Alas, poor Ronald! I knew him, Halloween.

Ronald!

This picture was taken last October in a local McDonald’s franchise:

Something tells me no one consulted corporate headquarters.

It's a bird! It's a plane!

No, it’s two out of three primary colors! Superman was ahead of his time.

Mystery at the Co-op

UltravioletFace

It was a warm night at Jaunty Headquarters. I leafed through the co-op’s current sales flier, hoping to find a bargain. Times were hard, even for an ace detective.

Before I could toss the flier aside, its third-rate ad copy caught my eye:

“Why are the flavors of spinach and artichoke always paired [...]

Excuse Me, Princess!

Friends, I feel betrayed. Only today I discovered this rightly-infamous bit o’ pop culture:

That show aired 20 years ago, and I’d still be in the dark if it weren’t for Ryan North and his awe-inspiring “Link’s Sarcasm” graph.

I laughed until my face hurt, but sobered up when struck by the darker [...]

Meg and the Silk

littlewomen

This semester, I re-read Louisa May Alcott’s classic, beloved, time-tested, heartwarming, [insert further adjectives] novel Little Women.

I read with purpose; I needed to know how much Meg had spent on silk, and the internet wouldn’t tell me. That’s right; I read an entire book instead of flipping to the pertinent chapter, singlehandedly taking procrastination to new heights.

The Wedgiemakers

Evil Underpants

Into every package of ladies’ underwear creeps one renegade, hellion pair bent on ruining your life. Panties that shift, twist, and ride up. Wear them by mistake, and you will spend the whole day ducking behind corners, covertly adjusting your wayward undies.

If you’re fortunate, you’ll discover this pair during a quiet day at home. “Whoa nelly!” you may exclaim, “These are renegade, hellion [...]

To Do Before 30 **Updated**

DesertSand

My life has never been action-packed. Lazy-packed, more like it. Thought-packed, if we’re being charitable.

To ensure that the next 5.5 years are more adventurous than the previous 24, I submit the following list:

Finish my *%$#!!! Music Education degree, for cryin’ out loud

Take a dance class

Monday’s Child

BabyBeckyCropped

While reading  Megan’s blog, I noticed a reference to the ol’ Monday’s Child poem. Remember it?

Monday’s child is fair of face, Tuesday’s child is full of grace, Wednesday’s child is full of woe, Thursday’s child has far to go, Friday’s child is loving and giving, Saturday’s child works hard for his living, And the [...]

Introduction

Back

Dear Y’all,

My interests include singer-songwriters, costumes, baking, minimalism, hiking, and daydreaming about complete [...]
