This past week has been hell for me — not only was am I ill with a cold, Aerin has suddenly become super clingy with me. For instance, I’ll be standing behind her and she’ll start screaming because she can’t see me. I can’t even pee in peace because she’ll be trying to climb all over me. […]
Popular Websites as Classic Boardgames
Brought to you by Hasbro Game Night, these mashups are nothing short of uproariously accurate! My favorite is Reddit as Hungry Hungry Hippos — as soon as I read it, I didn’t even need to look at the picture because I was already thinking, “Yep, exactly!” Facebook as Operation: You may also like: Browser Girls If Web […]
Christmas Tree Decorating Guidelines
What’s that you say? There are only a dozen days left before Christmas and we have yet to put up our tree? Please. That’s nothing to this family of procrastinators. And just in case there are others out there in the same boat — Bueller? Hello? I know we can’t be the only ones! — who may […]
Memories from My 32nd
So Claire surprised me with a bouquet of flowers on my birthday. (Her grandparents had paid for it, but they told me that she had picked it out and she presented it to me while shouting, “Heppy buh-she-dey umma!”) Of course I immediately placed the flowers in a vase and displayed them prominently on our kitchen […]
Wednesday Rewind: The 10 Levels of Intimacy in Today’s Communication
Once in a while, when I get bored, I like to look through the archives of this blog and reflect upon (and laugh at!) all the things I have shared with the web over the years. Because, heck, after 1,801 posts, even I don’t remember everything. There’s also the braggart in me who likes to shout, “Hey! […]
A Visualization of Star Wars Enthusiasm
Here’s a pretty funny (but mostly accurate!) panel of comics about how much we’ve cared about Star Wars, starting from the 1970s all the way to the 2010s. I still can’t believe it’s been thirty-five years since Episode IV first came out; can you? You may also like: Once Upon an Internet The Jedi Trainer’s Guide to […]
Calvin and Hobbes Search Engine!
You guys, I discovered the best thing today… A Calvin and Hobbes search engine!!! Calvin and Hobbes remains my favorite comic strip despite the fact that it is no longer published. And as I have written in the past, one of my all-time favorite gifts from J is the Calvin and Hobbes Boxed Set. I can’t […]
Drinking in LA vs. Drinking in NYC
What do you guys think? Pretty accurate? I can’t remember the last time I drank drank in LA (as in go out to a bar/lounge, not just have a beer or two with dinner…or get tipsy at a wedding 😉 ), but what I do remember are the early last calls and the relatively cheaper drinks. Oh, […]
Because I’m Sure I Can’t Be the Only One
There are some things I find weird about myself (sometimes, in conjunction with others in my life) but I know there must be others out there who do the same…right? I occasionally weigh myself before and after pooping just to see if there’s a difference. (It’s never as much as I expect or hope.) Every few […]
Star Wars Business Cards
The past few days have been rough. Little Aerin fell ill for the very first time in her life — thank goodness she had gotten her flu shot last month! — and I ended up catching her cold too. We sent Claire away to her grandparents’ in hopes that she won’t get sick, and the […]
