It Wouldn’t Be Christmas Without Vegas and Sharks
Well, hello there, good lookin’. I’m back from the non-stop holidaying extravaganza! As, I suppose, we all are, regrettably. Oh well. #TheStruggleIsReal My main man-panion XFE took some time off during the holidays so we ate many, many great, decadent, meaty things, and drank many a delicious wine and cocktail (mostly made with gins-of-the-world, a…

Totally Random Search Terms – October Edition
Way back in the day, when thePoeLog was just a tiny little sentence fetus and Google played nicely with WordPress, we had a semi-regular feature called “Totally Random Search Terms that Brought Someone to thePoeLog.” This was inspired by a feature on WordPress that rounded up terms used in search engines like Yahoo, Google and…

Links: Naked and Afraid of Sharks Edition
Hope everyone had a great weekend. My personal master-of-the-remote XFE and I certainly did. I suppose you heard that we’re having a heat wave up here in the Northeast, so we did the safe thing, and spent Sunday lying on the couch with a couple of pitchers of watermelon-mint-tequila-aqua-fresca watching the first four episodes of…

Friday Links: Freaks in Oceans and Metros Edition
I’ve got back-to-back trips over the next two weeks and will blog when I can. In the meantime, I suppose I should brush up on my R. Kelly lyrics in case I get stuck on a tarmac, and be glad I don’t have to take public transportation in San Francisco. See you soon! These folks…

Friday Linkage: Big Cats Find Love on Metro
Want to get even closer to the sweaty intern swaying next to you on the packed Blue line this summer? Now there’s a dating website for DC metro riders. Giving new meaning to “weekend track work.” (I have no idea what I was insinuating there. Doesn’t really work, does it? Look! Something shiny!) Speaking of…

So, It’s Shark Week.
I can tell by the keyword searches that are bringing folks to thePoeLog that the worldwide Interwebs audience is breathless with anticipation to hear my thoughts on Shark Week. The keyword searches this week have consistently been shark related (well, except for a very odd and brief divergence into Kate Gosselin territory in which someone…

On Today’s Agenda
So, we’ll be doing a bit of this today. It’s a pretty exciting day. I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in weeks. I’m pretty sure I’m going to sleep throughout the entire vacation from sheer exhaustion. We’ve been planning this 32,000 mile trip for almost a year. We used 320,000 United miles to fly…

Do Wild Dogs Like Milkbones?
Apparently, if the negligent scuba buddy and the hybrid sharks don’t kill you in Australia, the dingoes are ready to finish the job. I thought Meryl Streep already solved this mystery. But apparently, the parents of the nine-week old baby that disappeared in the Australian outback 32 years ago are not happy that her death…

Pulling Out the Big Guns
This is an (approximately accurate) excerpt of an actual conversation between me and my personal-chauffeur-for-life XFE at a gas station on Saturday morning, around 8 am. XFE (getting into the car after pumping the gas): Are you trying to kill me? Me (peering intently into my smart phone): No, why? XFE: You’re not supposed to…

Going Tribal Drums on Some Sharkies
I have the most awesome friends. They are always looking out for me. They really are. For example, my friend Emilia recently made me aware of this fine product, along with her astute observation that “apparently tribal techno music is just perfect for shark repelling…??!”: (I’m trying to insert a video here. First time. Let’s…
