Rocketship Underpants

Where the hell have I been, huh? I have no idea. But I can tell you that John and I sat down on the couch just now and I smelled something.
“Hey, uh, what smells so bad. Is it my feet?”
*sniff*
“Oh no. It’s both of our feet.”
Real update tomorrow. I promise.

I love three-legged animals. I do. They make me grin like a big idiot. Every time I see a cat or dog hobbling around on three legs I just squirm with excitement. They’re so cute and happy. It’s a similar reaction whenever I see a cross-eyed cat, but I digress.
Meat, the store where we purchase [...]

I’ve had a lingering interest in acupuncture for quite awhile now. But it wasn’t until I heard that I could actually afford it that I began thinking seriously about it. My friend, Jay, told me about the local acupuncture school (Oregon College of Oriental Medicine) where students practice under the supervision of trained [...]

First, let me preface this by saying that there is absolutely no reason to drive while intoxicated. None. I’ve heard acquaintances and even friends tell me stories with excuses. But in every story they end up sounding like an asshole. Because they live far away, they’ll get a ticket if they leave their car there, [...]

Today is John’s 27th birthday. Yes, I just announced it to the world. And in honor of the occasion I made him a carrot cake. You see, he likes carrot cake. A lot. His favorite birthday cake wasn’t carrot growing up, it was a chocolate skillet cake his mom makes. But seeing as I like [...]

Once upon a time I had roommates. One of whom shared a weird obsession with me. James and I liked to watch Lisa Hannigan. We thought she was amazing.
James, do you remember Lisa Hannigan? The girl who sang back-up Damien Rice? The girl we all watched, drooling? We would stand in your room, just watching [...]

Last night John and I were sitting on the couch and Scraggles (see above) had draped himself on the middle cushion, head closest to the edge. He was sleeping, and apparently he was out pretty good, because he jumped (in the that startled way) straight up and then proceeded to do a backwards somersault off [...]

To quote another Beatles song that more accurately describes my relationship with money: “I don’t like you, but I love you. Seems that I’m always thinking of you. Oh, you treat me badly, I love you madly. You really got a hold on me.”
I’ve recently discovered a few interesting ways of saving money that are [...]

There’s been talk of the movie for years, and come October we will finally see it in live-action, full-length form. Am I excited? Oh, crap yes! Am I making a pathetic attempt to hold back my excitement in fear that it will be less than I imagine? Yeah, that too. Because the book has permiated [...]

Last week Iowa and now Vermont. Are the times a’changin’? Yes, and maybe. In 2004 Gavin Newsom declared that he was willing to risk his career for the legalization of gay marriage and promptly began handing out licenses to queers and breeders alike in San Fransisco. Not a month later Multnomah County Commissioners, here in [...]
