In searching and searching for an old dog toy I was seeking to replace, I found a Chinese website that showed a picture of that EXACT hard-to-find vinyl football. I checked the dimensions, saw 12x7x7 and thought that while maybe slightly bigger than I was thinking it was, that was probably about the right size [...]

The internet is a wicked thing. It can help convince you that your headache combined with an ant bite on your toe-web is actually a rare form of cancer. It can ruin your whole day through obsessive learning through a wikipedia link spiral or, less constructively, an entertaining youtube channel. What the internet showed me [...]

Ok, nerds — I mean toner for your face, not your printer. Even though I a grown-ass adult, my face skin still behaves as if I’m in high school. From what I had understood, that breaking out crap was supposed to go away when I was old enough to pay rent. So now I’m paying [...]

I’m still coming to terms with the fact that Google has decided, so very unceremoniously, to kill Reader on July 1. I thought to myself: “No, I can handle this. I’M AN ADULT!” Well, one or both of those thoughts turned out to be incorrect. I thought I would jump seamlessly over to one of [...]

I have Google Voice on my phone, and one of its great features is its voicemail transcription service. That means that when somebody leaves me a message, I don’t have to use all of my energy to lift the phone up to my ear and listen—I just read the transcription of the message that gets [...]

My cat, Lily, has been described by some as “fat.” Other adjectives commonly used alongside her name include: bitchy, mean, obese, evil, chubby, big-boned, fat-as-shit, and other words that would be just plain hurtful if she understood English and/or cared what anyone had to say ever. I had seen online that an auto-feeder had helped [...]

  The new season of Arrested Development is coming at us, and coming at us fast. It’ll be released all at once on Netflix, and I could not be more thrilled for that sweet day in May when I’ll be cutting off all real life activity and watching the lot of them, marathon-style. Now that [...]

This year, in my pursuit of being kinda-Catholic, I am again participating in giving something up for the Lenten season. I think that one of my more controllable flaws that I often choose not to control is my… shall we say… “volatility.” Friends will be (not at all) surprised to learn that I can tend [...]

Last night, I finished reading 50 Shades of Grey. I feel like such a pervert, so filthy, so very unladylike… mostly because of how I felt the majority of the time I was reading it, which was mostly: “That’s it?” What the heck, man? From all I’d heard, this “mommy porn” was supposed to be [...]

There are two things I love in this world: tv and karaoke. Well, that’s the short list. The longer list includes baby animals, capybaras, desserts, and massages. Also, things with cheese on them. And really good ribs. Also, polenta. And fancy handbags. And nail polish. SO, back to tv and karaoke. I cut the cable [...]
