I’m A Jerk
if you ever somehow manage to drop a spoonful of greek yogurt on your keyboard at work…
…I’d recommend not trying to clean it out with a cotton swab. Because then the cotton swab might get stuck IN THE KEYBOARD. And if that were to happen, you might perhaps find yourself requiring assistance from someone who first has to take a picture, because seriously, you jammed a cotton swab into your keyboard, … Continue reading
it takes awhile but i’ll get to the point
It’s Indie Ink Writing Challenge time once again, boys and girls. My challenge this week is from Michael Trimmer: Battlefield non-combatant POV Right. And my challenge for the week went to Nick. And now, without further ado, let me go ahead and extend this italicized introductory portion of the post beyond what is in any … Continue reading
solitary man, by carly phillips: a review
A few weeks ago, I was contacted about reviewing a book (or more) by Carly Phillips, who is, the email told me, a bestselling author. I don’t typically review books here (I have, however, reviewed some for Literary Kicks), but I do write about books on my blog from time to time, so it’s not … Continue reading
jamelah: rescuer of turtles, wearer of red leather shoes, fixer of computers, all-around swell gal, potential evil twin
Tuesday It was just a day, really… one thing about having worked in outpatient mental health for nearly two years is that hardly anything fazes me anymore. But there was a bit with a turtle! I was sitting there, working, as I do when I’m at work (no, seriously, I really do work, as much … Continue reading
in the event of the rapture
Like most people, I don’t believe that the world is ending today. I just figured I’d state that for the record, whatever record there is. My mom has a degree in theology, and I therefore spent a lot of time during my formative years having discussions about complex theological subjects (or, as I like to … Continue reading
an open letter to the people who are about to have a royal wedding
Dear People Who Are About To Have A Royal Wedding, Look. I’m happy for you two crazy kids. To be perfectly honest, I don’t actually care, but at least I am not actively unhappy for you, so that has to count for something. Right? (I’m sure you’ve been wondering when I would come forward and … Continue reading
on literary dealbreakers (sort of)
A couple of weeks ago, I was perusing my Facebook news feed, as I do sometimes, and I came across a link: Holy Shit: They’re Making Atlas Shrugged Into A Movie. The article begins like so: When it comes to dating, I have only one simple rule. If I go over to a girl’s house … Continue reading
i think the electrical tape adds style
I would’ve mentioned this yesterday, but I had to go out drinking after work, so I didn’t get around to it. I’m sure you understand. Anyway, yesterday morning I volunteered to drop off the deposit at the bank, mainly because I had to get out of the office RIGHT THEN or I was in serious … Continue reading
i should have a series on how to pronounce things*
Last week, I posted about a conversation I had, and I used ellipsis points several times to denote pauses. I received the following comment on this post: I know how to pronounce Jamelah (because there was an instructional video), but I’ve always wondered how to pronounce … And because I am nothing if not a … Continue reading
vacation, all i ever wanted
So, today’s prompt on The Daily Post is about words: favorites and least favorites. But I already wrote a post about this over a year ago: words words words. And though I may repeat myself, I don’t really need to repeat myself. As such, I thought I’d go with yesterday’s prompt: Describe your dream vacation. … Continue reading
