Last night at Rock & Roll Bookclub somewhere between the homemade chili with chorizo and three different peppers and the divine butter cream chocolate dessert, I decided it would be a good idea to drink an entire bottle of wine. Ouch.
Waking up this morning was not fun. About half a cup of coffee into the [...]

Making it right
Monday, I was pretty damn sure I’d never deal with Tires Plus again. I was still pretty miffed at the shoddy treatment I received over the weekend, and when the manager called I blew him off. Mature? Probably not. But I had convinced myself there really was nothing they could do to make me happy, [...]

Two tales to renew your faith in humanity
One:
Ruby & I took a little slide into the ditch on our way to The Nerdery this morning. It wasn’t dramatic. There was no median jumping, no careening into oncoming traffic, no landing on our side on a hill. It was a just a fishtail and a slow slide into a snowbank on the side [...]

Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can!
Nolan has informed me that Barack Obama has won and that it’s a good thing because McCain was kind of rude. Now he sits on the couch leafing through an old issue of Rolling Stone looking for pictures of Barack Obama (every time he says the first and last name).
Liam kneels on the floor [...]

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 all [...]

Namechecked by Kathleen Turner
So I got a mention in Kathleen Turner’s memoir Send Yourself Roses. It is by far the weirdest, most random thing to happen to me up to this point.
This morning I got a lovely e-mail from a gentleman named Don who said this:
I’m one of the early reviewers for Kathleen Turner’s new book, Send Yourself [...]

A failure at wallowing
I’ve been doing my best this weekend to wallow in a sea of self pity. Because impending unemployment and Christmas didn’t suck enough, PMS has decided to come for a visit. This makes for a perfect wallowing situation, right? Wrong.
Wallowing takes a certain sort of focus. To properly wallow one must spend great amounts of [...]

My Christmas wish for you, darling ones
I haven’t opened a single Christmas present yet, but I already got the best gift I’m gonna get this year.
You see, Saturday night I had myself a little panic attack. I was still pretty raw from my wanton Googling escapade. One minute I was bent over blow drying my hair and the next I’m [...]

Of all the late-night shitty greasy spoons in all the world, Mike Doughty walked into mine
(wolfdogg took this picture, click to see the ‘notes’)
Listen up all you doubters. Yes, all you who do not believe in the power of my Make Sweet Sweet Love to Me™ Vibe. It works! Well, it kind of works. No, I did not convince Mike Doughty to ravish me using the power of my vibe.
but.

well it’s a hootenanny baby, or do you know any shut the fuck up?
after the westerberg concert and the backstage debacle at The Riv (which i haven’t told you about yet), the westernerd crew headed back to the dorm for a hootenanny. Wolf, one of my travelling companions (along with Kelly and The Load) had brought a guitar, and there was booze. the booze, that is the important [...]
