The most useless thing you’ll ever need

because literature is good for you…

Really. It’s part of a healthy diet, along with booze, cigarettes, and pie. Just thought I would point out that my latest foray into classics reading is up on LitKicks:
“Yet the fact that twice in a row I’ve read of women being sentenced to death based purely on accusations from people who had […]

my trip to oregon

Thanks to Sarah, I have just spent some quality time getting reacquainted with the game Oregon Trail. Do you remember Oregon Trail? Because I remember playing it quite a bit in 7th grade social studies. It was the coolest.

Right on. Now, if you happen to have had an unfortunate childhood that […]

blah blah geekity geek

I’m messing around with my RSS feeds, which is not exciting at all, but anyway, this is just a test post that has nothing to do with anything.  Hurrah.

my dog is the greatest

So, earlier today, I was vamping, and then Caryn suggested that I take a picture of Sweet Pea vamping, which was really a genius suggestion, because really, if you can’t wrap your dog in a feather boa and make her pose for a picture, what’s the point of having a dog anyway?
Exactly.

oh, to be a kid again…

Maybe I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, because I have been kinda cranky all day. Of course, this is the same side of the bed I get up on every morning, since my bed is in a corner which means that there’s really only the one side to […]

memetastic

To continue my streak of fantastically interesting posting…
Leave a comment and I’ll give you a letter. Then you must think of 10 song titles that start with that letter (as well as the artist), without using Google or other cheats.
My letter is the fabulous F. Ta-da:
1. Frank Sinatra - Cake
2. Father Lucifer - Tori […]

right

1.  So, in the seemingly neverending series called The Universe Is Conspiring To Make Me Go Crazy And Jump Off A Building, the mechanics took my car hostage this morning, and I can’t have it back unless I pay them $659.54.  Awesome.  So if you need me, I’ll be out selling one of my kidneys […]

eh

There are days when I wonder if anything else can possibly go wrong, and then I have to curse myself for wondering, because then something else does, almost, it seems, to prove a point.  I’ve been having a string of those days lately, and as such, I’ve been in a somewhat unpleasant mood that borders […]

unleashing my inner martha stewart

When I was a young student in Venice, I bought a purse from this funky seamstress who made, uh, purses. This particular purse was made from remnants of Armani suit material (or so she told me), which is probably as close as I’ll ever come to owning anything by Armani, but anyway, I loved […]

three things

1. Books are Neat
LitKicks and I have a long history. It’s so long, in fact, that I’ve forgotten most of it, which, come to think of it, is really the best way to go. Be that as it may, I’ll be writing over there regularly each week, posting reviews, commentary and, you […]
