Last night, I was taking the dog for a little spin in the car. (I know, I know. I’m just like a cat lady, except with a dog. The other day, I actually called Sweet Pea “Honey Pumpkin Muffin Pants.” It’s sad, except a honey pumpkin muffin would probably be pretty […]

Damn you, St. Louis.  Damn you.

1.  My latest post is up on LitKicks.  It’s called “Mark Z. Danielewski Broke My Heart” and really…
“I read Danielewski’s ticket to the fame wagon, House of Leaves, a few years ago and loved it deeply. Intensely. I curled up with it in bed at night and let it tell me its dark secrets. I […]

Earlier today, I was reading this post on Que Sera Sera, and while it’s great for its extended discussion of Goldfish crackers (hooray for snack food), it was this bit about not having had a crush on anyone for awhile that struck me:

As someone who spent election day in 2004 trying hard to get John Kerry elected <shaking fist>OHIO!!!!</shaking fist>, I’m not really sure how I ended up on this mailing list:

But yeah, I understand. If those dirty liberals win elections, they’ll have us all eating babies and bathing in blood. And, like, I would […]

While on the subject of songs that shouldn’t even have the right to exist, which I was last week when I wrote about “SexyBack”, since I seem incapable of updating more than once a week because I’m, uh, busy, I figured I should get this out of the way.
Okay, so today, I was subjected to […]
