The Daily Show goes after the Shakopee Prision

Thanks to Peabo for pointing this out. The Daily Show on the lack of fence around the Woman’s Prison in Shakopee. My favorite, “we should fence the whole fucking state in.”

My burgeoning sexuality is 15

You can’t swing a mouse around the Internet without learning that Liz Phair’s “Exile in Guyville” is 15 this year. I love Liz Phair’s music with the kind of blind passion and dedication that is usually reserved for Paul Westerberg and my childhood musical hero, Billy Joel. Liz Phair’s music means more to me than [...]

Habits of the unemployed

When waking up at 8 a.m.* and getting yourself dressed (in plaid, flannel pajama pants and a Dan Patch Lanes t-shirt), you chant to yourself over and over “it’s Monday, it’s Monday, at least I think it’s Monday”). *of course the unemployed are only up at that time in the morning because they were supposed [...]

Things I learned reading ‘Things I Learned From the Women Who’ve Dumped Me’

That Wolfdogg will probably have his suggestion rights for Rock and Roll Bookclub revoked again. His rights were revoked sometime in June of 07 because he suggested A Boy Called Freebird, a book so heinous and unreadable that I didn’t make it past page 40. Just because someone writes something funny for TV (Will Forte, [...]

Oh yeah, night of the comet

The only thing to make a hot cup of coffee better on a sunny Saturday morning is drinking it while Night of the motherfucking Comet is on the Sci-Fi channel.

Stay gold, Aunt Jodi

Max is growing his hair out. He hasn’t cut it in months and months. He has curly hair so he’s got this odd, huge whiteboy ‘fro going on. Yesterday I had to babysit all the kidlings while Sister #3 met with her lawyer. I was asking Max about his hair when he told me to [...]

Bookclub Bitches 10: Persepolis a book I want to make love to

powered by ODEO For the March edition of Bookclub Bitches FFJ and I read Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. We actually read both Persepolis and Persepolis 2. I don’t see how one could read the first one and not want to read the second one immediately. To say that I loved this graphic memoir is like [...]

Now I am, truly, back in black

Dear Internet, I just watched an AC/DC concert on VH-1 Classics. I am sure it will do wonders for my cold. Is this why God invented unemployment? Shaking you all night long, Jodi

Dream ingredients

Last night I had a dream that involved Peabo, The Deets, my friend Mike, the flooding Minnesota River, and Vodo being on called ‘The Vodo’ on TV. Also, the most disturbing part of the dream? I gave birth to a baby boy who I decided to name Randl Fiction. Yeah. Not only did I spell [...]

Good thing I didn’t name the iPod Barry Jive and his Uptown Five

Last week I finally got my copy for Send Yourself Roses from the publisher. I was pretty stoked because now I could finally see for myself what page 237 really said. I can’t tell you what pleases me most, that Ruby was called by name or that I’m considered a young woman. I keep asking [...]

Let this one be the last

This is the last one. After now I will stop whining about this past month. Sister #3 and the Tibbles have joined the zoo that is now Sister #2′s house. I am surprised that I can stand upright with the amount of guilt weighing me down. It’s weird that I got what I wanted and [...]

If she’s so perceptive how come she can’t see how depressed I am

I feel like I’m in prison with no hope for parole. The days stretch out before me an endless chain of temper tantrums, juice boxes, and messes. The other day Sister #3 and I had an argument about how perceptive she is. She claims she’s super sensitive and can tell what people are thinking just [...]

I’ve become a mouth-breather with really chapped lips

So what, a person updates their site like everyday for three months and then skips three days and it’s like she’s dead? Nah. I just feel like I am. Living with a gaggle of Knee-high Infection DisseminatorS can really lay a person out. I’m a shut-in. I’m not used to all these germs. I long [...]
