king bear, the cape, and women empowerment
so kappa walked into work a little late, he had to go to his daughter’s school and read to them. he read a book called The Little Tailor and then he told us about how he told the kids one of his own fairy tales called “King Bear.” kappa told us how when he goes [...]
Read morewe’re on the verge of becoming kathleen turner overdrive but for tonight we’re jodi jive and the uptown there-is-no-five
well, she’s here. i am calling her a she, thought the formal name is Kathleen Turner Overdrive. i will probably call her kathleen for short. i do, however, miss Roland and Roland II the Electric Boogaloo. but i am beginning to think that perhaps the name roland is cursed. and for her first song KTO [...]

i just got an e-mail from al, the cutest girl on earth™. she told me that the new iPod is sitting on my chair at work. i am at home. so i told her i’d come in and get it, as soon as A Different World was over. it’s the one where Whitley is supposed [...]

nobody told me that Dawson’s Creek was on TBS at 10 a.m. during the week, but i found out anyway! it was the one where Joey and Pacey do it for the first time, when they go on the Senior Ski Trip and Jen tries to make it with Jack and Dawson stays behind to [...]

“so what time do you want to leave tomorrow?” sister #2 asked last night when she called.
“i dunno, what time does the concert start?” i asked.
“eight, i think.”
“yeah, but we can skip the openers.”
“so what time?”
“well, some of my friends are gathering at O’Donovan’s before hand for a drink,” i said.
“are these westernerds?”
“uh, yeah. why?”
“why [...]
you have chlorophyll on your paws, you are dead to me
the biggest change with buying the house and moving in with sister #4 has to be the cats. we are two single women with four cats between us. that’s just so damn wrong. SO WRONG. i told her to get rid of her two, she’d only had them for a few months she couldn’t be [...]
Read morethe sisterclub’s unhealthy obsession with local tv personalities
when Paul Magers left KARE 11 last year. you would have thought it was the end of the world. seriously, i thought sisters #2 & #3 were going to go into mourning. but somehow they managed to bounce back. Sister #3 always said, well at least i still have Kenny. she has had a weird [...]
Read morereason #659 why you wouldn’t want to live with me or it’s beginning to look a lot like home
“is there a reason there’s a purple bra and a red bra hanging from the stairs?” sister #4 asked.
“ummm,” i said.
“so do you always just get undressed wherever the mood strikes?”
“yeah, kind of,” i said.
“ok, that’ll take some getting used to.”
goodbye, we hardly knew ye
i finally got my sad repair box to ship back frowny iPod face Roland II the electric boogaloo, back to apple. it’s a little sad. i think that, perhaps, the name Roland might be cursed. the new iPod will have a shinynew name that will, of course, promise new and good things for us. and [...]
Read moremonday morning eavesdropping
i am currently listening to a co-worker having a fight over the phone with his ex-wife regarding visitation with their kids. i feel a little dirty, eavesdropping like this. but i can’t help it. really, i can’t. i am, however, totally resisting the urge to giggle. so that’s got to count for something right?
“therapy [...]
say anything
charles said that i should say anything. i’m a little afriad that my personality got lost in the move. my weekend has been totally pointless and wonderful. the living room is perfectly unpacked and clean. i think i might move into just this one room. i cheaped out and picked up a lame cabinent for [...]
Read morethe problem of having nothing to say
it’s weird when you’re a writer and you have absolutely nothing to say. i always think it’s a little odd when i get an e-mail from someone who reads iwilldare.com, or meet someone who reads it and they say “your life is so interesting.” and i’m all, “how can it be? i do nothing.”
it’s also [...]
things i did not expect to say last night while babysitting the fabulous becker boys ages 3, 1, and 6 months
1. don’t put the straw in your ear
2. don’t hang upside down from the table
3. stop hitting your brother with the shelf
4. don’t put the baby’s nukkie in my shoe
4. close your eyes and i’ll kiss you, tomorrow i’ll miss you, i promise to always be true. and while i’m away, i’ll write home everyday, [...]
thre seamus-made nano for peewee
here it is! when i arrived at work on monday, after a week’s vacation, my Disco Stu headphones were plugged into this nano, that seamus had made. it’s playing, according to seamus, some sucky westerberg song from some sucky westerberg album. i think seamus missed me while i was gone.
Read moremy name is jodi and i’m a bad, bad tv watcher
so yes, i’m a terrible, rotten bad TV watcher. after all my giddy excitment about My Name is Earl starring my most-beloved Jason Lee, i missed it.
yes, i didn’t watch it. and if things keep going the way they are, i probably won’t ever watch it. which is just fine with me. why?
because last [...]
