I don’t know where she gets the sassiness

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 [...]

I can’t keep quiet any longer

Okay, I haven’t finished the book yet, but I gotta give some mad props to Jim Walsh for The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting. 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 [...]

Clearly someone has latent issues about her Catholic upbringing

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 [...]

Things that make me hot

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

I hope it’s as good as City Pages used to be

All signs point to The Daily Mole being the new bomb diggety.

How did you spend your Saturday night?

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

Sick pleasures

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 [...]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

“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 [...]

In which I am embarrassed by my own ineptness

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 [...]

No more Internet before bed

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.

It’s like they’ve never seen a grown woman dunk her Pop Tart in a cup of coffee before.
