New friend

June 18th, 2009

Say hello to the newest addition to the menagerie: Ok, she is not really ours but we are hoping that she will stick around this summer. Her name is Jemima Bushy-Tail. You know how I knew she was a lady squirrel? No nuts! Ha! Get it? Yeah I know. I’m lame. She let me get really close [...]

In which I rant extensively on the importance of manners

I get it, ok? People are stressed out. We work all day and still can’t pay the bills. We don’t get enough sleep or exercise. We don’t eat right. When we’re not at work we’re dealing with work from our Blackberries. The world is an expensive bureaucratic nightmare. It’s not fair and it doesn’t make [...]

Pushing Daisies

I’ve been going through a lot of stuff lately: personal stuff, family stuff, financial stuff, pet stuff… but maybe the most devastating blow was that last night, I saw the last episode of Pushing Daisies ever. EVER. There will never be another one, and you can thank the sick, sorry bastards at ABC for that. And [...]

New Moon

Remember how I hated totally loved Twilight? I just saw the preview for New Moon. Wow, am I horrified excited!                Ok, obviously this is going to be just as amazingly cheesy as Twilight, but I was under the impression that Jacob was supposed to be a WEREWOLF, not a wolf. Can I get that in [...]

I am a HUGE fan of Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory. Huge. I am secretly in love with Rob, and if it doesn’t work out with Rob, I’ll take his cousin, Drama, because he’s just as funny. This show makes me cry from laughing so hard, seriously. Like the time Rob got attacked by a shark [...]

Let’s start the new week off right with some Gene Kelly, shall we? That man was tap dancing in roller skates. Now I love Fred Astaire and all, but I love Gene Kelly even more, and not just because he was handsomer. Gene Kelly was an ATHLETE, and he pulled some pretty amazing moves that I’m [...]

She bangs, she bangs

She bangs, she bangs

Oh yes I did just quote Ricky Martin. And you liked it. Before. And after. I apologize for the quality of the photos. I am blaming it on the light because I am pretty sure that I did not actually go from jaundiced to peaches-and-cream-bordering-on-red in one day. I was very foolish brave and cut the bangs [...]

Hilarious.

To bang or not to bang?

I have been trying to grow my hair out for 10 years. It has never gotten past my shoulders. There are lots of reasons for this. I used to dye my hair black, and when I decided to quit, I had to chop it out. I got a Pat Benatar mullet (which was awesome, by [...]

Winged beasts

June 3rd, 2009

Anchorage has hundreds of miles of beautiful trails, but I hardly ever go out on them alone because I have a crippling fear of bears/moose/homeless people drunk on Listerine. This fear is not unfounded. People have run-ins with bears/moose/homeless people on Anchorage trails all the time. Last summer, the bears were in a state of revolt, attacking [...]
