last night’s convo
Loni: So, there was a Facebook post about Dubstep … Becky and Lamar: Ewwwww. Loni: No, wait, hear me out! So everyone’s debating about the merits of Dubstep … Becky: …of which there are none.

Read Moreding dong (you know the rest)
I don’t usually make blog space for DICKtators, their regimes, demises, nor general loathsome despot-icity. However, I must comment upon the passing of N0rth K0rea’s leader. He was responsible for the horrifying and ongoing brainwashing of an entire nation, and for countless deaths of human beings. He sure is fun to make fun of, and the…
Read Morebest-looking cowboy in the whole parade
Midnight Cowboy is a flick to revisit. It’s a little flawed but its utter weirdness, it’s late-60s-ness, and clothing/set design is worth it! I re-found M.C. through a mini Dustin Hoffman marathon, who I am appreciating the thespian talents of more and more. He’s really good in this, hard to believe he’s a humble Angeleno,…

I’m semi-seriously taking a picture of this bouquet, just in case the Elderly Relative gets frisky and throws them out, as he has done before. Actually, he’d have to act fast, they’re destined for a party that I’m attending this evening. A party I had to miss last year due to a hard-driving rain and…

Clam is not happy. Clam is having major depression issues. Seasonal … what is it? Seasonal Affect Disorder, except the…

Allow me to point you, with elegant, begloved hand, in the direction of this article, Dita Von Teese: What I Wore. Dita, for those of you who don’t know, is a famous neo-burlesque performer, a very elegant clotheshorse, and not above A. appearing on America’s Next Top Model, or B. marrying Marilyn Manson. I acknowledge…

(written at 9pm on tuesday) That’s me, right now! Good god, Photo Booth is one creepy program, not only for the horrifying effects but its ability to mimic what I’m feeling in my very soul. What’s left of my rational mind is here to tell the rest of my mind, which is currently crazytime brainjelly,…

Becky: i apologize to everyone on whom i inflicted my brownies-with-peppermint frosting this weekend. they were so tooth-achingly sweet, i think i made new inroads into chemical engineering. Josh: om nom vomit Katie: I wish I had been abused by you! Those sound yummy! Stacey: They do sound good. Delicious. Amanda: Luckily i had a…
Read Moreunleashing the story, deflating its power
I’m taking an emotional U-turn and discussing a sad subject today. I haven’t told this story to more than a couple people, but now seems the time to tell it, and let it go. A friend posted this depressing article from the New York Times website, The Twice-Victimized of Sexual Assault. I am frustrated and…
