I blog because I can. OK, that’s a flippant answer, which is what I do best–flippancy. In the beginning, I started blogging because I felt like I had a whole lot of shit to say, and I didn’t want to wear out my friends by ranting and railing at them until I turned blue in [...]
Pssst. Hey, you. Come a little closer because I have a secret to tell you. I fucking hate Amy Tan. Shocking, I know, but I cannot stand the bitch. OK, OK, to be fair, that’s not exactly true. I don’t hate Amy Tan herself (partly because I don’t even know her), but I hate the [...]
We lost a good man today. Well, yesterday, but I woke up to the news today. Senator Ted Kennedy, the last of the fabled Kennedy boys, has left this world. He has been in serious decline for the last year or so, so I can’t say it was a shock to wake up to the [...]
I’m a minimalist kind of gal. At home, I dress in the least clothes possible, and I usually have my hair up in a high ponytail or a high sloppy bun. Or, if it’s cold out, I just let it hang to my waist. I don’t wear any makeup or perfume. Excluding cat-related time, I [...]
I’m furious. I’m enraged. I’m weary. I’m horny, but that’s not going to be part of the post today. In the comments from my last post, whabs brings up the point that guilt is supposed to be a part of what it means to be a woman. I have learned that lesson all-too-well. I feel [...]
I spent much of my life convinced that I wasn’t meant to live at this time on this earth. I have detailed before why this is so, so I’m not going to go through the whole list again. Instead, I’m just going to highlight a few before moving on to today’s post.
I have never decorated [...]
Do you ever have one of those days when you want to say to someone, “Gaaaah! Get the fuck away from me, you piece of shit. I can’t stand the way you breathe, the way you eat, the way you talk, the way you sing, or the way you are just THERE!
You have a fucking [...]
First, your video for the day. It’s Destination Unknown by Missing Persons. Why? Because.
Second, I’m going to tell you a little story. Once upon a time, I used a typewriter. I know, I know, so quaint! I thought it was a big deal when I got a typewriter that had the key you could [...]
So. At the ripe old age of 38, I am embarking on the next phase of my life. I don’t quite know how I’m going to do this as all my old coping mechanisms are outmoded, and I am slow to develop new ones. For a long time, I resisted having a positive outlook [...]
It’s funny what a twenty-five degree drop in the weather will do for you. Ok, maybe not for you, but for me, certainly. It puts a spring in my step and a smile in my heart.
Or not. Let’s not get too carried away. It does, however, dial the crankiness down a few dozen notches, so [...]
