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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

How you know you’re getting ready to watching something good on Netflix: the description starts off with “Based on a popular internet game…” Incidentally, voters on IMDB have given Horseland a rating of 5.1/10 — that’s the same rating as From Justin to Kelly, Birdemic: Shock and Terror, and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 added together!

I bought some bananas at the store. I never buy bananas, because I feel guilty after they always go bad because apparently I never eat bananas that I buy. In an effort to make these bananas last as long as they could, giving me more time to not eat them, I thought back about tips [...]

A friend at work forwarded me the below email that I had sent her almost a year ago. It reminds me how much I love baked potatoes, and also how good I am at writing songs. From: Breanne S Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2011 11:38 AM To: Melissa E Subject: ooooh whoooooa I just wrote [...]

So, you don’t feel well and you live in South Texas? Well, kind reader, there’s no need to look any further — I have the answer to your sicky woes. With today’s technology (along with my incredible insightfulness (which Computer tells me isn’t a word but I’m going to go with it anyway)), there is [...]

Seriously, people. If you live in South Carolina, Spartanburg specifically, stop trying to buy electronics in parking lots. I know Best Buy is really a drag, but at least they give you actual electronics in return for your money. Last week, a 22 year old girl bought an “ipad” for $180 at a McDonald’s. Apparently, [...]
