Resolutions, now with footnotes!

First of all, remember how I forgot my favorite water bottle on the table at Grumpy’s and was all woe is me? I got it back! There was much rejoicing at writing group last night when Tiffany, my favorite Grumpy’s waitress, reunited me with the bottle. Then there was much name calling when Steve discovered [...]

The irony of turning 10

The irony here is that on Saturday I Will Dare will celebrate it’s 10th Anniversary. It’s ironic because this month is probably the worst blogging month I’ve had in my blogging tenure. Blog. Some days I panic and worry that I’ve become a victim of the social media monster, spending all my wit in 140-character [...]

I’m trying to figure out if the acting is bad on purpose

I’m not entirely sure how it happened, but here I am in the dark living room sitting in my underpants eating cherry Nibs and watching “Beach Blanket Bingo.” This might be the worst movie ever made. They just had a dude “tuning” his guitar and as he started strumming an entire band with drum section [...]

I am boring and I talk about my hair

I got my hair cut today. And colored (there are no pictures yet, because I still have ring around the forehead). It was long overdue. So long, in fact, that when I saw my friend Brendan at The Nerdery a few weeks ago the first thing he asked me was why my hair was normal [...]

Things I’ve been doing instead of updating I Will Dare

Playing Plants vs. Zombies on Ziggy, my iPhone Working That’s it. It’s been dreadfully boring and mostly productive (except for the hours spent playing an addictive as cracker jacks video game). It’s been totally productive, which is why I have no words leftover. I’m hoping things will loosen up in the next week or so. [...]

Don’t know how to party

That sound you hear is the drool dripping from my lips as I stare slack-jawed at the TV. This afternoon I handed off a huge project. I was so happy to have it done I celebrated by feasting on D’Amicos Dried Cherry & Turkey salad while watching reruns of Roseanne. Who says I don’t know [...]

You take the good, you take the bad*

It’s snowing like a motherfucker** outside. Sure, sure it’s no DC snowmageddon, but it’s still snowing like hell. It’s supposed to snow for the next day and a half. After I white-knuckled it home from Sister #2′s last night (doing 45 in the 65 the entire 6.2 miles) I gave myself a mental high five [...]

Caught a cold, broke up with Wilco & wondering where the rock went

If I could travel back in time, I would zoom back to Friday and I would wrestle Ziggy from Nolan’s germ-covered, Tap Tap Revolution playing clutches. I would also go to bed at a decent time on Friday night and Saturday night. Also, I would drink more water than wine and I would eat some [...]

Malaise

I’m glad it’s not just me. Christa noticed it too. Last night, I made a crack about how the Internet was totally boring last week, myself included. Perhaps it’s the last dregs of summer sucking the life out of everyone, lazing it up before school starts. All I know is my brain is sludgy and [...]

Children with powertools

Did I tell you about that headache I got on Thursday after going to IKEA and while having lunch with Melanie at that Indian place we love, a headache so bad I could only crawl into bed, whimper, and sleep until 4:30 and was still so shaky and out of it I skipped my first [...]

4th of July, y’all

Many men and women gave their lives so that I would have the freedom to eat charred animal flesh with a side of potato salad in the front yard of people I have known for 30 years. God Bless America!

Not so momentous

After something like wearing it for thirteen or fourteen years, I took my nosering out. I’m not exactly sure why, which is fitting because I’m not exactly sure why I got it pierced in the first place. I remember taking a shower one morning when I was twenty-three (or four) and deciding that day would [...]

How much does a decent TV cost anyway?

I have to buy a TV. The one that I currently own, a deluxe 19″ Fisher that was given to me by my former brother-in-law is slowly dying. It has these hideous dark lines constantly running through the picture, and because that’s not enough motion the picture likes to get a little shaky and wavy. [...]

Some really boring things you probably won’t care about

My weekend was consumed by three things: redesigning MN Reads, Rock & Roll Bookclub, and reading. It was all the things I love most in the world combined into one weekend, well except for the monkey sex with Matt Dillon. But you can’t always get every single thing you want, right? The great thing about [...]

On e-mail responses and exclamation points

Whenever I respond to e-mail (which isn’t often, I know), you should know that I am wearing a facial expression that is appropriate to what I’m writing. Like, if I’m excited and happy about the content of my response I will smile and nod at the screen, as though I were smiling and nodding at [...]
