How to be Completely Useless
This might be one of the most frustrating images I’ve ever come across in my many years of reading blogs. I saw it on Sojourning Abroad and it claims to be a color coded map with a list of local emergency numbers. Hmmm, I think to myself, wouldn’t that be a nice, permanent addition…

Nerves of Jello Over Here
I am very nervous about our upcoming trip to Peru, y’all. I’m not nervous about packing. For once. Although, my new laissez faire “take what you wore yesterday and throw it in a bag (*plus clean underwear)” attitude won’t work for this trip. For one thing, I wore a bulky turtleneck, wool pants and a…

Would You Like Some Deer Antler with Those Wings?
Why yes, I did watch the Super Bowl this past weekend. I know the complete absence of any suggestion of Beyonce’s fierce halftime show outfit must have had you all wondering. We actually went over to a friends’ house to watch it. It was fairly entertaining because (1) we’re not really that into football, (2)…

(Some of the) Laws in Virginia are Bleeping Stupid
Ugh, so apparently we have to move. It’s all very unfortunate because we love our little house, and our adorable neighborhood and we live just a block from Trader Joe’s, which has always been my main aspiration in life. And, I’ve just figured out where to stand on my neighborhood metro platform to place myself…

Kwame Harris and I Agree: Soy Sauce is Dangerous
I know from personal experience that soy sauce can ruin walls. And I know from personal experience that soy sauce can lead to bickering that ruins an otherwise nice evening with your loved ones. Apparently, I’m not the only one to have learned this lesson. According to the San Mateo Daily Journal, a dispute over…

Girls Gone Wild in the OT
My parental guidance counselor, XFE is out of town for work this week, leaving Petunia and I to fend for ourselves once again. So, there’s been a lot of this: And this: And this: Actually, that last one is a big, fat, wishful creamy lie. Because even though XFE was also out of town for…

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…

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…
