I'm filling out paperwork for the spring bellydance sessions I teach in two community education districts, and I'm reminded of a post I did a couple of years ago about this exact topic. Original post here: http://nopithyphrase.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-i-bellydance-this-is-not-funny-post.htmlIn other news, "Bring Xena Back" was one of the ways people found my blog on today's stats. I'm furiously… Continue reading Random Bits: Xena, Lazy Eyed Lispy Dogs, Belly Dance. These items are unrelated.

Things Are Weird Right Now, So: DISTRACTIONS!
There are some bigass changes in the works in my house, and the next couple of months are probably going to drive me to baldness.

It is not currently, as I greatly enjoy Thin Mints and the… Continue reading Things Are Weird Right Now, So: DISTRACTIONS!

The Desolate One: Ephelba and Mr. Bill’s Spawn
As it turns out, poor Samael the Starbucks Greeting Demon is unable to withstand the violent changes in Minnesota weather. Slowly but surely, he's following in Mom's (the Wicked Witch, of course) damp footsteps as we hover around 32 degrees today. Clearly, the expression on his ever-shrinking face is that of his father, Mr. Bill.… Continue reading The Desolate One: Ephelba and Mr. Bill’s Spawn
Today’s Caffine Served by Samael, The Desolate One
This morning I stopped at Starbucks, because I'm an addict and I'm not sorry I stop every morning that I go into the office (today is an office day), and this little dude greeted me:Samuel waving hello...or, screaming for help.

You should pay more attention. You should be sexier. You should be more professional. You shouldn't act so crazy. You should be more fun. You shouldn't hide.… Continue reading I’m Done SHOULDing All Over Myself
