Yellow Wallpaper

Houston, we have walls. More accurately, my office has walls. It looks so solid in there without that cheapass seventies blonde paneling. For those of you who are involved in home repair and are considering paneling, just put down the staple gun and no one will get hurt. I am very very excited about my […]

The Best of Intentions

Things are crazy at Casa Weetabix right now. I had grand plans for the weekend, as I have not yet truly recovered from the previous weekend craziness. I wanted to finish up some of my own projects and maybe do some shopping, but as it turned out, I was not the master of my destiny, […]

Smupdate

A quick update on past storylines (is that what you call it? Hey, it’s my life here; it’s not a ‘storyline’ or whatever, as though the DiMera’s have hatched an evil plot to be foiled by one of the Brady’s sleuthing brood or something): Ward and Esteban fixed the dryer in about fifteen minutes. I […]

Verbal Flatulence

The woman who lives on the other side of my cubicle has verbal diarrhea. She also feels the need to narrate her entire day to no one in particular. She will also just stand up and lob non-sequiturs over our cursed three-quarter wall and because I am facing my computer to do a quaint little […]

Betelgeuse Betelgeuse Betelgeuse

We drive up the Bay in the dark, 80’s music playing on the blue lighted cd deck, OMD pleading with us that if we were to leave, we shouldn’t leave now and take their hearts away. We’ve got the sunroof open even though it’s a nippy 50 degrees. The night sky is clear and Perseus […]

Furcht

I had a lovely weekend, as weekends go. On Thursday evening, Penny, Carissa and I went out for fondue and martinis and laughter to celebrate Penny’s impending nuptials. I had taken off on Friday in anticipation of The Bar That Is Badness, but Penny had too many wedding things to do and begged off, so […]

I’m not exactly sure what a parsec is, however.

I screwed up my geekly wife duties. I preordered the Star Wars DVDs from Amazon but chose free shipping, and therefore while all of Esteban’s friends were furtively stroking their Star Wards DVDs in darkened rooms, ours was in a warehouse somewhere in Kentucky. Each day, Esteban would ask ‘Maybe we’re getting the DVDs today. […]

Awash with Squash

I’m in a weird cooking mood, undoubtedly stirred up by the cooler temperatures. Last week, I bought two teensy eggplants at the farmer’s market, for no reason other than the fact that they looked really cute. They were just so’ wee! And also, I sort of love the way eggplants look. They are a very […]

Dear John Letter

Dear John Kerry, I like you, ok? I know that you’re essentially running on the “I’m not Bush” campaign and truth be known, I voted for primal scream therapy enthusiast Howard Dean in the Wisconsin primary, but by then, the nomination had already been thrust into your surprised hands like a hot potato. But still. […]

Antagonist

Over the weekend, I took my little brother Jonathon to my stylist Stacy to get a cool Jimmy Fallon haircut and eradicate the horrid Costcutters ‘Gee, Wally, maybe we should tell Mom about Whitey knocking over that liquor store’ bowl cut. He’s all stoked, especially when he walked in and Stacy looked at him and […]
