The Sister Club (sans Sister #3) journeyed to the great wild lands to the north (Blaine) to attend a Pampered Chef party. Yeah. I hate these kinds of parties — all of them. I promise you, all my female friends, I will never host any kind of party like that ever. Since The Stink had [...]

You’re probably thinking, “oh, oh, Jodi’s giving mad props to Jim Walsh whom she loooovvvesss. Zzzzzzz.” No. Seriously. All Over But the Shouting is really fucking good. Which is the [...]
WARNING: This is rated R for crassness and sacrilegiousness. So yeah, the dream. Dude, I think I might need to seek some help. Last night I dreamt I was some sort of odd medium who had to rid a house of ghost. How did I do this? By walking around the house sans pants with [...]

My story “Rocket Science” is being workshopped tonight. This ass I am sitting on right now, it will be handed to me. I deserve it. The story is not good. I think it might be good for about seven pages or so, but then it just becomes a train wreck filled with half-ideas and no [...]
First I dream about Jason Kottke, and then last night I dreamt (dreamed? both look wrong) that after sitting on my front stoop watching giant spiders trap and eat giant flies, I was late for feng-shuing Aaron’s office. Nevermind that I know nothing about either.
