Don’t let the meanies bite your head off

Had an interesting experience last night, and without going into too much detail I’ll say this: I’m starting to understand myself a bit better, and also why me and a certain ex never got along. But I’ve also learned that there are plenty of kind and understanding people out there who will not twist my [...]

kinda cool

Hey did you know that some beautiful, non-blurry pics of my tats are up at Modern Body’s website? They’re in Alycia’s portfolio, 7th down on the right column. Squeal!

Having no health insurance is a bitch

Yeah, I’m not a kid anymore. My parents cut me a check for Christmas and rather than thinking of the digital camera, expensive boots, or other sundries I could buy, I squealed “Yay! Now I can go to the dentist!”

I heart my friends, again

I was chatting with Jonathan yesterday, and he mentioned that Christmas day while the family goes to church he’ll be doing his morning rounds on the farm. Thinking that he needed to make it more Christmasy, I suggested that he take a photo of their new calf Bob (named after our wonderful friend Bob!) all [...]

chock full of Christmas cheer

I’ve been having a conflict of interest this Christmas season, because all in all the holiday has been simple and stress-free for me. I almost feel guilty, like I should adamantly hate Christmas for the consumerist behemoth it’s become. And I do recognize that Christmas can be twisted and turn people’s hearts to coal, but [...]

this is what laziness gets ya

These have been out for a while, but whatever.
First there’s another movie mashup, but honsetly this one is pretty darn awesome.

Then there’s the new webisodes by Illeana Douglas, and you should really be watching these.
Finally I just had to comment on Timberlake’s latest SNL skit, because I hate to admit that [...]

S’all okay

My sister and I gave up surprising each other long ago. Now when it’s Christmas time we simply tell each other what we want. Last year we even accompanied each other to the store, picked out what we wanted, and waited pleasantly outside while the other purchased it. Because it’s just easier that way, [...]

Who knew I had a maternal instinct?

For the past two months I’ve been teaching a test-prep course for the Cambridge Advanced exam, and yesterday was our final day of class. We celebrated in the way that people usually celebrate the last day of class, with a movie. In hindsight I think that The Sting had a little too much outdated slang [...]

This is just me venting

There are a couple things that are infuriating me right now. First of all, I ordered this shirt over a month ago, but stupidly had it shipped to my OLD Oakland address. I waited patiently for it to be returned to the company and re-shipped. They still haven’t received it. I checked the tracking number [...]

Worth a shot

The t-shirts over at the Onion Store are apparently on sale. But for how long??
So if you’re one of the two people who read this blog, and maybe you’re in the mood for some Christmas shopping, and maybe you only wanna spend 10 bucks, here are two I’d really, really enjoy, in size large.
kthxbi!
