  • Pictures

    I had a not so original idea this morning: Take a picture of what you see out back every day for one month. I’m not sure if I’ll follow through with this for two reasons. One, I’m lazy. And two, it’s been done before (and flawlessly) by so many other (more interesting) people. I think…

  • And the whole house, it shakes

    We live near the BQE (Brooklyn, Queens Expressway.) It’s literally about three or four houses down—houses that are butted up right next to one another. I can see it from the front of the apartment as well as the back. During the day and often times at night, the house shakes with the passing of…

  • Let there be kittens.

    Remember yesterday’s tuna post? Rest assured, the kitties who live out back are totally fine and fuzzy and well fed today. One chunk of tuna landed on the little guy’s back and the black fella ate it off. Awwwww

  • Comment spam.

    Yesterday, while moving through my usual Internet reading routine, I visited Blurbomat and read this post. Later that evening, during dinner, Toby and I had a two hour discussion about comment spam and blogging. As many of you already know, Toby Joe is a big geek. He wrote this Web site for me using PHP.…

  • Another post proving my need for head assistance.

    I am trying to imagine a world without the Internet. And when I do, the inner workings of my head scream the shrillest most disturbing screech. Without the Internet, there would and COULD actually be MORE human beings actually OUT farting and shopping. I just returned from a four hour shopping extravaganza. And I’m about…

  • Myself, a can of tuna, and three kitty cats.

    Last night I was opening a can of tuna when I realized it was filled with oil. Annoyed with myself, I thought, “You ALWAYS check this kind of thing, Michele. What the hell?” I turned to check on the other can of tuna I purchased at the same time. That tuna was submerged in water.…

  • Toby Joe Boudreaux aka The Beaner.

    My amazing husband’s PHP5 book is finally on Amazon. How totally friggin cool is that? He’s in the thick of it now, and stressing pretty hard. But once it’s all over, I hope he looks back on all of this and thinks to himself, “I have a tech book for sale on Amazon.”

  • Pie

    The pie I made tonight looked uglier, yet it tasted better. The chocolate (even though it looked like human crap) was an added bonus. If I can make it look pretty, all will be good. However, tomorrow, I think I’ll make a peach pie.

  • Fun with Splenda: Healthy baking, take 2

    Today, I will be making a chocolate, mixed berry pie. I am going to wing the chocolate. And I worry a bit about how it will end up. I’m using baker’s chocolate and I’m going to add my own sweetener. You can witness the birth of yesterday’s blueberry pie by clicking here. For dinner, it’s…
