Mixed bag on the planet this weekend. It’s kinda weird in the Twin Cities. We’re in the middle of January (okay, end of January) and it’s in the mid-40s. There’s been some talk of global warming, but I’m not sure it isn’t just weather being weather. In a month or so we’ll hit the coldest […]

Wow. It’s a Rhett Miller fest on Veronica Mars tonight. Most notably they played “Four Leaf Clover” by the Old 97s. Featuring the lovely Exene Cervenka of X fame. The track is off of Too Far to Care. And is well worth the purchase. I’m guessing the last song is from Rhett’s latest solo album. […]
Oh Lord. What to write. I have been having serious trouble getting out of bed in the morning this week. I’m not a morning person in the slightest, but this week has been horrid. I actually contemplated calling in dead this morning. I figured that if they didn’t believe me they would at least laugh […]
This is a random thought, but why in the world would you ever have your nickname be BJ? Just sayin’. Ugh. I hate Sundays. Hate. Hate. Hate. I feel like crawling under the covers and staying there. I don’t want to talk to anyone, I don’t want to go anywhere, I just want to be […]
Is there some sort of Copy Bitch Code of Honor? “Thou shall not peek at all the random shit you’re making copies of”? Perhaps there needs to be. For the record, if you’re needing some personal stuff copied, DO IT YOURSELF. If you hand me something that looks interesting and/or scandalous, you best believe I’ll […]
Oh dear Lord. I can’t stop laughing. Every once in awhile Ramona will wake up from a long nap and look all drowsy and drugged out and trying to adjust to the light. And every time, I think, God she looks like someone or something. Tonight she did the same thing and I figured it […]
Two full hours of 24. I don’t know if my heart can take it. I have high hopes for this season. Hm. Palmer’s brother has a similar computer to me. Weird. Best line of the night (as Jack’s dealing with the son): “The only reason you’re still conscious is because I don’t want to carry […]
One of my favorite recent Cops episode moments is on tonight. Some crazy old guy is terrorizing a local fast food joint. The incident itself is kind of funny (the guy keeps screaming “ACLU! ACLU!” as he is being cuffed). But the reason it stands out is because after he’s in custody they’re interviewing a […]
Friday again, huh? I took a header (or a footer, perhaps) on a patch of ice tonight. Fell on my butt. I’m gonna be sore as hell tomorrow. My tailbone especially. I hate Winter. Hopefully the concussion I incurred won’t affect me much affect me much. […]
As I write this I’m watching Homicide “Night of the Dead Living”. Great episode. Ah, with Tergesen in it. He showed up on a semi-regular basis until he got shot and went blind. Munch to Bolander: “Your partner Mitch. Has sex with goats.” Anyway, in preparation for doing taxes this year (or should I say […]
AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap, why didn’t I know this. I was checking sites linking to me and inadvertantly came across the fact that The Sleuth channel has picked up Homicide and is rerunning it—it looks like—every night. That is just insanely cool. Back when CourtTV ran it, I’d watch it every night (I think it was […]
I deleted my story about screwing up at work and replaced it with a story that—upon rereading—makes me sound like a klepto. Heh. I swear I’m neither. And in a semi-related story I grabbed a t-shirt to wear today and it was an anvil drop shirt from a few years ago. So I repaid my […]
I swear to god something has got to go right for people in my life soon. ‘Cause right now shit ain’t goin’ so hot for anybody. In other news, a lunch meeting on Sunday turned into me wandering around Gardner Hardware for a couple hours. Which is actually more interesting than it sounds. I’d never […]
Yay for Happy Claire! I resolved to start leaving my part time job early on a more regular basis so I could get some work done during the afternoon. And as I was driving home I got that happy feeling in the pit of my stomach that I used to get when I worked from […]
Every ounce of creativity—literary or graphical—is just plain gone. I went into tantrum mode and threw my laptop across the room in a fit of pique. Which shattered everywhere. I’ve been sweeping up the pieces all evening. I have no idea how I’m going to get my files off my hard drive now. So years […]
Wangler: Happy New Year, motherfuckers! Schillinger: Eat me, you little prick. Gotta love Oz. C’mon, ‘fess up. Who woke up with a strange person in their bed? It’s a New Years tradition. Actually that never happened to me. It happened to past roommates of mine though. I have pictures. Me? I tended to wake up […]
I wrote like eight rants yesterday (which I’ve been doing a lot lately) and I realized on the way home that I had no idea what incarnation I ended up posting. It’s like reading my rant for the first time! Oh what a feeling! […]
Ever feel just pretty ignorant? I’m a stupid white girl. And tonight reminded me of that. Anyone else know that Native Americans occupied Alcatraz island for over a year and a half out of principle? I sure didn’t. And I have a BA in history. I thought I knew a bit about history. Totally wrong. […]
Today? Odds and Ends Sunday. Yesterday was my high school reunion. As curious as I was to go and see who was doing what, I passed. At this point in my life, I just didn’t want to. Which is totally selfish, I know. You know, I was thinking about the “semi slamming into” story and […]
Winter has descended upon the city. How do most people deal with it? Winter sports! Sledding, skiing, bobsledding, snowboarding, snowshoeing, jumping into freezing waters for a quick swim… But the real Winter sport? Driving. It’s a bitch. Actually, it can be fun. If you’re on a road with no traffic and no parked cars, slipping […]
It’s actually a little after Thanksgiving, but I didn’t get home until midnight. So this is my semi-post Thanksgiving post… or rant. On the way to help my mom prepare stuffing and green beans, the local NPR radio station was having a Thanksgiving theme. And they played Golden Smog’s Pecan Pie. Awesome. For the record, […]
