All right this is really bugging me ( Read more... )

Is the economy getting better or something? Cause I just had another person quit on me, once again to take an apparently better job. "The recruiter said a lot of people just give one week notice." Oh, did she? So I'm kind of back to doing three jobs again, one of which involves math.  Also they're already predicting we might get shut down for ( Read more... )

I've been wanting to update since forever, but I'm kind of doing two jobs right now (well three, but I'm back down to two on Monday) and I'm almost too exhausted to read, much less write.  I get ideas for fabulous posts during my commute, then I get home and want to cuddle the cats and bake scones instead.  Christmas was nice and this is probably ( Read more... )

So I saw the Strangers With Candy movie and it wasn't all that great. It really needs to be in the shorter after-school special kind of format, and I missed the "doo dooo-dooo-dooo doo" vocal stylings that lead to the commercial breaks. It has this great part though, where her crush theme song is "Float On," by the Floaters. Do you know that ( Read more... )

Barb sent me a link to the Talking Cat video and I laughed so hard I cried and now most of my makeup is gone.

So not only is Amy Sedaris' I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence hilarious and fun to read, I just tried my first recipe from it and it turned out great.  Don't know if Amazon lets you link directly to a page in the online reader, but here it is: yogurt spa-ghetti.  (It's "spa"ghetti cause it's featured in a chapter about having a spa night ( Read more... )

Has everyone finally figured out how great chicken thighs are to cook with?  Suddenly, they are no longer cheap at the store.  Damn!

What has high fructose corn syrup done to us?  I read a theory like this and I know she's just talking off the top of her head but it's got just enough of a ring of truth to it.

I'm embarrassed to admit how much I can relate to this except in my case instead of saying "Sure is raining, huh?"  I said "That's where we keep our rare books" and oh gawd I did NOT make the "air quotes" when I said the word "rare."  Oh wait, yes I did.  This shit just never gets any easier, does it?

Tallahassee Econolodge is the Molly Sanders of Overcompensating. This isn't a bad thing, they just remind me of one another.  Speaking of Molly, I'm wondering if we're ever going to get to see "The Story of Molly Sanders" as was implied.  Maybe that was just a joke.  

I would gladly pay $18.99 +tax for a recording of Roisin Murphy reading the phone book.  Doesn't matter which phone book.  Maybe something Irish.

There's a new issue of Finder starting up.

I thought the world of handmade stuffed animals had nothing left in it to surprise and delight me, but I was wrong.  Kipling West kinda rules, no matter what the ( Read more... )
