Queen Mediocretia of Suburbia

Putting the TMI in absentminded

Month: March 2009

  • Freaking virus!

    Damn, and I was all set to reveal something that happened last week I have been too SHY to blog about and now the only active PC is hosed and it isn’t even April 1 yet.

  • Deja Vu TV

    I have this conversation with Gary at least twice a week. We switch to the beginning of a TV show. “AUUGHHH!” (That’s Gary.) “It’s a repeat.” “No. ‘Previously seen on.’ For decades, decades, they have started shows with clips from previous episodes.” “NO! I’ve seen this. Don’t you remember that episode; it’s the one where…

  • Giant cheeto to scale

    Gary’s PC is screwed so I’m back to the iPhone. I felt the previous cheeto photo didn’t clarify the giantness of the giant cheetos (see your local shop n save).

  • Education on the Steel Drum

    Unrelated: I woke up this morning and was fed pecan pie in bed. It was great. But that has nothing to do with my struggle to learn the steel drum. Here’s what e-How e-says (slightly edited for your screen): Step1 Have a basic knowledge of music theory and percussion before beginning. Step2 Choose your first…

  • The Baby Cheesus

  • Piggy Bank

    Gary was standing in the hall. I peeked at him from the bed. He was rubbing his round belly and saw me looking at him. “Savings,” he said, conspiratorially. “Ohhhhkay then.” He continued, “When I go on my diet I’m not going to eat. I can live off this belly for six months at least,…

  • Food Has Turned

    I don’t smoke, drink, or use drugs to modify my mood. I eat. I am not just a recreational food user. Butter on coarse bread sedates me; sausage and cheese hops me up.Chocolate is an excellent drug and legal in all 50 states. Yesterday I was bored, and so was Gary, so we tried an…

  • Sad News

    I have never read more than a paragraph Sylvia Plath wrote. I know. I was busy going to church five times a week as a teenager, and I didn’t want to hear anything about depression, which was at the time in my mind synonymous with “sadness.” (Instead of its current synonym, “bat-shit craziness.” You know,…

  • Hi, I’m Larry, This Is My Brother Daryl Hannah, and My Other Brother Daryl Hannah

    I had a nice phone call with an old friend Melanie. Melanie and I catch up every few years or so. It’s nice because I get to see what some women can achieve when they have ambition and goals, of which I have none. It tickles me that Melanie seemingly has an interest flit through…

  • Birthday Dinner

    Because I am now a S_______, I ignore a person’s actual day of birth, so Gary’s March 20th birthday passed with no other event than I watched the conclusion of Battlestar Galactica at his side and tried not to ask any questions given I have never seen any other episode of the show. I can…
