Months ago, my blogroll vanished. Don’t ask me how. While my technical skills are admittedly sucktastic, even I’m not dense enough to delete entire pages. Or am I?
Whatever happened, I have spent the past two hours typing, clicking, singing fragments of the alphabet (“LMNOP… HIJK… QRST…”), [...]

When I was a little girl, I dated Grackle.
After one of our early dates, I discovered that I’d had [highly visible] food stuck in my teeth for HOURS. I was horrified. When cornered, Grackle admitted [...]

Perhaps this pin would be a good reminder. Let’s [...]
A few nights ago, I watched Oliver!, the 1968 film version of the West End musical adaptation of Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Sorry, I don’t feel like improving that sentence. Tough it out.
ANYWAY, thinking about Bill Sikes naturally reminded me that Tori of Anytime Yoga is putting together a blog carnival for Domestic Violence Awareness [...]
Saturdays are great… … except that so few of my favorite bloggers write on the weekend. I wake up, make a cup of tea, curl up in front of the computer, and… nothing.

In third grade, I somehow won the school spelling bee. Imagine me, a scruffy nobody, new to public education, defeating all those other kids! The glory, the mystery, the wonder of it all!
My prize was, as I announced to a friend, a [...]
My older sister makes her own liquid laundry detergent. When I asked her how, she sent me this recipe, which I see was later revised and clarified.
As a lover of novelty and new experiences, I set forth to boldly assemble my own laundry detergent. C’est très facile, yo!
My ingredients:

Friends, it has been far too long since my last self-imposed challenge. I aced Fancy Underwear Week and [nearly] trounced a whole month of Body Hair Laissez Faire— but those were 6-7 months ago. Time is a’wastin!
NEW GOAL: 30 Days of Vegan Eating
Oh look, it’s a brand new 30 day month!
August however, [...]
