I’m Now Ready to Take the Bar Exam (That’s the Given at a Bar, Right?)
Well hellllllooo there! Sorry to neglect this little ol’blog here but work has been kicking my butt this week. This image, by the way, is from a yoga blog. That just cracks me up. Anyway, like I was saying, work has been mildly panic-inducing. For one thing, I attended two all-day summit/event/type thingies full of…

Hopefully, I Don’t Get Sued for This
I watch a lot of Sons of Anarchy, which means I’m an expert on this topic: I imagine that being in prison must be quite boring. Sure, there’s all that nice gym equipment to help you work on your fitness. But honestly, it’s prison. Other than the obvious protection angle (perhaps Opie should have hung…

Things That Aren’t Cool: Evil Elmos, NASA
What with some presidential candidates publicly taking aim at Big Bird, Sesame Street has been in the news a lot lately. And never one to miss an opportunity, those media whores over at NASA are trying to elbow their way into the limelight. Again. (I’m looking at you, Mars Rover guy, with your Mohawk and…

Thanks for the Memories, Glitsy: Porktober 2012
*Let me start by apologizing for the photos. I was very lackadaisical about taking pictures, so I stole the majority of these from other people, so there’s some variance in terms of size, especially. There was a crime at this weekend’s Porktober. A crime against humanity. Someone ate all of the mozzarella out of the…

Reality TV Time: Love It or List It
I just realized I forgot to tell you about my weekend. Don’t worry. This won’t take long. It was incredibly lazy. We hardly raised our prone bodies off our respective couches. And when we did, it was usually to get some grazing materials (ie: food) and then resume our positions on our couches. I couldn’t…

My (Exhaustive and Expletive-Filled) History with Capital One
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am a reasonable person. It is true I often find myself annoyed and angry at my fellow human beings, but rarely do I throw around terms such as Dodd-Frank, or CFPB. I might occasionally find customer service people to be, well, rude, but I try not to threaten…

It’s Beginning to Smell a Lot Like Porktober
October is a very special month around thePoeLog household. It’s the birthday month of XFE, aka my boyfriend-for-life. It’s also the month we met. Yep, seven glorious years ago this month he wore me down and convinced me to go out with him. A couple of weeks later, on Halloween, he tricked me into our…

Maybe the Hogs Were Concerned About the Impact of a Potential Bacon Shortage?
Those animals, man. They are totally out to get us. I don’t think I’m being paranoid (anymore) when I say that the animal kingdom has thoroughly turned on us. The evidence is stacking up and has been well documented on this website. Think badgers are cute little woodland creatures incapable of eating a midget porn…

Somebody Must Have Broken Rule Number One
I’ll admit it – yesterday’s post kind of sucked. I definitely phoned it in. Which is a real shame because it was my boyfriend-in-training XFE’s birthday and well, he deserved better. But, in my defense (and when am I not a bit defensive?), the post sucked because it was written in the midst of fighting.…

Birthday Ham
It’s not every day that one can say they brought home the bacon. Or, even, the ham. But my main man XFE’s birthday is today (Tuesday). And, well, he loves his cured meats. Which is fairly surprising considering the Great Northern Italy Food Poisoning Incident (Involving Salami), Spring 2011. I personally still have some hard…
