This isn't a real post. I just had to point out something horrid. You know, I don't pay a lot of attention to fashion. My ideal of dressing up is jeans instead of yoga pants. I noticed when the '80's invaded Target: leg warmers, off-the-shoulder sweatshirts. Headbands. diagonal stripes. It was a style horror show.… Continue reading There Aren’t Enough Spanx In The World…

Mythic Monday: Lorelie and the Siren
I have to say, I chuckle a bit to myself every time I hear this name. Lorelai/Loralie/Lorelay...doesn't it sound beautiful? It rolls of the tongue like a melody. I suppose that's fitting, considering the Lorelie is a Germanic Siren. The Siren: supernaturally gorgeous women with voices impossible to ignore, who lure men to their deaths,… Continue reading Mythic Monday: Lorelie and the Siren
Mythic Monday: Lilith
Tonight's post is dedicated to one of my favorite women in mythology: the rebellious badass, Lilith. For those of you old enough remember Cheers, not that Lilith. This is my first post on any of the myths surrounding Abrahamic religions, and I'm acutely aware of the potential here for me to piss someone off. Let me… Continue reading Mythic Monday: Lilith
This Is a Real Post. I am not funny…today.
I originally titled this "not a real post" but it occurs to me this sort of...confession, I suppose, is more "real" than the snarky commentary posts. Someone asked me once why I write anything personal and put it out there for consumption, the argument being that it's intended to elicit emotional response. I maintain it's… Continue reading This Is a Real Post. I am not funny…today.
Filed Under "What The HELL, Texas?"
See the smoke and the Firefighters? They're putting out a truck fire. What's left of the truck. Hi Firemen!So yesterday I was on the way back from Galveston to Houston on the freeway, when my super awesome friend Mary (she's driving) pulled off on an exit ramp because HOLY SHIT FIRE and smoke...which causes traffic.… Continue reading Filed Under "What The HELL, Texas?"
Ok Seriously Yahoo, I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE OFFERING HERE.
What the hell does this mean? What the FUCK is an American Parasite?THAT QUESTION IS RHETORICAL PEOPLE. No snarky political comments here. Really.Ok, first of all, if you begin this sort of inflammatory email with "Dear Friend" you're already losing credibility. When I can't actually copy any of the text (because doing so launches a… Continue reading Ok Seriously Yahoo, I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE OFFERING HERE.
Mythic Monday: Bucephalus
I've been completely enamored with horses since (literally) before I could walk. It's probably not a terrible surprise, then, that one of my favorite ancient legends is the tale of how Alexander the Great came to win a horse so great his name is still remembered in some circles nearly 2,500 years later. Walter Farley… Continue reading Mythic Monday: Bucephalus
We’d Gladly Eat YOU, You Know…
The boys are convinced they're starving and totally unimpressed that I left them outside until AFTER their water and food bowls were filled.I tried to get the licking-of-the-chops picture, but they were uncooperative. Hey, is that water? I'm hungry. Can we come in now? Fuck you. We're not doing the super creepy staring-while-licking-our-chops thing. NONCHALANT!They're… Continue reading We’d Gladly Eat YOU, You Know…
Mythic Monday: Minotaur
Tonight's post is brought to you by request of a certain super awesome security dude/friend/geek extraordinaire. We're going back to Greek mythology tonight for one of the most iconic monsters ever. The Minotaur. I love this myth, because it's full of tragedy, horror, evil, physically improbable impregnation, and ultimately I can't help but root for… Continue reading Mythic Monday: Minotaur
Please Keep Your Feet Inside The Vomit Tank At All Times…
You guys, I may be just a wee bit tipsy and stuff because restaurants in Texas don't fuck around with the whole margarita in your Tequila in your margarita thing, and I apologize in advance if this post sucks. Or makes your tummy queasy. But why, for the love all that's holy or unholy...WHY? WHY… Continue reading Please Keep Your Feet Inside The Vomit Tank At All Times…
