Queen Mediocretia of Suburbia

Putting the TMI in absentminded

Month: December 2012

  • Concert

    A slightly freaky thing happened at the concert last night. Gavin DeGraw, who we agreed was the most engaging of all the acts, got teary musing on stage about the Connecticut killings. He said how outraged he was. The crowd applauded in support. He said he was angry. The crowd applauded in support. He said…

  • Now they have camera blocking white lights too

  • Duuuuude.

    I didn’t even know there was a sublingual pot spray for MS. And now I can’t use it. Damn. LONDON (Reuters) – There is little evidence to back the use of a cannabis extract spray made by GW Pharmaceuticals for spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis, according to a… report in the Drug and Therapeutics…

  • Brothers and Sisters

    I think of my brother every day. Mainly because he calls me every fucking day, but on days like this I think of the brother I had when I was young. He was four before they began trying to determine what was wrong with him. He met with some specialist who was so impressed with…

  • WARNING: DISTURBING IMAGES OF AN EYEBALL.

    I left at three to take the dog for a checkup. (FYI, the dog is skinnier than he has been in years; maybe his butt just looks big because the rest has shrunk.) I stopped off to say good bye to Marcia. This is Marcia, in case you haven’t seen her in the last one…

  • Alanis Jilts Gary

    Sometime this summer I asked Gary, “Hey, do you want to go see Alanis Morissette in December? She’s playing a show with Train and other people.” He responded, “YES YES WE LOVE ALANIS!” “Even since she sold out and stopped howling her songs?” “Yes!” And then he downloaded one of her concerts and played it…

  • Passage of Time

    Mac the Dog the last time you saw him: Mac the Dog today: He’s an old dog. Now, I know that’s a unflattering view. He’s pissed at me because I stayed late at work and Gary hasn’t even started for home yet. His butt says I CAN’T EVEN LOOK AT YOU. That makes his butt…

  • Colonoscopy Update!

    Two things. One. I knew that polyp looked to angelic to be cancerous. It is offically non-cancerous, just as it looked. I think my colon was just bored. Two. I mentioned to Gary this morning that after five days, the Colon Factory has resumed normal operations and is again producing poo, so, “My colon isn’t…

  • A Reasonable Person

    It’s nice to know that the “reasonable person standard” is used to make decisions in many areas of life. I’m happy that when a court has its final say, ultimately every delicate flower is supplanted by a stodgy reasonable person. You know what isn’t reasonable? Killing yourself because you got punked. “A nurse duped by…

  • Cootie Pits

    Today I was able to fit in my 2 minute shower after Gary’s 45 minute shower. I showered while he was toweling off. In fact, he’d just finished toweling off while I applied some deodorant. Then, instead of capping the deodorant, I handed it to him because he needed it next. “AARRRGGHHH! WHAT ARE YOU…
