who is the sick fuck that decided “ER” was entertainment? i’ve seen two episodes. granted, it was the same episode and i saw it twice. but it sucks. i guess becca from “life goes on” (now that was quality entertainment) gets stabbed by psycho patient guy. and she dies! it made me cry and cry [...]

so, so very sick. good news! the kidneys aren’t infected. seems my back pain stems from the constant, gut-wrenching coughing. the doctor said i had a cold, gee as if i didn’t know. he says if it’s not better in a week to come back. i told him if it’s not gone in a week, [...]

the phone rang late. interuptting yet another dream about trying to have sex. that’s the theme of the weekend, dreams about trying to have sex. the phone rang late and there was talk of moving and california and work killing me and giving up everything i own (even the new oven mitts) for someone to [...]

for the first time in my life i am a the proud owner of oven mitts. yes, i bought oven mitts. two of them. they were $4. they are plaid. i love them. if i could type with oven mitts on, you can bet your sweet bootie that i’d be wearing them right this very [...]

hi. i woke up at 8.am. this morning and thought it was tuesday. it wasn’t until i was in the shower that i realized it’s only saturday. boy, was i happy.
today is domestic day here in the jodiverse. i need to clean. i hate cleaning. i usually do more compulsive e-mail checking and random bloggering [...]

heh. this mcsweeny’s article,Strange and Obsessive Things I Did as a Kid, reminds me of some of the strange, obesessive things I did as a kid.
i too was obsessed with the encyclopedias and the tv guide. we had gobs of encyclopedias. three sets. i loved them all. in World Book encyclopedias, my favorites were [...]

happy thanksgiving!
thanksgiving isn’t really my holiday. well, the concept of giving thanks and whatnot is swell. . . but really, i am thankful everyday i get out of bed. so what’s that leave me with? turkey. ish. i don’t eat turkey anymore. well, not turkey in the form of a bird that’s roasted and basted [...]

yes! join the fight.nuts are sheer evil. bakiwop is right, they don’t belong in cookies or fudge.

tommy schmitt wore a donald duck sweatshirt to the bowling alley tonight. why on earth would a grown man wear a donald duck sweatshirt? also, he gave me a giant hershey candybar. i forgot the candybar in clyde.

utoh. i think i might have goofed something up. i think the combination of crap i’ve poured into my body hasn’t mixed well in my system. right now, i feel like i am hammered. rip-roaring drunk. i can’t decide what it could be. the echinacea? the tea? the hot cocoa? the diet pepsi?
you know how [...]

failed miserably at the whole “not leaving the apartment all weekend” thing. i was a going a little batty. i did, however, stay in the jammies. . . just threw some jeans on. the traditional chemical/robitussin/sudafed thing wasn’t doing jack for me. so i am trying the echinacea/tea-and-honey route. and if that doesn’t work. i [...]

grrr… it’s winter in minnesota. clyde’s heating system totally sucks and i think my cell (cubicle) is located just north of the arctic circle. i hate being cold all the time. i hate having nipples that never cease to be hard. my favorite pair of mittens have a hole in them. maybe it’s time to [...]

ok, i gotta share this one with y’all. i just got this in my inbox:
hi girlz
before i start, let me explain what is happening.i am emailing this message to two people. both of you are called gemma [actually my name is jodi]. but that is where the similarity ends.
one of u is 6′7 [actually i [...]

so, i’ve had a history of strange crushes. it probably started in first grade when i had a hankering for sean kendall. i often get crushes on men that most women don’t. some of my traditional obessessions have been Matt Dillon (and when i say i love matt dillon everyone thinks i am talking [...]

eddie mcquestion died last night. eddie was my favorite bowler. he retired last year after bowling at (what is now my parents’) bowling alley for 50 years. i cried last year when eddie handed me his locker key and said, “hey, now someone else can have this locker. i’m the only person whose had [...]
