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.”

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 a [...]

Hearing how Guttenberg came up with the terms uppercase and lowercase in reference to letters while watching The Writing Code on PBS.

Why I watched an infomercial about The Midnight Special and I rather enjoyed it. Really.

The one good thing about being sick? You can do all those things you really want to do on a Saturday but always feel guilty doing because you should be out there Carpe Dieming the hell out of life.
But when you have a cold you can crawl into bed at 5 p.m. with your [...]

“You have garlic at home, right?”
“Yes, like a whole bulb.”
“Okay, here’s what you do. Slice ‘em up and swallow them like aspirin.”
“Just wash them down with water?”
“Yeah.”
“How many?”
“I don’t know. I usually do two or three, a few times a day.”
“Are you kidding?”
“No. It works.”
“I’d rather have the cold, thanks.”

It seems our fair heroine made the Top 10 most comments list in Vox’s Anniversary post. I am so proud.

MN Monthly has a nice excerpt from Jim Walsh’s The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting.

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.
