In which I review my newest device, even though it’s already obsolete. A couple of weeks ago I spontaneously bought a fourth Kindle — a tablet upgrade. My previous Kindle Fire worked fine and I didn’t need a new one. I knew they were probably going to announce a new model soon anyway. (Which they […]
In which there’s a soup recipe that freezes really well! I made this soup a couple weeks ago and froze some of it. Friday I pulled some out of the freezer; Saturday I re-heated it and ate it and it was brilliant! I love this soup! It satisfies that “I really want a creamy chowder […]
In which I break a couple of things and the long-distance relationship is great. Yesterday, my 31 day-old phone died. Just up and goddamned failed, right in the middle of the afternoon. Six months ago, I probably wouldn’t have cared much about being phoneless for a day or three, but now my phone is my […]
In which I blog more because it’s time than because I have anything to say. I got my hair cut and colored after work Thursday night. It’s got honey blonde highlights and medium brown lowlights and it’s been cut into layers and it feels great. I also got the shit waxed out of what had […]
In which I write a post about fucking JARS because clearly I want to die alone. I’m sure you’ve heard me praise the cuppow, which is merely a piece of plastic that turns a jar into a go-cup: And you’ve probably seen my Mason jar pinterest board (which exists because I’m a fucking ‘tard). I […]
In which I spend too much goddamned time with the band. The Ilwaco blues & seafood festival booked us on Friday night this year, so I took the day off from work and was standing, dressed and packed, on the front porch at nine-thirty in the morning as I’d been asked. Rob didn’t bother showing […]
In which there’s a party. My friend Embo had a birthday yesterday. We took balloons and cupcakes to the bar and got drunk. It was fun. Pictures are here.
In which decorating has unexpected results. In an effort to celebrate the season, which is Spring, I guess, and some Xian holiday I only vaguely care about, I filled these bottles with colored water yesterday and put them on the kitchen windowsill: Nice, huh? I pretty much nailed the whole pastel thing, don’t you think? […]
In which there is a recipe that takes the place of potato-based, flour-thickened chowder. Behold, one of my favorite meals of all time: the humble soup ‘n’ sandwich combo. My version is a creamy veggie chowder with a creamy brie-and-avocado sandwich.
In which there’s a video. Apropos of nothing is this amazing Polaroid video! Don’t even get me started on the soundtrack. It’s, like, Star Trek-er-iffic.
