Update: Screaming Worms.
Turns out it's "web worms" (a couple people called them silkworms, but I didn't see any silk...just gross maggoty things that moved in time with the beat of Chewy's feet as he walked by). Husband thinks Chewy is purposefully amassing an army of worms to create air-support (as they do eventually turn into moths, after… Continue reading Update: Screaming Worms.
What the HELL is in my tree??
In true Texas fashion I've discovered a new horror in my backyard. What the fuck IS THIS???? I plan on spraying wasp killer on it tonight, in hopes it kills the dancing worm things inside (which move in unison, by the way, because that's not creepy as fuck AT ALL). This state is going to kill me.
Scully Explains Feminism in the BEST WAY.
I've been watching Netflix streamed crime shows lately, particularly ones from other countries. Oddly enough, it was in a serial killer show with Gillian Anderson (SCULLY!!) and Jaime Dornden (Once Upon a Time, 50 Shades) that has boiled down the best description of everyday sexism I've ever seen. Gillian Anderson, a special police investigator, is… Continue reading Scully Explains Feminism in the BEST WAY.

I have no good title for this…It’s an anniversary of sorts.
It's been two years this weekend since Husband and a friend were on his motorcycle when they were schmucked by a drunk asshole. I say schmucked because said drunk asshole was going about 45mph and didn't slow down. At all. He pinned Husband's leg between the truck and the bike, breaking his pelvis in two… Continue reading I have no good title for this…It’s an anniversary of sorts.
Mythic Monday: Artemis and Actaeon
It's Mythic Monday, and I'm writing tonight about Artemis and her vengeance upon a peeping Greek. But first, you should know I have a bit of a problem with blank paper. I CAN'T STOP BUYING IT.

Mythic Monday – Banshee
Are you of Irish, Scottish, or Welsh descent? Is your clan name O'Grady, O'Neill, Caomhanachs, , O'Conchobhair, or O'Briain? What about O'Grady, O'Neill, Kavanaugh, O'Connor, or O'Brien? Then you may have a Banshee. Do not be alarmed: they're not the screaming monster portrayed on World of Warcraft. I'll explain the clan names in just a bit. In Gaelic,… Continue reading Mythic Monday – Banshee
Mythic Monday (Sort of): Yggdrasill – If You Can Pronounce It, You May Be A Viking
First, I'm late. I know it. There was death and sadness that I found really odd since I didn't know the man at all except for the characters he played but I felt sad anyway. And then there were assholes making snarky superior comments about how Robin Williams is going to hell for committing suicide,… Continue reading Mythic Monday (Sort of): Yggdrasill – If You Can Pronounce It, You May Be A Viking
