I have an idea. Let’s make that whole “Attack Site” thing The Thing of Which We Shall Not Speak (TToWWSNS), okay? Onward! I have a question. Should I be eating polenta? My grocery store is starting to carry “exciting” flavors, and I really don’t know what polenta is, but if the packaging looks sort of [...]

Despite rumors to the contrary, I am not an attack site.

September 28th, 2009 · 7 Comments · Daily, Review, Will it make me sick?

Oh, Internet. Do you remember last week when I updated my software and I was So Proud and maybe a bit cocky about the whole thing? Yesterday, as I was writing a review for BlogHer, my screen went squirrely, and I received a message accusing me of being an attack site. The message came from [...]

All I wanted was to dance to a Milli Vanilli tune. Thwarted again.

September 24th, 2009 · 20 Comments · Cucumbers aren't always cool., Daily

As you know, I went to my high school reunion last year. As a result, I’m now once again in touch with all of my favorites from high school (via Facebook, of course). Actually, I take that back. I’m in touch with my favorites who are actually on Facebook. I’m still looking for this guy [...]

It’s like buying a brand new notebook and spiffy pen!

September 19th, 2009 · 22 Comments · Daily, Make Out Parties, Sticks and String, Super Music Saturday

I suppose it’s a bit silly how I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar-ish I get after completing a seemingly piece of cake act like updating software. Suddenly, I’m wearing new underpants, and I feel like sitting here and writing all day. ($40 says I could have you sleeping by noon.) After spending entirely too much [...]

I’m eating my hair. I’m eating my hair!

September 18th, 2009 · 10 Comments · Cucumbers aren't always cool., Daily, Will it make me sick?

So, I’m about to update my website software to the latest version, and I’m shaking in my boots. My hair is curling, my flesh is crawling, my blood is running cold, et cetera. Confession: I am scared to death of driving around in a big city. I’m no good at it. I make lots of [...]

Colon Firth—The Final Innard Entry

September 10th, 2009 · 26 Comments · Daily, Will it make me sick?

I come to you this day to report that my colon is clear and healthy, and I may now sit safely under the large (and slightly itchy) IBS quilt. Wait. Did you just say you wanted to see a photograph of my colon? Well, here you go! (That is not a hot dog, René Magritte!) [...]

Nothing to see here…

September 8th, 2009 · 16 Comments · Daily, Shorties, Video! Video! Video!

I’m sort of updating this as I go, until I end up doing an inadvertent impression of Glenn Close crying in the shower. Breakfast: One cup of Earl Grey with (perfectly legal) honey, one half cup of cherry gelatin, one half cup of beef broth, one iced coffee with Splenda. Mid-morning snack: One cup of [...]

I’ve eliminated friends who have broken my spines.

September 1st, 2009 · 26 Comments · Daily, Just asking, Make Out Parties

I’m in love with having signed copies of books. Seeing an author’s handwriting makes me feel closer to the actual writing process, and that jazzes me to no end. I keep all of my signed books on the top shelf of my bookshelf, and they are the only books that receive a semi-regular dusting. (Okay. [...]
