Sadly, I don’t have a child I can exploit for humorous purposes. But I do have me, and when I saw Reasons My Son is Crying I laughed and then I thought I could totally do a tumblr just like that only it would be about me, because of the aforementioned childlessness. I cry a …
Bah. I’ve had a bad day. Okay it probably hasn’t been so much bad as annoying and cranky-making. I don’t want to use the badge bad day on this kind of day. You have to save bad for a day worthy of it. Work and money anxiety paired with a stupid mistake made on a …
My personal resolutions are vague and involve more: More naps, more leaving the house, more reading, more value for my own writing that isn’t being paid for by someone. I like vagueness, it’s harder to quantify and therefore harder to fail. 2012: vaguely setting myself up for success. But Internet, oh Internet I have some …

This lack of sleep has pushed my already low bullshit tolerance to zero. I’ve tried everything to alleviate …
My “friend” Wolfdogg (the quotation marks are intentional and if you could change your relationship status with your friends on Facebook his would be “friends: but under review for behavior unbecoming”) pointed to this delightful bit of writing in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer telling people to exclaim their asses off because using actual words to convey …
Supergenius HQ is located in a row of townhouses. There are four in my row. Two luxurious corner spots with actual yards, and two squeezy, teeny, slum spots with the equivalent of a postage stamp making up the yard. For real, I’m pretty sure I could lay down in my “yard” and my head would …
