Survivor, Minnesota Style

Day Three of bunkering down.  Or is it Day Four?   I don’t know any more.  The days are long, and so bloody hot.  I don’t know how long I will survive down here with just my bottle of ice water at my side.  Plus, my two intrepid kittehs who keep stern watch over me.… Continue Reading

Curiouser and Curiouser

One of the weirdest political stories in some time is so bizarre, not because it’s political (it’s not), I am somewhat gobsmacked at how it’s unfolding.  The story is the disappearance  of the South Carolina Mark Sanford, one of the most ardent opponent of the stimulus bill.  This weird-ass story sounds like it’s straight out… Continue Reading

The Depths of Despair

Going Red

Let’s talk environment conservation for a minute, shall we?  You really have no choice since, well, I get to choose the topic.  Still, in the spirit of cooperation, I’m going to pretend that you are nodding in agreement with me.  Ok.  Here we go. I am an environmentally-conscious gal, as I have blogged about before.… Continue Reading

What Are My Priorities?

Over at BJ, there was a vociferous debate on a thread about queer rights.  I came into it late (though by the time the thread ended, apparently, I was in the middle), and it hurt.  I was essentially in agreement with some of the main points, but I was bothered by the vitriol leveled at… Continue Reading

Nekkid Blogging!

As many of my faithful readers know, I hate the heat.  What’s more, I hate the humidity.  In addition, I hate clothing.  I know, that’s a lot of hate in one paragraph, but bear with me.  Or, bare with me, as it were.  If I were a believer in the Bible, I would curse out… Continue Reading

Welcome to My Nightmare

I’ve had it.  This sleep thing is bringing me to my knees.  When I’m not staring at the inside of my mask and counting the seconds ticking by, I’m having dreams that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.  I tried to count (black) sheep last night, thanks to the suggestion of Redshirt over at… Continue Reading
