My husband has XM Radio and has introduced me to some new music. Actually, now that I think of it, we discovered some of these songs through commercials. Which is kind of embarrassing. Also, I really want to work at Sam Adams. Anyway, new music is great, right? Totally. Except that I have a somewhat […]

Oh, I’m not so good in the kitchen…
I try really hard to do a great job cooking, but I am not what you would call one who achieves in this arena. My boyfriend actually convinced me at one point that water could be burned. He’s really good at making me believe ridiculous things and there’s always that moment when I go, “That’s […]
Cheetos! Who knew?
While only a part-time purveyor of their tasty crunchy snacks, I do find the current Cheetos commercial campaign Hi-LAR-ious! First off, that debonair English accent that Chester sports? “Yeeees, we know.” Love it! And did you see that guy dance??? ~ I fell hard for this one first, though. Chopsticks on repeat? Check.

“So it’s rad, literally?”
I have a love hate relationship with television; combined with the inability to turn it off once it’s on. Sometimes I just turn it on for background noise to keep my delusional thoughts at a dull roar. This results in marathon Law and Order CI and SVU viewings when I’ve already seen all of them […]
Uncommon Encounter
When I was twelve, I visited a Native American museum in Taos, NM. On one wall was a circle of wood. On it, written in a spiral that culminated in a crude print of a dragonfly, was a description of the role that dragonflies played in the lives of warriors of this tribe. I wish […]
Not that there’s anything funny about the Bernard Madoff scandal, but…
I’d like to report that while listening to NPR on my commute home, the radio reporter (is that what they’re called?) tried to say that Bernard Madoff was being brought up on fraud charges but instead of saying “Fraud Charges,” she said, “Fart Charges” and I almost drove off of the road, I was laughing […]
