Wolfdog asked: Have you had moments you were considering giving up iwd.com? If so, explain… Of course, but mostly only in extremely moments of intense brattiness.

I just did a little bit of googling to see if I couldn’t find anything anything exciting that happened on July 31st. Apparently this is not a very exciting day, probably because it’s too damn hot to do anything. Some of the Historical Happenings that I found included: 1975 Jimmy Hoffa Disappears 2000 Be With [...]
“I thought if I was really tired I wouldn’t cry,” I said. “I knew that if I was really tired I would cry,” Sister #4 said. “There’s no reason to cry,” I said. “This is a good thing.” “I know. You’re just the last one,” she said. “Just remember you’re not missing out on anything [...]
The boxes are gone and Supergenius Headquarters is littered with the remants of Sister #4. It’s a mess, a melancholy mess to be sure. It’s bittersweet, I cannot deny that.

What’s your favorite Elton John guilty pleasure song?
Last night, Max announced that he really needed a blog. “What would you write on a blog?” I asked. “I’d use the keyboard Aunt Jodi,” he said, air-typing. “No,” I said. “What would you write about?” “I’d write about saving the earth, and president bush and I’d mostly put pictures of cute animals up.” “Someone [...]
So, you be the judge is Jay saying “noyg noyg noyg” or is he saying “noinch noinch noinch?”
When work gets so busy and so stressful to the point that I can’t breathe, I just repeat this little rap to myself over and over: fuck fuck fuck mother mother fuck mother mother fuck fuck mother fuck mother fuck noyg noyg noyg one two one two three four noyg noyg noyg schmokin’ weed schmokin’ [...]
For the past three weeks, Sister #2 and I have spent each Monday evening at the Minneapolis Central Library (incidentally the library is brand new and stunning) taking a rock and roll class.
