it’s true

OH MY GOD IT’S TRUE. Felt is deep throat. i am shocked. you will have to stay tuned to to sister #2′s reaction because it’s bound to be a good’un. i can’t wait to get home to read all about this. work is seriously cramping my style today.

a lunchtime conversation about deep throat

“did you see the article in the times?” i said to sister #2 as soon as she picked up the phone. “nah, ben just sent me the headline,” she said. “do you think it’s really him?” i asked. “no way,” she said. “why would he come forward as deep throat then?” i asked. “i dunno, [...]

enclyopedia brown and the case of the missing wallet

i lost my wallet. it has everything in it. driver’s license, credit cards, cash cards, cash, three good fortunes from various fortune cookies, my checkbook. most everything i need to get by in life. this would be a totally alarming development had i realized it was lost before it was found. i got a call [...]

in seven days i will be 33 and still alone

the sunshine and warm weather is mocking me. i’m in a pissed off and crabby sort of mood. it’s like the black sundayness of last night has leaked over into today. i’m bored and restless and it’s my fault because i decided today would be the one day of the long weekend that i would [...]

bizarre time warp

this is hayden and bailey (poor bailey always has to wear blue so we can keep track of who is who). they are jodi hanson’s (unofficial sister #5) 3.5 year-old twins. words cannot express how utterly eerie it is to look into these two identical faces. it’s eerie because they look exactly, exactly, exactly like [...]

the love ‘em and leave ‘em girl

today, on my way home from work, i fell in love. it was love at first site. i was getting all prepared to do my passive-aggressive minnesota swear and say bad things about him, when the little black s10 passed me on highway 18. but then i got a glimpse at the back of the [...]

look at the eyelashes on that kid

before venturing the florist with sisters #3 and #4 (aka bridezilla), i got to hang for a bit with my youngest nephews cade, nolan, and liam. it did my heart good. seeing a 3-year-old’s face break into a smile the minute he sees you just makes everything worth while. and the adventure to the florist’s [...]

yeah, so it’s raymond carver’s birthday and i think he’s pretty damn rad

sometimes i have a hard time putting words to how much a piece of art means to me. it’s like when i try to describe what paul westerberg’s music does to me. . . i just get all schmoopy-eyed and stuttery. it’s sort of like elvis costello said (it was costello, right?) “writing about music [...]

oh apothecary i hope thy drugs are quick

my general ‘just say no to drugs’ sort of stance on life sort of goes out the door the minute i get a cold. i used to try to brave it and get through it using only orange juice and threats to the great god above that if i don’t get better soon i will [...]
