Whimsy —
Well, technically, the cats belong to my housemate. Which means that I get to live with cats, but don’t have to clean up their poop.
For those of you who don’t understand how excited I am about this, you should understand that I spend my entire childhood begging for a cat. Then when I left for […]
… if I wanted to have one of those, an oh-my-god what-the-fuck barbecue, at my house, what supplies would I need? Other than a grill and some charcoal and lighter fluid and food, which are obvious. Lollerskates? Condoms? Religious kitsch? Whiskey and some ballroom dance?
Help me out here; I think this could be a worthy […]

Inspired by Pablo Neruda. Fill in the blanks:
I want to do to you what ______ does to ________.
… children do to politicians
… Midwestern grandmothers do to Jello
… oil does to the American economy
… slumming yuppies do to all the good bars in town
I can’t write as sexily as Pablo Neruda. Life is so hard sometimes.
I woke up at 4:30 this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep until 7:30. Graah! Is all I have to say to that. And, I met a set of potential housemates last night, for beer, which motivates today’s Oracle question: if it bothers you that your housemates don’t replace the toilet paper roll, but […]
I hereby declare a new holiday. Here’s how it works: the day after Valentine’s Day, go to the drugstore and buy a bunch of crappy candy on deep discount. Hand it out to people and smooch them!
The end.
Last night I dreamed that I was buying bras. My choices were pea green, and olive green. Am I the only one whose dreams are always this boring?
I haven’t felt in need of mystic Oracular iTunes advice this week. But it’s been a while since I’ve done search requests!

My immune system is built of sturdy Icelandic draft ponies. It must be; why else would my roommate’s entire respiratory system be riddled with one-way portals from the Plane of Snot, while I am blissfully healthy? Perhaps there’s some sort of snot portal exclusion principle at play here, but that wouldn’t explain my desire to […]
It seems that all the cool kids of Bay Area geo-blogging were at Kevin Starr’s lecture (on the lessons learned from the 2020 San Francisco earthquake) last night. I was not; I was doing homework. I’m not cool.
But in the spirit of commemorating destruction, let’s see if, in addition to being uncool, I’m also doomed: […]
