Breakfast with Aunt Jodi
Sister #3 is at the courthouse with the rest of the Sister Club posse waiting for a judge to determine our collective fates. I am at home wrangling Tibbles. Since today is St. Patrick’s Day we decided to forgo the early-morning dance party in favor of cinnamon rolls and “spider pig” aka The Simpson’s Movie.
Totally [...]
Last week I was standing around Caribou waiting for my coffee and gossiping with Al, the cutest girl on earth™, when a woman approached me.
“Can I ask you a question?” she said.
I started to shake my head yes.
“It’s not how tall you are,” she started. “I have a daughter who is 6′3″.”
“I’m 6′5″,” I said.
“That’s [...]
Come on, bet me
I’d be lying to you if I didn’t confess that aside from the orgasm I had on Friday while the Tibbles were at my parents’ and Sister #3 was at school that the best time I’ve had in the last three weeks was watching Rock of Love today. I actually squirmed with glee.
I’m calling [...]
The Learners, an unworthy sequel
As much as it pains me to say it, I was really disappointed in Chip Kidd’s The Learners, a follow-up to his phenomenal book Cheese Monkeys.
The Learners picks up with Happy, the main character from Cheese Monkeys all graduated from State and trying to get a job at Spear, Rakoff & Ware in New [...]
Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant
Dear Pink Panther & Huckleberry Hound,
Thank you. For some inexplicable reason you have managed to keep the two tiniest Tibbles’ attention for an entire 38 minutes.
In heaven,
Jodi
Eep Op Ork Ah Ah is our reason for living
Glory be to God on high, the Tibbles slept in until 9:11 a.m. this morning. This allowed me approximately 7.5 hours of uninterrupted, glorious sleep. Praise be!
Things in the house that makes awful seem like a nice place to visit have been a lot better since Sunday or Monday, or whatever day it was [...]
As many of you know, we here at I Will Dare strive to provide factual answers to the questions that bring Googlers to these pages. Here is the latest installment.
are there any songs with the name jodi in them?
Heck yeah.
Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole + the Commotions
Jody by America
Jodi by The Dodos
Jody Sings by Masters of [...]
How many times can Cars be watched in a five-day period? 67. I’m not even kidding.
Aunt Jodi’s early-morning Dance Party
I’m a morning music listener. There’s nothing more I like to do after watching Dude Weather is crank a few tunes. Since the Tibbles have been here, I’ve been slowing acclimating them to this morning music. They love it. Specifically, they love to listen to “Ring of Fire.” Three-year-old Liam knows all the words by [...]
Now I need to scrub my brain with a toothbrush
This might come as a surprise to a lot of people coming from the woman who calls her web site I Will Dare, but I don’t have sexual, groupie-like feelings towards Paul Westerberg. In fact the thought of it kind of oogs me out.
So now you’ll understand my general feeling of heebie-jeebieness with regards to [...]
People need to get a grip
Dear Internet,
Thanks for being crazy insane and e-mailing all Sister #3’s friends with what I wrote in a fit of anger Saturday night/Sunday morning. I really appreciate it. Things have effectively gone from bad to worse than ever before thought possible by humans. And on top of it all now I feel like a horrible, [...]
