My love is bigger than your love (SING IT!)

Stuff I am currently obsessed with:

Burt’s Bees Replenishing lip balm with Pomegranate Oil – it smells kind of like candy and makes your lips vaguely pinker and shiny and feels awesome. I like the minty stuff, too, but sometimes you just can’t deal with all that tingle, and this does nicely.

Day one of the rest of the month

Reasons I love Halloween:
Pumpkins, witches, ghosts, zombies - how can you not love scary decorations?
Candy and candy corn and chocolate and more candy and just general Frenzies of Sugar.
Yesterday I wore my fuzzy pink bathrobe and slippers at work, because I could call it a “costume” and get away with it. I could’ve take a [...]

try to take over the world

Right now, things are a little weird and awkward at my house. Marriage = not so sweet all the time. But, whatever. There are two things at my house right now that are not so awkward. That are, in fact, awesome and need to be tried at once.
Thing one: cranberry [...]

Ephemera

I can’t, for the life of me, think of anything solid to post.  I am reading More, Now, Again, and I just keep wanting to write as well as Elizabeth Wurtzel does.  Half as well, really.  I read about this snot-covered, cocaine-snorting mess of a woman; someone who ignores her friends and sleeps through interviews [...]

Missed connections - old self, where did she go?

I used to be a smart, depressed, feminist girl.  When I met my husband, I was reading Naomi Wolf’s Promiscuities on my lunch breaks at work.  I was in love with Prozac Diary and I lent out my copy of Prozac Nation to everyone, because it was just so beautiful and so true.  I carried [...]

Can’t blog, reading, can’t stop (send help)

I was up until 3:30 last night and highly expect tonight to be more of the same.  I forgot how fucking good HP is until I started reading this on Sunday.  Hopefully I’ll have rescued myself from my HP stupor tomorrow or something.  My brain could explode from trying too hard to escape and do [...]

Which brings me to the truth

I’ve just started reading Which Brings Me To You, a collaborative novel in letters by Steve Almond and Julianna Baggott, and even though the reviews that say it’s overwritten for letters (“This book is full of superb writing, and that is precisely its problem. Billed as a ‘novel in confessions,’ ‘Which Brings Me to You’ [...]

Boring and bookish

First, I am shamefaced at the way I ended yesterday’s post. It worked out better in my head earlier, but by the time I typed it up I couldn’t remember how I worked out the end, and so I just slapped something on there and shut my eyes and hit publish. You will [...]

Weirdness

I have this strange feeling today, like a running-around-like-a-chicken-with-its-head-cut-off sort of feeling.  This would be fine, except that I woke up, drank my coffee, watched The Nightmare Before Christmas with Boyo while riding the exercise bike, ate French toast, played Battleship, colored, read Prince Caspian aloud, took a 2 hour nap, and then went to [...]

Books and music and movies, oh my!

Ugh, ugh, lazy girl.  I’ve been spending all my time pretending to work while actually reading celebrity gossip blogs (I’m so in love with Go Fug Yourself at the moment — it’s hilarious) and cheesy chick lit novels and basically dicking off.  And when I’m not at work, Boyo and I have been at the [...]
