Shorely Funny

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

After a post like yesterday’s, the only thing to do is find something exponentially more cheerful. Something that makes me laugh Every. Single. Time. Something just flat out funny. Namely, the hilarity that is this video clip. I just replayed it eight times in a row and have actual tears in my eyes right now [...]

Kidney Stone or Stone Baby?

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Okay, I admit it. I can be a teensy bit overdramatic when it comes to being sick. But, then again, I’ve had some pretty janky ass illnesses (see: The Cough). So, when this past January found me rolling around in the dark in bed one night with side pain so severe I thought my appendix had [...]

Fifth Annual Turkey Day Craft Hour

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

It’s that time of year again! The time when Fancy and I get crafty and diligently construct our festive holiday turkeys. Each year, we’ve refined our thematic elements and aesthetic from our initial “hand” turkeys to, what we believe, is our best work ever! I have the Third Annual and Fourth Annual Turkey Day Craft Hours posted [...]

And Now, a Dialogue on Apartment Building Cable Monopolies

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

“Yeah hi.

Well, due to an increase in operating costs, I’m sure you can understand, we’ve had to raise [...]

Delusion Held Together By Chip Clip, Bound By Helicopter to Break

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

There I am, reading Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang, tittering to myself, “Oh, isn’t that just so funny! Ah ha ha ha ha ha! And Ted…what a nut! Why did they break up? Oh. Now I’m sad.” when it happened. My quaint little “she’s just like me” moment shattered faster than a Tivo season pass that [...]

“I Salute You” Friday #1

Friday, March 12th, 2010

It’s Friday: day of general workweek malaise and bated breath whilst the clock ticks toward weekendedness. In honor of the collective disinterest in being productive, “I Salute You” Fridays are buoyed by recent pop culture achievements according to me (which in some cases kindly lend themselves to time-wasting strategies for the greater good of humanity).

Tablemates

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Sunday brunch found my boyfriend I being seated in one of those rows of tables that are approximately an inch apart from one another. Before we even sat down, he was giving me “the eyes,” as in “I-hate-everything-right-now-what-the-hell-there-are-four-empty-tables-over-there.” I myself was inwardly groaning at the piercing octaves emanating from the table beside us. Normally, one [...]
