This darling owl was a Christmas gift from my mother. I picked him out and suggested to Mom that he would make a nice gift, and then forgot all about him until Christmas morning. I think he’s pretty darn cute. The sticker on the bottom says Kotobuki, which is a trading company based out of [...]
My poor baby, trapped with no hope of escape! Petunia came over for a visit the other day, and Wiscious decided that there was only room for one princess at our house, and she wasn’t about to abdicate the throne. She hissed at my poor baby, chased her around, and was an atrocious hostess in [...]
I am not ashamed to say that this made me cry like a baby, as will anything that involves animals behaving more humanely than humans. Also, I want to get a pet elephant for Petunia.
I watched “Butterfield 8″ today, which kinda… sucked. I suppose that’s blasphemy, but it’s true, and Liz Taylor would back me up on that. She and Eddie Fisher referred to it as “Butterball 4″. It was rather melodramatic and prudish, although I was surprised that it included the words “slut” and “sex”. That being said, La [...]
Around 10:00 PM, I said something horrid like, “I’d club a baby seal for a cup of coffee,” and a moment later I hear the coffee grinder, and a few minutes after that, he brings me a steaming cup of joe. What a fella. P.S. Under no circumstance would I actually club a baby seal. [...]
I was nervous for my pottery class today, since I haven’t taken an art class since um, 1996. I read the syllabus online before class and that made me even more nervous, since the recommended prerequisites were drawing and handbuilt ceramics, and I have all the drawing skills of a preschooler. But the professor said [...]
It has occurred to me that perhaps I like Katy Perry because she looks so much like my #1 Girl Crush, Zooey Deschanel. They both make music, and although I enjoy Ms. Katy’s warblings, Zooey is in a class of her own. Her debut album is so insanely delightful that I don’t have words to [...]
I know I’m not the first one to notice this, but how freaking cute is Katy Perry? I love that she just wears what she wants. The top outfit is maybe a little more Eva Peron than pop star, but somehow on her it works. She’s always rocking the playsuits, and if I had [...]
Will somebody please invite me to a party, a really fancy party, so that I have an excuse to buy this dress? It’s from Armani’s pre-fall collection, and out of a sea of well-cut suits comes this gorgeous little number that I can’t afford and have no place to wear anyway. Still, there’s something about the simplicity [...]
When I saw this in the grocery store I was perturbed. I was upset. I fought my vomit reflex. But mostly I was curious. What is a golden flavor nugget? Why a nugget? Why not a good old-fashioned cube? And if you look carefully, you can see that there’s a little sparkle on the nugget. [...]
