An Open-Letter Rant Regarding the Arbitrivial Nature of Human Beings.
Remember the chorus to that old Janet Jackson song, Escapade? “Come on, Baby, let’s get away. Let’s save our trouble for another day. Come go with me, we’ve got it made. Let me take you on an escapade!” Yeah, that one. Well, she kind of had it wrong. I mean, saving our troubles for another […]
Remember last week, dear brave librarian? I brought my daughter in to look at all the books and play with the trains and see what new movies came in. Just like I do every week. I think I checked out The Time Traveler’s Wife for like the third or tenth time. I’m pretty sure […]
This post comes as an uber-shock to me. I was never expecting to write this piece, because, quite frankly, I’m very much OVER StumbleUpon and haven’t thought about them in ages. But like a zombie, it keeps popping back up to bite me in the ass. So… here we go again. Why write about it now? […]
~ Because he is a good man. I’m home alone on Father’s Day. My hubz is hard at work today, slaving away for Corporate America to ensure his family has food on the table and a roof above. He has no biological children of his own never will, since I cannot have any more babies. […]
Dear *Every Parent*, If your little child recently lost a tooth, and you aided the Tooth Fairy in leaving anything more than $5 under that child’s pillow, then you are an asshole. Seriously. We don’t all swim in fucking money, you guys. Some of us are POOR. My daughter lost a tooth yesterday. Since she […]
My hubz took me out for a lunch date today. I’m really glad he did, because we learned something new. I don’t think it was a very good lesson {apparently, you are naughty if you are poor — at least, according to Pizza Hut}, but maybe I’m not the best judge. So I thought I would […]
My mother is insane. One probably shouldn’t go about making statements of this magnitude without some follow-up. So this is me, following up. YOU ARE WELCOME. Example #1: My sister and I both recall with avid detail our mother’s detestation of Dachshunds. Yippy little wiener dogs, she used to call them. Dumber than a box […]
I have been avoiding my novel. After struggling to get five chapters saved and printed, two of which have been given cursory glances by a couple writing groups to which I sporadically flock, it would appear I’m at a stand-still. I can’t understand it. I love these characters. I love this story line, even if […]
I had this moment of panic a couple nights ago. I couldn’t remember the name of a very common, pretty classic book for young adults. It’s one we all know. But for the life of me, I could only remember the author {Madeleine L’Engle}, and the less well-known sequel, A Swiftly Tilting Planet. On a […]
“Subtitles are textual versions of the dialog or commentary in films, television programs, video games, and the like, usually displayed at the bottom of the screen.” Subtitles: Use them when loud-mouths won’t zip their goddamn lips. Because sometimes I can’t fucking hear the movie or show I’m watching. This usually happens when we watch something […]
