In which it’s Superb Owl Sunday, and I’m not even sure who’s playing! It’s 1:24 in the afternoon and I’ve already downed this: (It’s a brilliant bloody mary with lots of pickle juice.) And this: (A mostly-homemade bean tostada of excellent excellence.) Life is a wonderful — and delicious and tipsy — thing!
In which I even googled it. My tongue feels slightly too large for my mouth. My bite feels like it’s off. My mouth seems to be watering more than usual, but it’s hard to tell because normally I don’t notice how much I’m salivating. But today I’m super-aware of it. And it’s driving me nuts! […]
In which I make political commentary. I try to do my research. Even if I really, really don’t want to. I’ve read several long-form think pieces about this man’s upcoming presidency. And the weird thing is that they exist: there are persons, educated persons, DC insiders, who are writing long-form think pieces about this man’s […]
In which Facebook gets far too much of my good material, so I’m cross-posting some here as well. My original post, on Trump’s appointments, and specifically about his meeting with Kennedy: Now we’ve got anti-vaxxers, climate change denialists, a rich bitch who has a weird hatred for schools. Absolute opposite of ‘brain trust.’ It received […]
In which there’s a retrospective. Ten years ago today, I lived in Fairfield, IA, freeloading off of an ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend by staying in their extra bedroom after having made myself homeless by leaving my husband a couple months before. (Well, technically, my ex-boyfriend and I were both freeloading off her, really, since it […]
In which I’m a vegetarian, but not an idiot. Click on the image below for a really great #longread about zoo animal management, that really makes you wonder how anybody can get so fucking freaked out and upset about professionals doing their jobs. Professionals. Experts. People who know way more than you do about managing animals. […]
In which there are a few images. Today was much like most of my days. I slept in ’til noonish. Ate. Had coffee. Internetted. Noticed today was pay day and paid my VISA bill. Made the bed, watered the plants, thought about meditating but didn’t — thought about picking up 30 or 60 minutes of […]
In which we each opened a present on Christmas Eve. I got a ring! Terrible picture brought to you by low light and my cell phone. — According to the listing, it’s a “created Alexandrite pear ring, set in .925 sterling silver with rhodium finish.” I have no idea what rhodium is. When my grandfather […]
In which there’s a rant about the joyous experience of aging-while-female. This piece about perimenopause made me laugh. Especially the line, “Last week, I cried because I saw a high school marching band coming down the street playing Stevie Wonder.” (I sobbed during the end of White Christmas last night, and I’ve seen the damn […]
In which I’m astonished at the texture! I like to read recipes. I have liked to do so since they were in actual books rather than on the internet. I especially like to read old recipes. The oldest through the newest, to see what’s changed and what’s the same. Ancient recipes, medieval recipes, 20’s recipes, […]
