Weetacon IV - The Meatening.
Monday, January 28th, 2008Yesterday as Bullshit and I were wandering around the Mars Cheese Castle (which, for the uninitiated, is your basic cheese store/bakery/souvenir shop/cocktail lounge) I finally came up with some good answers to “Why the fuck are you going to Green Fucking Bay in the middle of winter? Are you crazy?”
As for the second part of […]
Morning.
Thursday, January 17th, 2008At six forty-five I wake up to the sound of Little Stevie Wonder screaming “YEAH! YEAH!” from the blue-glowing CD player at my left, a Christmas gift from Bullshit’s parents. It’s one of those iPod/CD/clock radio/stereo deals that was so very generous a gift that it still leaves me somewhat guilt-stricken every time I listen […]
I Am Now Two-Thirds Cookie.
Sunday, December 30th, 2007We had a fantastic Christmas. I was spoiled terribly with books and movies and candles and clothes and some gift cards and money and a Shiatsu massage cushion (from my dad, right on dad!). I was actually very overwhelmed.
The J-man got some Lego sets from Santa and some video games, games and toys, and a […]
Star Warrrrrrrs.
Monday, October 29th, 2007Before I get started on Star Wars, here is the new hair:
Doubtless looking a little fried, but still as tough as nails (and I do mean that in the proper sense of the word). If I could give my hair a Purple Heart for all the bleaching and crap it has withstood for the […]
I’m An Asshole…
Monday, October 22nd, 2007Yesterday our church arranged a hayride and bonfire out at a farm out in Upper Butt Crack, Indiana; so off to Upper Butt Crack, Indiana we drove with my sister and her kids following.
(I unfortunately don’t have any photos of this event because my camera battery crapped out - I thought I’d recharged it, but […]
Lollapalooza Recap.
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007I don’t have pictures from Lollapalooza yet because my old, groaning computer is protesting wildly at the thought of accepting any new data, but allow me to tell you that it was a fantastic, fantastic time. And, thanks to a plethora of diet pills mixed with the new up-your-blood-pressure medication (sorry, doctor, I know […]
Cheese Curds and Booyah.
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007This weekend I am traveling to Wisconsin because I have decided that Chicago does not have enough cold weather or snow to suit my taste.
Actually I am descending upon Green Bay with a bunch of friends at the behest of the lovely and talented Weetabix, who is taking us on a big bus to several […]
I’m So Cool I Bring Cool With Me On Vacation.
Monday, January 15th, 2007Arizona was lovely and relaxing, albeit cold. It actually got down to the forties when we were there, shattering my image of Arizona as neverending-ninety-degree paradise and making me feel a little stupid for packing all those tank tops, but causing me to feel a little less whiny about Chicago weather.
It’s not so bad […]
Jen Did Not Overdose On Nog.
Thursday, January 4th, 2007I have been the victim of some cruel and horrible cable internet influenza that wormed its way into my phone line and wreaked havoc, causing my little computer box to become sick and take to its little computer bed for far too long a time.
I have dealt with this in the normal way, by swearing […]
A Sparkle Queen I Am Not.
Monday, December 18th, 2006The album of the week is Jenny Lewis’s Rabbit Fur Coat. I find myself having a hard time coming up with any words to describe this other than “indie rock/country/folk-type harmonies that will stick in your head in the good way”.
But then I’m no music critic.
It’s highly worth checking out. Just take my […]
