  • Cruise update!

  • Let Us Arise and Go Now, and Go to Miami

    I am back from Atlanta and as promised, I did spend the plane flight preparing for the next trip: the one to Miami to catch the cruise. I made a list of things to bring, and more important, a list of things to leave behind. Gary didn’t make this second list. That is why he…

  • Spunky Labia, World Traveler

    I foolishly said to Hot Mom (aka Friend #32) that I had had a very busy weekend, then Tuesday I’m going to [see my luvvah Anderson Cooper in] Atlanta, then I [whine] had to fly out to Miami and go on the Barenaked Ladies Ships-n-Dip Cruise, [sigh], and I just didn’t know how I was…

    Yet Another Very Special Guest Post

    Greetings, I am . Call me Sitaar. I live here in Saint Louis now with fellow guitars Uncle and Blondie. I came from a Muslim household in the West where I have lived since I came from the factory. I stayed there until the lovely Arzaana-Fay decided she had no musical talent. (“None. She’s awful,”…

  • In Which I Realize I Am Old

    When I was eighteen or so, I worked at the local library as a page. Pages occupy their time by flirting with each other and restocking books. The restocking cut in on our flirting time, so we resented anyone whom checked books out. This library job would be great, we agreed, except for these darn…

  • Memeing … My Brain Huuuurts

    Okay, thisis a hybrid post – half something that haopoend todaym half meme. (YES, I know I need an MRI. That sentence was typed so badly I felt I should keep it in its original state.) Anyway, here’s a hybrid post, because I just didn’t get enough sleep last night. I didn’t get enough sleep…

  • A Feel-Bad Movie

    Tonight Gary and I discussed the movie selections on the TiVo. “Ellen … what is Sophie’s Choice doing on the TiVo?”“It’s supposed to be a really good movie. I’m saving it.”“So can we watch it tonight?”“No, I don’t feel like a depressing movie tonight.”“Okay…well, there’s Midnight Cowboy?““Neh. Downer.”“Oh, here we go! Happy Feet is on…

  • Slippery Fit

    We finalized some Christmas shopping Saturday night at about 5 or 6 pm. It was not snowing. We emerged from a completely insane trip to a nature store (insane, as in I am now the proud owner of a Gandalf staff) to a blizzard. It was then we found that the new Honda Fit is…

  • In Which I am Validated by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

    Last Friday night, Friend #3 and I were in my car. “Oh! Oh!” I said, “You have to hear this song. I was all into this song a few months ago and for some reason I heard it again and I’ve listened to nothing else for two days now.” I jumped back to the beginning…

  • Social Butterfly

    Here is what happens when you decide early not to throw a yearly tea party. The week the party would have been: 1. You attend the company Christmas party and enjoy it. 2. You attend the Yearly Company Lunch and enjoy it. 3. You attend Friend #1 Catherine the Red’s birthday party and enjoy it…
