Dear George W. Bush, the honorable members of Congress, and the executives at NBC, CBS, and ABC, how dare you! sister #4 is hopping mad. mad, i tell you. she’s been bitching for the past 20 minutes about how the ‘stupid’ president has to go and ruin everything. Mr. President, don’t you realize that Love [...]
so kelly and i just got an e-mail from the vodo (aka sweet rob) asking us to bring in stories for the first night of class on thursday. i am, of course, beaming. i think kelly is too. mostly because she sent me an ‘oh my god’ e-mail at about the exact same time i [...]
since i never ever got the red robot keychain that i desired with my entire soul, you should take the money you saved and go buy some truffles from team boobylicious. you don’t even have to send them to me, you can eat them yourself. it’s for a good cause. plus, who doesn’t love chocolate [...]
so Nance, a writing buddy of mine tagged me to write 10 interesting facts about myself. as she said, “Feels a little uncomfortable, but that’s what writing is all about–putting yourself out there! so i’m gonna get right out there. not that i’m one to hide anything really. 1. i am a 6’5″ woman. my [...]
today was a most glorious monday. astoundingly glorious, and as the day went on it got better and better. suddenly at like 2 p.m. seamus and kappa decided to go to dairy queen. so yeah, blizzards in the middle of the day? on a monday? good thing. then there was FFJ’s decision that we should [...]
i think kathleen turner overdrive is mocking me. playing ‘turning japanese’ right after ‘makin’ whoopee!’ yeah, even my iPod thinks it’s funny that i can’t seem to get laid.
my friend jason once told me i have a trademark jodi smirk. i call it my smarmy crushgrin. it’s a smile that cannot be kicked off my face and it totally tells everyone that i have something good on my mind and i’m not gonna tell you. so when i’m working the smarmy crushgrin i [...]
i woke up this morning singing everyone else has had more sex than me. even my subconcious is getting a bit depressed about our lack of action. this is a bit ironic because today’s album of the day is Weezer’s “Pinkerton.” and the song i am currently listening to is “i’m tried of sex.” which [...]
kelly recently asked where in the hell the 2006 Reading Plan was. well, it’s been in my head and on my nightstand. but i have been entirely too lazy and/or busy to update the left over there. i have to admit RP2005 was a miserable failure. i started out really well, but ended terribly. there [...]
litline names the 100 Best First Lines from Novels (via largehearted boy).
while cleaning house this afternoon, sister #4 came across a box of stuff my mom had brought over. in the box, sister #4 found matching t-shirts that my mom had bought for us. for some reason these shirts make me laugh non-stop. could they be any dorkier?
“hello dan patch lanes,” i said into the phone as i made change for opie’s bud light. “hi,” a nine or ten-year-old boy said. “do you have ummm, ten-pound balls?” “yes, we do,” i said. “oh, ummm,” he said. there were giggles in the background. “it’s a girl,” he said to the gigglers. “ok, thanks.’ [...]
tonight sister #2 and the stink are at the guthrie, leaving me to wrangle the children. it’s not been a good night. princess jaycie had a double helping of grumpy. she walked in crying and hasn’t seemed to stop. she just had a meltdown because max wanted to watch unwrapped on the food network and [...]
so i totally ditched out of work early to go get my hair cut. which would seem all good and fine especially because i hauled ass out of bed at like 6:30 in the a.m. to be there for an 8 a.m. meeting. and, because the crazy canucks at the mothership were supposed to be [...]
the McLusky song “She Will Only Bring You Happiness” just came on Kathleen Turner Overdrive and all of sudden like a kick in the gut, i missed the TTHM so much that my eyes started to water. so i e-mailed him. i hope he responds.
