It looks like Google forget the L in there fancy-pants Valentine’s logo graphic.

The collision of Valentine’s Day with me monthly menses is a cruel, cruel motherfucking joke. Plus, it’s February where, traditionally, I spend all my time cursing winter, the world, loneliness, and wondering why it is that nobody will ever, ever love me, all while wearing my pajamas and hoping the entire world outside my door [...]

I am tired of the constant shivering, permanently erect nipples, and the ice-cream headache you get the minute you step outside. However, I will never tire of the way Paco will curl up on my feet the minute I whip out the trusty green afghan and wrap it around myself. He is the only [...]

I can’t tell if I’m coming down with a cold, excessively tired, or sick from sitting in a dark meeting room for the past two days. Probably all of the above.
If it is a cold, it’s totally my fault. I’ve been bragging for the past two weeks about how I’ve gotten this far into winter [...]

There’s a scene in “Thelma and Louise” where Geena Davis talks about how she’s gonna let loose and she says all southern-like “My hair is comin’ down.” Eventually she has sex with Brad Pitt and then drives off a cliff.
I’m doing the same thing today, without the sex and the cliff driving. I can’t [...]

It’s been raining for two days straight and now that rain has changed to snow. It really is pretty, and it’s been a long time since we’ve seen snow in Minnesota. Watching the flakes pile up on the fence makes me feel all the better for my decision to stay home this New Year’s Eve. [...]

To truly recover from the flu, I have discovered that you have to spend a great amount of time not wearing pants while simultaneously not laying in bed. It’s really quite necessary to make a full recovery. Listening to Iron & Wine’s cover of “Such Great Heights” sixteen times in a row helps a lot [...]

Much hooha is made about how Americans never take enough vacation. . . here’s why, you have to come back from vacation. We take vacations to get away from it all and to relax, but things are like 39 times more spazzier and stressful upon our return. That’s some kind of messed up.
I have a [...]

Tonight I had dinner with BFK, her new beau, Sister #2 and the Stink. We were just generally jabber-jawing about nothing at all and I was whining about how busy I am this week and how I have to write a story in 8 days.
“What are you so busy with?” BFK asked.
“I had a reading [...]

September 13th is laden with anniversaries, something that didn’t occur to me until late last night. While I’m a birthday-remembering whiz, I’m not so good with the anniversaries of important dates.
But September 13th, holy shit!
Yesterday marked:
The first anniversary of Supergenius HQ
The third anniversary of Grammu’s death
And my SEVENTH anniversary of employment at Hell, [...]

It’s disturbing when you suddenly discover you’re inappropriately aroused at work. It’s even more disturbing when you discover the arousal is due to you being a big ol’ nasty pervert.
I’ve been trolling some of the stock photography sites looking for something to go along with a project I’m working on. The project requires a photo [...]

After surviving my hangover yesterday, I woke up this morning determined to fulfill my Labor Day goal of doing nothing. Oh my, I cannot remember the last time I so swiftly and successfully attained a goal. It has been glorious.
I must admit I did do a few things — fed myself, read a few [...]

I feel like I’m turning into one of those people who just bitches endlessly about everything and doesn’t do anything about it. It’s odd that I feel like this, because I really haven’t done any external bitching at all — until now. But my internal bitchometer is off the motherfucking charts.
I’m in one of those [...]

I just sent this to my friend Kelly (not that Kelly but a different one):
I took have been crazy busy with summer and working and Sister #4 soon-to-be leaving my humble abode. It’s kind of nice but insane. Plus there’s Rock and Roll Class, Poetry Slams, and just generally being social. Sometimes I long for [...]

I made the mistake of stopping by Caribou for a delicious Chocolate Cooler this morning. Now I remember why it is I choose to eschew coffee except when I’m incredibly tired, because I’m vibrating right now. And much to the dismay of my coworker, I can’t seem to stop singing out loud.
