True Story: What I “Learned” in Sex Ed

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Perhaps it should first be noted that these random MAGICAL musings are brought to you by some wicked 3 a.m. insomnia. So, whilst lying in bed tweeting and challenging my Google Reader to a duel (you may say 78 unread, but I. Will. Win.), my mind wandered to some, er,  different places. Apparently, a lot [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #26: Compiled Miscellany of Snark

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

I hate a lot of things. Besides the obvious things like Speidi, sex offenders, and people who do bad things to children, puppies and/or trees; I hate lots of random things too. So for lack of a more productive use of this Toolbag Wednesday, I’ve compiled a list for you, which also makes this the [...]

The End of Romance?

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

While outwardly I, and for all appearances- contentedly, sipped my morning coffee from my extra special mug that My Dear Heart picked out for me (oh yes, I have stuff there) and indulged his love of  le Tour de France; inwardly things were taking a bit of a different turn. In fact, I felt as [...]

There's a Zoo in My Tummy!

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Holy hell, am I PMS-ing! AAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! I’m that skit on SNL- you know the one- when Tina Fey brought it back old school and made fun of the birth control commercials for the pill that all but eradicates your period. Yeah, I’m the one with the pink ax in the office (many expletives have been [...]

Foot Maxi Pads

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

This is straight up the nastiest thing EVER. I was watching TV the other night and this commercial for “ancient Japanese” Kinoki foot pads came on. Apparently, they *miraculously* detox your whole body of such harmful things as mercury, asbestos, lead, and cellulite. Sounds pretty sweet, right?To help explain the “science” behind these Always with [...]

Lunchroom Anatomy

Friday, April 4th, 2008

So I was talking about London the other day during lunch with a mixed group of my co-workers, and happened to mention something about Goodge Street. At which point, I saw one of the younger girls seize up in shock and dismay that I would utter such a word so nonchalantly.“Did you just say what [...]

John Mayer: Brilliant Tool Bag?

Friday, March 14th, 2008

John Mayer, he of the cheesefest “You’re Body is a Wonderland” notoriety (ick, makes me squirm just typing it), is either the shiniest tool in the shed or one of the most brilliant satirists of our time. While he often frightens me (it’s his toddler-like, disproportionately large head), I confess to being fascinated at the [...]
