AKA: thoughts while commuting to work. Tickertape style.
Mother-effer! Is that poohead turning left? It’s been like 5 lights now. Bitchass Honda………..I hate you stupid sore throat. You are not my friend. You make me want to cry. It’s come to that…………..Oooooo- I think I’ll get an iced coffee from McDonald’s I really am lovin’ it………..Note [...]

'Cause That's How We Blogroll (Ba-da-bump)

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

So, I’m breaking character, crossing the third wall. I’m blogging about blogging.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not so impervious. I realize that this is a blog and that, duh, it’s interactive. So, in acknowledging this Truth (yes, capital “T”), I’m venturing to address you fine reader. Yes, you.
While I can’t say I write for comments, [...]

Cicada Watch 2007

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

So this is the year.
No, it’s not THAT year, despite what the drunk frat boys in the bleachers say, the Cubs will not go all the way…I mean, come on. Just shut up and drink your beer already. Instead, it’s the year the cicadas come out again. And from the near daily coverage in the [...]

This phenomena has always held a particular interest to me in that I’ve always had a strong sense of smell. And I love that something as [...]

Mom's Night Out: Wherein She's Gotta Have More Cowbell

Friday, May 4th, 2007

My college friends, my three-years-younger-than-me college friends, Mara and Ali, came to visit this past weekend and, as they went sans bra into the night, I dubbed myself “Mom” and gave them some ground rules in the cab on the way to “The Happiest Place On Earth” (skirt the fire hazard atmosphere and it’s like [...]
