Detachment

Although it was a long time ago, it’s still chilling to read a chronicle of your friend’s suicide written with such matter-of-factness as if it were the minutes to an HOA treasury meeting or something equally banal.  The inclusion of such personal details, such as the chocolate chip cookies, make it even stranger.  And I don’t even [...]

Small Hands…Smell Like Cabbage

I have, rather unexpectedly, finally got an evening to myself!  We were on our way to pick up Richard’s brother from the airport, but received a phone call* that turned us right back around, so now I’m back home with a bit of spare time for a change.  Richard’s brother was flying in from Australia [...]

World’s #1 Dad

From the brilliant mind of my friend Pancho, this story cracked me up today:
Snubbed
Mazzy is a teenager. Actually, her first birthday was in July so I’m not quite sure where she stands in dog years, but she’s already acting the moody, aloof part of a teenage girl. When it’s just the two of us everything is cool, [...]

Wedding Favors

I don’t write much about our wedding planning here, mostly because this blog is intended as a place where I can indulge my creative and random sides.  Blogging about the wedding planning I’ve been doing for the last year would read more like a To Do list, and I don’t suppose that’s terribly interesting to anyone [...]

Dzien dobry! Nazywam sie Elzbieta.

There was a fierce tranny in my local Starbucks this morning. She looked like a young Amanda Lepore, complete with huge red lips, long blonde hair and kicky stilettos. I’m not quite sure [...]

John Cleese Has Seen Better Days

This was my website o’ the day:  http://tbshumorstudy.com/main.html
I highly encourage utilization of the “Funny Movie Maker” tool as well as the “Wallpaper Generator,” if you’re like me and the only means you have of making your drab, claustrophobic, office existence bearable is by creating a desktop that looks like something Napoleon Dynamite vomited after eating [...]

Birth of a Blog

So.  This is a blog.  Alright.
Richard got back from Manhattan yesterday night and we celebrated with Indian food at Nirvana.  Never been there before, but the food was much better than my usual haunt (Shiva).  Sorry, Shiva.  You still have the coolest Buddha-head mural this side of Kirby.
Today, I’m sick.  It’s unrelated to the Indian [...]
