Having a teenage brother is more often annoying than not (though despite my complaints, he really is a good kid; he's just a teenager), but the scene in Little Miss Sunshine where Frank tells Dwayne that he's not nearly as stupid as he looks makes me grin every single time, because OMG, that is every non-argumentative exchange I ever have with ( Read more... )

Black bean wraps are delicious but tricky; beans do not believe in being restrained by tortillas. It is important to remember this and keep track of the escapees when one is eating off one's lap while sitting cross-legged in a long skirt, so that you can corral them before standing.

(Unless you willingly take five thousand freaking dollars and promise to play by Stacy and Clinton's rules; then you honor your word, quit complaining, and ( Read more... )

While trying to add new songs to my ipod, I managed to erase its entire library instead. This is an excellent example of how well technology and I get along. Dagnabbit.

You guys remember how I first spotted a Christmas commercial this year way back in late September? The trend continues. The grocery store I went to tonight had Cadbury's creme eggs prominently displayed. And another rack of caramel- and peanut butter-filled chocolate eggs. That's right, folks: Easter candy! In....um, DecemberI'd like to resign from ( Read more... )
