunch and a girly shriek from me upon impact, there appears to be […]
Super Bowl Sunday!!!!!!! Rawk on!!!!!!!!! So who’s playing anyway? I kid. I figured that out around 1 PM this afternoon. I did watch the game. Despite appearances (or… write-pearances) I do enjoy watching football. And have a decent grasp of the rules. And by decent I mean I think I know way more than I […]
I started writing something about how great it was that my heat’s been on all the time for the past few days. I was rather thrilled. But right now it’s 1 AM and it’s so hot in here that my laptop’s fan has been kicking on (which only happens on really hot summer days). Plus […]
It’s snowing here in lovely Uptown Minneapolis. It has been for a few hours. But it’s a nice gentle snow. It makes everything look pretty and makes my apartment feel cozier. Which helps, because last night it was so flippin’ cold in here I couldn’t stand it. So now I find myself in this languid […]
I find it kind of… well, pretty cool… that Alison LaPlaca was on The OC tonight. Not just because she’s awesome, but because she was on Duet, which was one of the very first shows to run on the FOX network back in the day. I loved that show. Now they just need Tracey Ullman […]
I should be working (and will be in a minute) but I thought I’d recap some of the highlights of the day: 1. In the year and a half that I’ve been working at my parttime job, today marks the second time that we’ve had cops and a K-9 unit searching the building. Although it […]
