(Image source) While practicing kicks in my self-defense class, I heard the familiar riiiiiip of fabric giving out. I say “familiar” because hey, my thighs have been rubbing since the instant I reached puberty. Inspect any of my jeans/trousers/sweats, and see for yourself. The inner-thigh-covering material of my legwear always [...] 
This weekend, I saw The Last of the Mohicans for the first time. My thoughts are as follows: 1. Don’t let the poster fool you: Daniel Day-Lewis was not the Last of the Mohicans. In fact, no one was. The Mahicans/Mohicans and Mohegans are alive and well. More accurate titles might [...] 
( A flashback to October 27, 2008. Nothing like a good parable for a Sunday morning, eh?)
(“You gosh darn heathens! I’ve got half a mind to let you all drown THAT’S RIGHT I SAID IT.”) I don’t have a car. For me, getting to Wal-Mart requires at least three hours and [...] 
As a young’un, I couldn’t tell Burt Reynolds from Tom Selleck. To me, they both fell into that broad category called “older dudes with mustaches” and were therefore interchangeable. I had the same problem with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, neither of whom I’d ever actually seen in a movie. They both had dark [...] 
Some people ‘save’ sex for marriage. Some people save money for a rainy day. Me, I’m saving Jane Austen novels. I’ve read a couple and found them delicious from beginning to end. Therefore, I’m saving the rest. After all, I can never read them For The First Time again, and it’s [...]

In conversation, I refer to Ian as my “boyfriend,” despite the fact that he’s well past boyhood and our relationship is more than friendly. Manfriend? “Lover” might be more accurate (if soppy), but I’d be afraid to say it in most social settings. Should we resurrect POSSLQ? [...]
(At the end of a long day, it’s nice to throw off your clothes, drop your scythe, and lounge on a mountaintop alter with your peacock. Image source.) The very best thing about blogging is getting to know fantastic people. On November 11, 2006, I posted the following words to [...] 
(Source of these delightful images) Back in November, I started doing something I’ve meant to do for a long, long time. Changing my underwear. No, that’s ridiculous; the underwear has to want to change. What I REALLY started: self-defense classes. Specifically, a combination of Krav Maga and [...] 
(A flashback to May 9, 2007) (Image source) Those who know me well know that I am deeply, fervently, profoundly paranoid. When life doesn’t present me enough worries, I create my own. Recently, I was struck by a sobering realization; I have hogged more than my share of the world’s romance. It’s true! [...] |
