When smart people do stupid things
Are You F-ing Kidding Me? I seem to be surrounded by loved ones who, despite college degrees and a reasonable ability to dress themselves each morning, are doing the most godawful f-ing stupid things. First, I just had a visit from my friend Alan, who being English is about as bone-white as you can possibly…

Read MoreWell, who am I to argue with the Urban Dictionary?
Randee Can't say I'm keen on the tags (go to the page if you wanna see for yourself), or the spelling of the person who wrote it up, but you know, I won't fight the "definition."
Read MoreThank you!
To everyone who posted here, on LJ or elsewhere, thank you so much for your posts! I've determined to donate a fair bit to my local library more than what actually got posted here, but that was kind of the plan all along. ($50 was my thought.) Let's do it again soon, and thank you…

Home for books! So, I'm carrying this over from LiveJournal, though I'm sure it's spreading all over the universe. Consider this a kind of sponsorship, the way people sponsor walkers when they hoof it for a good cause. Only neither one of us actually has to do anything — you just have to comment, I…

Today I have been assaulted by poor spelling. I've come to learn to live with this. The fact is that most people can't spell, or don't give a shit about checking, so you end up with ignorance that spreads like rancid icing over a freshly-baked cake. But when it comes from supposedly reputable sources, I…

Adam Sing it, brother. Yeah, he's loud and can be obnoxious, but I'm a carryover fan of Adam Carolla's from his "Loveline" days with Dr. Drew (on whom I had an unseemly crush for some time). Adam's been doing this great morning show with KLSX in Los Angeles for a while, and I stumbled upon…

For Love of Chair Now that I read the morning paper at the dining room table like a) a normal person b) a person of leisure, Ciara has taken to joining me on a nearby chair. Largely, I sense, because my leftover food sits waiting for the sink and she's hoping to get involved before…

One of these days I'll have a TV in the same room as my computer (or my TV and my computer will have made sweet, sweet love and joined together in holy matrimony) and I'll be able to liveblog "Rock of Love Bus." Since I can't, I'll just have to scamper off to watch it…
