I-Am-A-Robot-Would-You-Like-A-Coke-Madam

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

You may be familiar with my stance on the horrible injustice that is this: It is seven years past “the future” (the year 2000), and we still do not have personal robots to do our bidding and talk in adorable robot voices. If you’re not familiar with said stance, here’s a refresher.
Today on my morning […]

So Fun! And Friendly, and Helpful!

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

I just read Cathryn Michon, Grrl Genius’s blog entry for today about her friend’s organization, Friends & Helpers. Here’s a blurb from Cathryn’s blentry:
So anyway, here’s the deal. In September my boyfriend and I (and apparently a bunch of rock stars) and some other people like us who are NOT rock stars are all […]

Oooh, My First Catty Comment!

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

The other day I blogged about fertility drugs, something I do not and did not pretend to be an expert on, and today I saw that I have received my first catty comment from a stranger!  Someone named "Mon."  I think this shows that I have arrived, so to speak, in the blogosphere.  Score!
It is […]

American Justice, and whatnot

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

I was going to write a post wondering how long Zacarias Moussaoui would last in prison without getting killed — five minutes? one minute?  But then I found out he'll be in solitary.  Good.  He'll have the rest of his life to think about what he's done.  It's like getting sent to your room rather than getting […]

Wholesome Wear Is Back!

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

Yesss!  Someone at my last job pointed me toward this jewel of a swimwear website: www.wholesomewear.com.  I checked back a while ago and it was under construction, and I feared that something had happened to my dear Wholesome Wear!  But it's back, and I can breathe a sigh of relief.  Otherwise, what would I have […]

My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

That's a badass title, isn't it?  Well… I wish I could take credit, but I can't.  It's a song title from the Flaming Lips' new album, "At War With The Mystics." I heard a segment about it, including some clips, on KCRW this morning, and I am absolutely peeing myself to get my hands on it.  It's been a long time since I've […]

Dude. Kids and Animals, man.

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

My co-worker Scott finds the best news!  Here are three links he sent me today.  Run, don't walk, to click on these. 
This first one is the best piece of news I've seen in quite a while. A housecat named Lewis gets a restraining order. The housecat is under house arrest.
These are the best two paragraphs:
"He looks like Felix the Cat […]

Guess What Week It Is?

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006

It’s National Procrastination Week!  It’s also the week before my birthday, but since I’ve been busy celebrating Procrastination Week, I haven’t planned any sort of celebration.  Speaking of birthdays, today is Amanda’s (Happy Birthday, Manditas!!) and coming soon is Nathan’s.  Nathan’s is right around the time of mine, but I forget the exact day.  I […]
