who needs sleep?
i think i might have done this once before, but you know? who couldn’t use more musical goodness from supergenius headquarters?
1. The person (or persons) who passed the baton to you.
the totally titillating tantalizing tito
2. Total volume of music files on your computer.
i’m not at my computer right now, i’m [...]

today the sun is shining and i’m spinning some singable songs as i copywrite, copywriter, and then copywrite a little more. i feel so good though because the hell project that took up 3 weeks of my time and most of my sleep has disappeared. it’s not done, but i don’t have to do it [...]

i’ve been up since 5:19 a.m. how pathetic is that? i just woke up, my body said ‘enough with the sleep.’ and here i am. showered, coiffed, caffeinated and wondering if showing up to work early would totally ruin my she doesn’t get here until 9:20 reputation. i don’t want to set some sort of [...]

while i am still in love with the swivel glide vision, its beauty was not quite enough to get me to clean the entire apartment. see i got the living room looking all spiffy and then things fell apart. one, because i got really hungry and realized that maybe i should be hungry because it’s [...]

i have met my one true love, its name is swivel glide vision
for so long i have searched for love
for that one thing that would make all this cleaning
nonsense make sense
and now i have found it
its name is swivel glide vision and i love it.

first: so yeah, a new look to an old, tired site. i haven’t decided if i like the gianourmous header or not. it might be a little too ‘hey look at me’ and not enough ‘hey, here i am entertain me.’ the jury is still in deliberations.
second: i shopped my ass of yesterday with [...]

in John Irving’s Hotel New Hamsphire one of the characters kills herself by leaping out of an open window. it’s been nearly a dozen years since i’ve read Irving’s novel, but i think she kills herself because she has writer’s block or something. at least, that’s what i’ve decided. I might have to add Hotel [...]

top 7 reasons to not throw myself off a bridge on the way home tonight:
1. c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, the new paul westerberg song i’m thinking of making it my new theme song
2. i’d be leaving behind a half-full bag of cheetos and an entire unwatched disc of dawson’s creek
3. i am really happy that my [...]

chances are you missed the social event of the deacade if you weren’t at the elegant supergenius headquarters in love prior lake, minnesota last night.
attendees to last night’s gala included madison, sheathed in a stripey orange and white number, paco in sophisticated shiny black, and the supergenius herself in an orange t-shirt and underpants.
the festivities [...]

like the sun my personality has been hidden behind clouds for most of the month of may. the insomnia has gotten the better part of me and i’m a washed out photo of my usually sunny self. i’ve turned to wilco & billy bragg for comfort. Mermaid Avenue is like my favorite sweater and a [...]

work has been kicking my ass in all the way that i forgot that it could kick my ass. it’s kind of nice in a comforting, oh yeah this is what it’s like to be relied on to do your job. i kind of missed it, even though i haven’t missed the stress induced insomnia [...]

i’m in the process of catching another cold. i’m surprised i’ve managed to go unplague-ridden so long. both jess and al, the cutest girl on earth™, have had the plague in the past few weeks and now i think the germs have jumped the hallway and infected me.
i think. i can’t quite tell. i’ve [...]

so it never fails, that when i make some grand pronouncement about my not watching TV, i spend the entire night, in effect, watching TV. sure it’s TV on DVD and i did specify how that is an exception the rule that i made, but still.
i’m a little nervous because the very next episode [...]

today, i have become obsessed with finding new linens for my bedroom. i like the ones i have, in their flannely goodness, but i’ve decided that i’d like a short break from the spaceman spiff theme of my bedroom. i’m a 32 (almost 33) year-old woman, it might be time to have a bedroom that [...]

last night at book club george (a woman… all the people in bookclub are women) kept putting her hand up and saying “get behind me satan” to me. first it was because i brought cookies. then because i didn’t watch TV (FFJ’s admission, not mine, i’ve learned my lesson). we were laughing so hard at [...]
