It is, in fact, possible to have fun with kids, but only if that kid is my adorable baby sister, and you are me. So I spent yesterday out in Cloverdale with the family. Highlights: As mentioned previously, giant puppy is, in fact, giant. Other things noted: Bendy sister is bendy. Turns out that 5 [...]

Thundershirt: A review!

My review isn’t nearly as funny as this one, so you should just go read that. But I’ll add my voice to the “Huh, this actually seems to work.” The above link is actually where I first heard about Thundershirts — I’m in the same community as the above poster when she asked for referrals [...]
Sunday Morning Dogs

Poor Justice. I think she’s getting a little fed up with this interloper. Every time she has something nice, Jasper wants it. And since he’s a pushy little guy, he comes up and takes it. And because Justice is evidently a giant suck, she lets him, and then looks sad for a while, and goes [...]
Doing the Math

Sometimes, I think cell phone companies are math challenged. I currently pay about $40-50/m and have a year and a half left on my contract. I’d like to upgrade to an iPhone. This will increase my bill to about $70-80ish/month. I am willing to EXTEND my contract for another 3 years on top of that. [...]

So this morning, I got up bright and early so I could take the bus into town with Nick and get in early to the hospital only to realize that drop-ins didn’t start until 10:15. Bah. So, I hung out at Starbucks and drank copious amounts of coffee while reading We Need To Talk About [...]

Well. At least I’ll look good when I’m forced to live under a bridge. The downside to a mild latex fetish, and a slightly less mild costume fetish? Latex is fucking expensive. Anyway, so a few weeks ago, the Marmot mentioned she was making an order from Twist My Rubber Arm, and did I want [...]
Is this what it’s like to have children?

I now understand an aspect of parenting I wasn’t expecting. So, Nick & I were getting a little frisky this morning. (I suppose if we DID have children, we wouldn’t be getting frisky in the livingroom on a Saturday morning to begin with, but still. Work with me here.) We’re just getting into it, and [...]
We come from a long line of voodoo witches

I think my mother’s a witch. No, not the “omg, she’s such a wretched person” kind of witch. The kind that has control over weather and flying monkeys and can turn you into a toad. So, this morning I called my mother. Not usually reason for a blog post, except I had to call her [...]
