Where Do I Go From Here?
It is so god damned draining having to listen to my husband’s constant whining and dire predictions about his squad leader. Jeez, maybe if you stopped fucking worrying about what he was going to say and planning what you’d say in response, you’d actually enjoy life more…
How do you know when it’s time to leave someone you’ve pledged your life to? ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So how much of a problem is it if you aren't very good room mates with your spouse? We have such different ways of doing things. I suppose I need to compromise more, we do seem to do things "my way" more often than his, but quite frankly my standards are higher for some of this shit... I still probably need to compromise more.

Can-Openers I Have Known

I'm about a generation too young to have watched TOS when it was new, and it seems like whenever I see reruns of it, there's about a 50% chance of Tribbles, but I've never really gotten into the first Trek that ( Read more... ) -
If I Ever Have Children...
...I promise I wont do this. Also, I will never call my son Captain Muffinpants. I mean, seriously lady? Really? Well, okay. That's years of therapy right there. Let's just be glad this dad isn't so oblivious. -
Comfort Foods
I'm halfway through my dinner (I'll need to eat something else after, but it started out as dinner) and I realized that it's one of my comfort foods but I never knew it before. So I started thinking about what foods are "comfort foods" to me and why ( Read more... ) -
If I worked in these places, I don't know whether I'd laugh or have an ulcer
But reading about it from an outside standpoint is hilarious.

Linguistic LOLs
I'm in Korea. Yesterday I bought a suitcase that was made in China. It came with a lock (same brand as the suitcase) that has instructions in nothing but German. WTF?
