First, let me tell you what happened Thursday night. Sis let Winston out to pee around 9. He’s been barking up a storm at something in the backyard the last few weeks and lo, he found it on Thursday. He comes in the house and Sis says, “Hey, he stinks. I think he got hit by a skunk.” At the same time, he is running into my room. So I yell, “ ( Read more... )

It was a crazy ass day! Sis woke me up at 6am to ask if I smelled something burning. It did smell a little weird in my room, but not like burning. I went to the kitchen and I didn't smell anything at all there. She wanted to stay home from work, thought something was wrong. I told her staying home from work because you smell something weird is ( Read more... )

I had the craziest dream last night. It started with someone in my home, attacking me and I was all, "Do you know who I am friends with? Bo Dennis. The succubus." And then some of my 'friends' showed up to help me fight - like the strangest multi-fandom crossover ever. Teen Wolf, Lost Girl, Avengers, Hunger Games, Sesame Street (Big Bird was ( Read more... )

IT'S INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!!! I HOPE YOU'VE ALL BEING SAYING, 'ARGH, AVAST, MATEY,' ALL DAMN DAY ( Read more... )

1) CONGRATS TO RICK PORCELLO FOR HIS FIRST CAREER COMPLETE GAME!! That is quite a feat! He had a chance earlier this season, but they pulled him at the last second. This time around they had a big enough lead and he had a couple innings where he only threw like 7 or 8 pitches, so they let him go for it! All nine innings and Detroit took the ( Read more... )

My dad turned 65 on Thursday, so on Saturday myself, my sister, brother, sis-in-law and both the kids went up to the hospital to have lunch with him. He seemed to make a real effort for the day - got dressed, cleaned up and was waiting in the lobby when we arrived. He made it about an hour and a half before he said he had to go back to bed, which ( Read more... )

To preface this story, let me say that K's middle child - henceforth known as Boy - was born not long before I - as K so lovingly puts it - 'disappeared on him', way back when. So by the time we reconnected, this kid was around 13. And even last summer when Boy was working in the clinic - he just looked so freaking young. But this summer I ( Read more... )

I read 7 books last year - (I almost forgot the Buffy book!). Well, okay, 7 if you count the comic set The Nephew loaned me, which I do because I walked away with a killer headache afterwards, so I'm counting it! Now I remember why I stopped reading comics so heavily.

I think I talked about all of these while I was reading them actually. ( Some minor spoilers. )

So, after months of trash-talking 50 Shades of Grey, I finally decided to actually read it. I am regretting that decision immensely ( Read more... )

This afternoon I was in the living room and I looked out our big front windows and saw that the sky was this wall of dark grey mass, and yet the sun was shining beautifully down on everything in an almost surreal way and the trees were blowing in the wind just enough to send a light shower of falling leaves down ( Read more... )
