You know, people REALLY overuse the term virgin.Today, I got spam advertising 100% Organic Virgin Coconut Oil.Sigh.Let's ignore the fact that I can't really imagine how someone grows inorganic coconuts, since coconuts are plant life and therefore BY DEFINITION they are organic. Ok, so you want to argue "organic" in this case means grown without… Continue reading But, What Kind of Person Deflowers COCONUTS?

The Moral of the Story: Never Enter A Battle Of Wits with a Welsh Grandma?
Not all myths are heroic journeys or great love stories. Sometimes, a simple scene houses a battle of wits. And sometimes, the small battles have long consequences. I found this while looking up a town in Wales because of a Netflix show. I do adore wise woman tales.A thousand years ago, the Devil decided to… Continue reading The Moral of the Story: Never Enter A Battle Of Wits with a Welsh Grandma?
A Must-Read-Review of "The Confessions: An Original Sinners Collection" (No spoilers here, promise)
So if you've stopped here in my little corner of crazy more than once, you already know I'm a huge fan of Tiffany Reisz's work. I reviewed her Original Sinners series last fall after finishing The Queen, and it's possible I crossed fingers, toes, eyes, and legs (which seems a little wrong considering the subject… Continue reading A Must-Read-Review of "The Confessions: An Original Sinners Collection" (No spoilers here, promise)
It’s Getting Crowded in Here
So 2016 is my "finish a goddamned book" year. It's not a stupid resolution I won't follow after a month because cake inevitably kicks the gym's ass: it's a self-imposed deadline to get ON my proverbial writing buns, sit my ass in front of the keyboard, and finish something.At some point, I might learn not… Continue reading It’s Getting Crowded in Here
Huffington Post: Reminding Me There’s ALWAYS Something Worse
In today's science section:Octopus Valentine's Day Sex Session Scrapped Over Cannibalism FearsSo this was my first Valentine's Day as a not-married person in a loooong time. And I'll admit, while I consider Vday to be mostly an indicator that chocolate is about to go on sale I did have a moment or five of sad.… Continue reading Huffington Post: Reminding Me There’s ALWAYS Something Worse
"Duran Duran DOES NOT Sing The Song Of My People" (This post is Not Safe For Anyone*)
I seriously considered leaving this entire post blank**, because in this case the title really does say it all. Honestly, I laughed so hard at that one (which was dropped during what I thought was a totally normal conversation) I wheezed and cried a little.Also? Since I generally anonymize my friends/family on this blog unless… Continue reading "Duran Duran DOES NOT Sing The Song Of My People" (This post is Not Safe For Anyone*)
So, Googling THAT was probably stupid.
Yet another psycho's path to my blog.So, someone (hopefully human, but really I'm a little up in the air on that assumption right now) found this blog by googling "cerberus eating baby".First, what the actual fuck?Second, due to poor punctuation placement I'm unclear whether this particular weirdo was looking for a baby who eats hellhounds,… Continue reading So, Googling THAT was probably stupid.
Book Review: Harmony Black by Craig Schaefer
Amazon Prime recommended this one to me (how Amazon manages to recommend anything to me given the weird and random things I buy is really beyond my algorithmic abilities), and for once the interwebs read me correctly.Harmony Black by Craig Schaefer was completely worth the time. I loved this book enough to read it in… Continue reading Book Review: Harmony Black by Craig Schaefer
"Happy" Isn’t My Goal
There's this absolutely fantastic video going around on social media in which Jada Pinkett-Smith tells her daughter, eloquently and with the sort of power only she has, that the messaging in this country to women about being wives and mothers needs to change. Her point is that women are made to feel guilty or "less"… Continue reading "Happy" Isn’t My Goal
At Least My Weird Is Universal?
Yet another way in which I am not a normal woman popped up in the last week. Yes, I am pretty much a weirdo across all genres. Where's my girl scout* badge for THAT?? Over the holidays (a word which should be said quietly with a reverent "thank the Gods for them, thank the Gods they're… Continue reading At Least My Weird Is Universal?
