my face is killing me

i feel like someone slammed my face in a car door. this can not be a good sign.

going back to the mall

when class ended on wednesday night, sweet rob handed out the “master” story we’d read for next week, our last class. “so who brought a story?” he asked. everyone looked down at their hands and tried not to make contact with anyone else. “i was supposed to,” Smel said. “but i didn’t. let’s just call [...]

nobody let the dogs out

i am happy to report that i actually went grocery shopping today (since last night for dinner i had potatoes and black olives) and there were packs of rabid dogs attacking nuns. i was a little nervous. instead i found the store filled with old ladies and, more importantly, diet coke with lime. phew. now [...]

shopping like cattle

well the sister club, the kidlings, and i finally made our pilgrimage to ikea, the valhalla of cheap, cool-looking junk. it was pretty much my very definition of hell. being trapped inside with the large population of the unwashed masses of minnesota. i shudder just recalling it. ok, it wasn’t actually THAT bad, but it [...]

Smel has to dare

every week after class we have a post-loft grumpfest (as damon has dubbed it), since FFJ has some serious issues to attend to, it’s usually damon, smel, and i. we have great gobs of fun during the grumpfest (well, when we’re not trying to avoid the marauding stand-up comedian). one of our favorite games at [...]

hard time letting go

vacationing does not come easy to superadultresponsible girl. i’m not sure what the problem is, as if the company will go under and everything will cease to exist in my abscene or something. maybe it’s because work called at 10 o’clock monday morning with an emergency only i could fix. maybe because i had to [...]

as far as i know

tonight i downloaded 3 minutes and 3 seconds of pure bliss. that’s right, a new st. paul westerberg song called “As Far as I Know.” and what i know so far is that is probably gonna be my new favorite song for the next month or so.

babybecker III

in unexpected expectant news, last night sister #3 announced that she’s expecting again. bring on another niece or nephew. secretly, or not so secretly, i’m hoping for a girl. princess jaycie needs a girlie cousin and, selfishly, it’s way easier for me to say nieces and nephews than niece and nephews. wahoo! a new baby.

canadian invasion day 2

today i got to take heather to her first chipotle experience ever, and caribou. it’s so sad to think of her living a life deprived by the wonderful cheapness of McMexican food and caribou chocolate coolers. why would anyone live in canada? each new thing she reveals stuns me more. i mean, i really thought [...]

and another thing

heather reminded me that i forgot to tell you how absolutely wonderful she was. . . even if she does think that things called Cheezies are actually different than Cheetos.

canadian invasion

well the tiny canuck invasion is complete. heather is here in my humble abode and she seems to be doing quite well with the filth. really, it’s not that bad and i told her we’d probably only remain friends if she didn’t ever, ever enter into the hellhole that i call a bedroom. so far, [...]

method to the cleaning madness

i am in the throes of cleaning up the jodiverse in preparation for the canadian invasion. it is so not fun. i should have just moved. perhaps, when it’s all clean i’ll give you a virtual tour of casa de supergenius. that is, if i survive that long. to make me a little more motivated [...]

manoeuvres

dream #1 can only be a manifestation of my hatred for grocery shopping. because in the dream i had decided to go grocery shopping at the world’s creepiest grocery store, which was wholly invented by my brain. as i was exiting ruby to go into the grocery store, a wild pack of dogs made a [...]
