The Shattered Prayer

Its been a while since we’ve done Rob’s weekly horoscopes. They’ve just been boring. Boring I say! But this week is a first. Those beloved Libras of the rose-colored glasses and the horoscopes of everything good and fluffy and wonderful, actually aren’t so rose-colored this week. Someone must have complained to Rob. Some disgruntled Scorpio. Or […]

Okay, most of you who know me, know that this has probably not been my worst day ever. I’ve seen far worse; but that was then. This is now. And right now, it feels like the worse day ever.

I woke up to a Trojan. And not the good kind of Trojan. Neither the latex kind, […]

I was going to post one of my grandmother’s recipes, but her recipe box is more disorganized than, well… me. I couldn’t find what I was looking for. So instead here’s a nice autumn soup.
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 tbsp. butter
2 cups pumpkin pulp
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 butternut squash, peeled and chopped
1 tsp. […]

I picked up a book from the library, and once I’d finally finished all the HP (up until the 6th book - can’t get the 7th yet), sat down to read something a little more adult. A little fucking TOO adult for some people I guess.
Some christian jackass had crossed out all the words […]

I should be in bed, but I’m waiting for my bedclothes to get out of the dryer (where they will be toasty on this Fall night — I know it is summer, but it is 63 degrees outside right now and it was in the 50s yesterday!  Far cry from “every day is like a […]

I’ve been out of it for a couple of days.  First it was another sleep study, during which I hardly slept, thereby invalidating the entire reason I was there.  Then it was horrific cramps in my stomach.  If I were a lady, I’d’ve thought I was having a baby, it hurt so bad.  No nausea.  […]

That was the subject of the email I received from some activist group or another. I get so many these days they all become a blur, and I think because of this vast proliferation of activism emails, I may well have run out of give-a-shits.
What’s the last thing I’d want to find on my […]

My coffee tasted a little… okay a lot… like DDT this morning, which has me wondering who’s trying to kill me. And please don’t ask how I know what DDT tastes like. Same way I know what sodium hydroxide tastes like, thanks.
Was kinda hopin’ R the P would write a post this weekend, so […]

Okay, so I’m going to try to pry myself away from Harry Potter long enough to make a post. Here goes.
I just love R the P and Mojo.
Yep, we did have a fun time Monday night. We mostly upheld our yearly traditions, except for Mojo, who had the enchiladas rather than the giant […]

No I’m not talking about: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
I break that one all the time anyway. I prefer just about any god to Jehovah. Sorry there, Jehovah.
I’m talkin’ ’bout my first commandment.
Thou shalt perform no house-cleaning, nor tidying, nor organizing of thy material goods, for it is an abomination […]

My baby Bea is 8 years old today. Thank you bea for eight wonderful years of cuddly, furry, sometimes pointy and bitey love.
When Pi and I decided to expand our family (not in the crazy way he’s doing now, but in a more considered, Planned Parenthood kind of way), we decided to adopt from […]

I used to get so excited by the meteor showers. I still get excited, but there’s nowhere in this neighborhood thats unlit, unless I want to go to crack-alley, which could be exciting, but not the kind of exciting I’m looking for.
And every time a meteor shower rolls around I always tell the story of […]

All day yesterday I was worried about R the P. Not the trip, not the driving, not for his safety. I knew he’d be fine. No, I was truly and deeply concerned that he’d miss Dr Who.
I have no idea if he did miss it or not, but I hope not, since Mark […]

Once again a vacation involving Family.  That’s no vacation.  To quote French and Saunders, “I can’t wait to get away from the crap that is our lives!”  But we’ll see Che!  Then we’ll be just like the Dawn & French parody of Thelma and Louise.  “What are you doing, Thelma?  You’re crazy!”  “I am drinking, […]

So I’m reading the first Harry Potter book now. I’m a little disappointed actually. The way the christians go on about it, I was expecting maybe a hybrid between 120 Days of Sodom and The Satanic Bible. Which might actually be interesting reading come to think of it.
Okay, we now have an Aries among […]
