My niece turned 11 today. She looks like she’s fifteen or sixteen, and she’s already asking when she can start dating. She will be taller than me by my next birthday (April), and her hands and feet are already bigger than mine. She is wearing lipgloss and eye…stuff, and she wants to get her ears… Continue Reading
Hopey-Changey, Not So Much
I’m not feeling so hopey-changey right now. It’s not really Obama’s fault, right now, though. First, I gotta vent. I had to run a quick errand. I was listening to NPR, and they had on the BBC, who were reporting on MJ’s memorial at the LA Staples Center. There’s some kind of bidding going… Continue Reading
The Death Membrane
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… Continue Reading
A Dilly from Wasilly–er, Wasilla
By now, you probably have read/heard that Governor Palin has resigned her position in Alaska, in effect, giving her two weeks notice. When I first saw the news on AKM’s FB page, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Some of the friends I’ve made through the Mudflats started posting it in their statuses as… Continue Reading
For Mah Lay-deees!
Ok, fellahs. I gotta warn you that I’m going to be talking about female things today, so if you’re squeamish about menstrual cycles and such, this is your chance to bail on today’s entry. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Ok, now that the guys have left, women, we need to talk. First up, yes,… Continue Reading
Senator Al Franken, Bitchez!
When I woke up today, I had NO idea that today would be the day that we, Minnesotans, would get our second senator. Hey, it’s only eight fucking months past the election. What’s the rush, right? Speaking of Rush, I sincerely hope that he is frothing at the mouth, curled up in a fetal ball,… Continue Reading
Fuck You! No, Fuck You!
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… Continue Reading
Mrs. McGinty’s Dead–Before You See It
All right. Before I start my review of this movie, I have to explain a few things. I am a HUGE Hercule Poirot fan, and I have read every book at least five times (I have them all). When I first started watching movies on any kind on a regular basis (meaning with the aid… Continue Reading
Stop. Please. No. Really. Just Stop.
Ed. Note: I started this last night. So, I met two really cool women tonight who generously allowed me the use of their pool (thanks, gex), and permitted me to love up their gorgeous Alaskan Eskimo. In addition, their beautiful and elderly Siamese deigned to grant me the privilege of caressing him a few times.… Continue Reading
I Left My Heart in the 80s
As you probably know, Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett have both died today. They were both iconic in their days in their own ways, and, apparently, the whole country is mourning. I say this with minimal snark because death is sobering. However, I question the reaction of everyday people to these deaths, especially to Jackson’s.… Continue Reading
