How Sad of a Traveller am I?
create your own visited states map A friend of mine posted a similar travel map of her own recently. You can see how well-travelled she is here. So, I thought it might be interesting to post one of my own, while narrowing it down a bit since I’ve never been off the continent. Notice how I have avoided southern states like the plague, that is not by accident. It’s mostly hot and...
It's Wednesday! Yay, Wednesday!!
I bought some Orange-Pineapple Juice last night. I had forgotten how orgasmically those two fruit juices were when combined into a single juice. I could’ve chugged the whole carton, but sometimes prolonging the experience has it’s merits. Still, I am actually longingly thinking about that Orange-Pineapple juice. Is that sad? Wait, don’t answer that. I watched the documentary,...
Answer to Picture that Will Give You Nightmares
It’s the linemen from the University of Troy’s football team at the bottom of a giant slip n’ slide. I’m not kidding. This was posted as part of a slideshow on Sports Illustrated. Thanks, Sports Illustrated. I’m sure that everyone needed to see this. My only question, other than “Why are these guys allowed to use a slip n’ slide?” is- “If...
Picture that Will Cause Nightmares
I could tell you what this is actually a picture of, but it’s much more emotionally scarring to let you figure it out for yourself. Enjoy your Monday, bitches!
Dirty Hippies, What the Fuck is a "meem?", and...
I was one of 2500 lucky people who paid hard-earned money to be entertained by Pearl Jam, Sleater Kinney and David Cross last night at the Schnitz. In short, it was well worth the $75 (plus $10 processing fee, plus $3.50 Ticketmaster fee). It was an evening filled with hope for those who suffer from Crohns and Colitis, excellent performances by one band on the comeback trail and one band playing...
Banning Gay Marriage...Just Plain Retarded
I’d love to be more eloquent about this whole thing, but it’s not worth my time. It’s not an important enough issue, certainly not as important as it’s being made out to be. Background, the House today rejected a proposed nationwide ban on gay marriage. This whole issue is moot. Of course gay couples can get married. It’s not even a matter of conjecture....
Sweet Jesus on a Sourdough Roll, I'm Bored!!!
It’s Monday, I have had NOTHING to do for the past hour and I’m starting to go crazy. I’ve visited all the websites that I regularly visit. I’ve planned out my evening right down to the most minute detail. At 7:45, I’m going to stop editing so I can change to go to the gym at 8:00. I’ll be back from the gym by 9:10, at which time I’ll change out of my...
Jay-Z?
I hardly ever remember my dreams after I wake up. In fact, most of the time, I don’t even have the residue of having dreamt anything at all. The more I look back on my life, the more I’m inclined to attribute this to the fact that for a period of 3-4 years in my late teens and early 20’s, I averaged about 4 hours of sleep a night. Which, I’ve heard, is not enough time to...
Yet Another Example of Christians Not Liking...
Apparently, there are Christian Weight-Loss programs. I was unaware of this movement in the weight-loss arena until just recently (i.e.- five minutes ago). An article published in the LA Times talks about the Christian Weight-Loss program, First Place, and the trend towards faith-based weight loss in recent years. It’s an interesting read, to say the least. Check it out here Apparently, this...
Fuck Drive-In Move Theaters
So, there’s this drive-in theater about 30 miles out of town. We’ve tried to go there before and missed the first movie that we wanted to see, so we didn’t go in. Long story. Last night, we drove down there again. Grabbed some fast food and some Fiji water (I ONLY drink Fiji water) on the way and got in line (a line forms on the side of the highway to get into the...
Whirly
Everything is spinning. Like water down a drain, a twister across the plains, you get the idea. There has been so much going on in the news and I’ve been trudging through my days with my head down, just trying to break through the eye of the storm. My body is constantly tired, my mind is stretched too thin to imagine. But I keep plunging ahead. Tonight, I’m going to the gym and then...
Oversized Load
Sara and I got al notalgic last night and went to a 24-hour truck stop cafe after midnight. We had our late-night breakfast soaked in grease and served saltily by a trashy truck-stop waitress. It was like old times. Yay, for feeling our age again!! PS-Oh yeah, and one of the menu items was a very stuffed baked potato called the Oversized Load. I assume it was meant to be in the parlance of...
