Friday Links: Shutdown Protest Edition
So let’s just have a little quick recap of this week, shall we? My sweet love petal XFE is out of town and my insomnia is in full force. I showed up a week early for a dental cleaning (they declined my offer to go ahead and just do it. They also didn’t appreciate it…

Maybe I Should Play the Lottery Next
Sometimes you do something so stupid and potentially dangerous it puts a pit in your stomach and lingers around you for a whole day. I’m not talking about something irresponsible, like, say, for example, staying far too long at a happy hour and not eating anything except a couple of chips and a teaspoon of…

The World is Such a Weird and Disturbing Place
I went for drinks with the some ladies the other night. Not just some random ladies, mind you. I actually knew the ladies. So, don’t worry. No stranger danger. As these things are sometimes wont to do, the talk at one point turned to dating in D.C. Specifically, now difficult it could be. Or for…

RIP: Unknown Search Terms
What a week, huh? Kray up here in tha DC, y’all, what with the government shutdown and all the crazy effects of that — veterans storming World War II memorials, DC metro saying it will run fewer train cars, and, worst of all, no panda cam at the National Zoo. Then there was that whole…

What is Going on in This Picture?
Can we just talk about this picture for a moment? When I first saw this on Day Old News, I had the same thought as that blogger: What the hell is Casper wearing? Dude. You are with, what is arguably, one of the most beautiful women in the world. She’s 44 years old, and…

I Am a GTA Widow
The last two evenings I’ve been a GTA widow. Surely you know what GTA is. If you don’t, you must not live with a man between the ages of 5 and 85 years of age. GTA is a video game formally known as Grand Theft Auto. And version five finally came out on Tuesday. (I only…

Lobster-Palooza Weekend
When I was a wee little trailer rat growing up amidst the tumbleweeds of West Texas, there was not a lot of lobster on the menu. Nor should there have been. After all, I had a palate more acquainted with government-issued cheese and vegetables out of a can (I didn’t even know asparagus was not…
