Opened yesterday's mail to find this pic on the cover of a flyer from Lane Bryant (I later read online that they call it a "magalog" which is just another reason to cancel my card with them, if you ask me):

You've missed a few BWA HA HA moments in our house lately and I've been trying to remember to blog about things Unk said lately that made me go LOL. I had three "food conversations with Unk" I was going to share with you, but I can only remember 1. *sigh* The mind is the first thing to go ( Read more... )

Recently, I was in a situation where I was forced to think about my extreme dislike for Burger King. I can't remember what I was doing or why I thought it needed to be traced, but imagine my surprise when I "remembered" why I disliked it so! Even more recently I was in a Facebook conversation where I had to type it and thought, "oh yeah, I can ( Read more... )

I guess I wrote this and never actually clicked the "post" button. I could just toss it, but I might as well have it here so I can link back to it. Basically, here's my essay on "I don't care what he does in his personal life" and (former) Representative Anthony Weiner ( Read more... )

Old BookCrossers may remember this chit-chat thread, which just took me about 20 minutes to find using the "new" search feature on BC. It took long enough that I decided to condense the BBB part because it entertained me, and I talk about it periodically.

It's your Top 9 America, and I can't pause and re-wind so what you get is what you get. And I have no idea what Steven Tyler was doing at the top of the show. Very weird.

Will.i.am is the coach this week. Interesting. I thought it was "rock-n-roll" week, but it's Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame week. Got it?

As many of you know, I decided I wasn't going to watch American Idol this year. I had decided enough was enough, and that between the shark-jumping and the time wastiness, I should stop blogging the show. And I've successfully avoided the current season! I mean, I really have! I haven't watched any of it (cutting some of the cable/HD DVR helps ( Read more... )

My good friend miketroll knows my love language, and made sure I saw this post on the FAILBlog this week. It seemed appropriate to post for MARCH FORTH. Well ... appropriate with my edits below, of course.
