In an effort to break loose from my uniform of long-sleeved t-shirts and stretchy pants, I bought a long black skirt. It’s long, covers me up, and isn’t sweats! Hurrah! Still, I haven’t worn a long skirt since my days playing Cecily from The Importance of Being Earnest in high school, so I was a little [...]
Barbie is turning fifty this year, making her the oldest teenager that I am aware of. Note Barbie’s humble beginnings: She looks like Lucille Ball on Valium, which is kind of cute in an ooky way. There was a lot of first-wave feminist hating on Barbie, which I get but also don’t get. I realize [...]
Um yeah, I know I can’t shut up about this volcano, but this is the most exciting thing that has happened to me since I bought my hamster. Well, not counting how easy it is to buy chocolate-covered marshmallow eggs this time of year. That’s exciting. But what’s really exciting and annoying is that the [...]
So I Googled “have you seen this cat it’s awesome” and this image is all over the InterWeb: Clearly, that cat is awesome, but is it as awesome as this cat? I’m torn.
I think I’ve made it clear how I feel about Marc Jacobs in the past. He is an evil genius that designs expensive, beautiful clothes for flat-chested girls and hangs out with Jennifer Lopez. You know, I feel like it’s time that Marc did something for The Rest Of Us. So here’s what we do: [...]
Mt. Redoubt erupted twice this morning. I have lost count of how many times it has erupted this week, but I guesstimate the number to be about 756. That’s what it feels like. There is still no ashfall forecasted for Anchorage, meaning that this volcano has erupted 756 times without giving me a day off of [...]
I walked to the park yesterday. When I was a kid, playgrounds consisted of mud and sticks and maybe a swing or two. But I happened upon a space playground. It was sort of overwhelming. I didn’t know what to do with half of the stuff there. I was pretty glad there weren’t any kids [...]
So I finally saw Twilight. I convinced Kurt to watch it with me, and boy, was it awful. Just terrible. It was contrived and silly in every way. It was utterly ridiculous and laughable. That being said, I loved it. It was perhaps the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. And it wasn’t even trying to [...]
Six eruptions… wow! Here is a real picture: But no ashfall in Anchorage, which means that Redoubt continues to be super-boring. To me, anyway.
Note: This is a photo of a previous eruption, not a photo of the 4 (and counting!) eruptions that have taken place tonight, which took place in the dark, sadly. It’s just to give you an idea of what happened. And to give you an idea of what might happen… Kidding! We’ll be fine. I hope.
