  • The 41st Annual National Apple Harvest Festival

    Last year, we were in San Francisco at the time of the Gettysburg Apple Festival. This year, I’d like to attend. We went to the one two years ago and had a great time in spite of the fact that we had a most horrible meal at a local “5 star” restaurant. But the festival…

  • South Beach Diet Update

    I have lost 16 pounds in a little over two months. I hit my first goal in weight loss about a week ago and even though I promised myself a smorgasbord of fatty foods and treats once doing so, I can’t seem to bring myself to do it. Maybe upon completing my final goal. Who…

  • I.R.A Vows to Disarm

    Today, I felt a moment of joy towards all humanity. Now, the question is, is it true this time? Do they mean it? If so, why now? The Skeptical: The history of the past decade in Northern Ireland is littered with I.R.A. statements which we were told would be historic,’ said Ian Paisley, a firebrand…

  • P.S. A Confession Regarding the Above Post.

    I wrote some of this post yesterday after work. After pottery class, I finished it. This morning at around 8:30 AM, I put it live. I left the apartment to head to work. At 8:35 I called Toby from the corner and told him to turn it off. I guess I didn’t like the way…

  • The Origin of Grudge

    I hold grudges. I’m not sure when this began, but I do. I hold grudges. I don’t hold that many. And I’m not even sure I can justify the ones I do hold. But I hold them. I hold just enough to go without dropping them. They’re not heavy. They’re just there. Years ago, I…

  • Dear Lurkers,

    Recently, Toby had this idea of giving people a given number of times they can visit a site during a given amount of time. Eventually, should they lurk too much and not contribute to any given post but instead silently read and probably silently judge, (I’m paranoid and menstrual), the text would slowly begin to…

  • Oh, I’m Clapping

    Just purchased two tickets to see Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah at Warsaw in Brooklyn. I had no idea they were playing tomorrow night. I also had no idea it was sold out. Ah well. I can wait.

  • Songs: Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co.

    Just purchased two wonderful tickets to see Songs: Ohia at South Paw in Brooklyn on the 18th of August. I freaking love this man/band. Jason Molina once inspired a mihow post about how much I adore my then boyfriend, now husband. He’s also gotten me through countless bouts with depression and numerous bus rides to…

  • The Dove Ads, Take Two

    Yesterday, Rachel, of New Kids on The Blog sent me this link regarding Dove’s new ad campaign. You might remember this post I wrote about the ads and how they kinda weirded me out a little bit. I think I might send them this and see if they think it’s real. Just kidding. I have…

  • The Beach, Bush, and Some Babes

    On Saturday, Gerry took us to the beach. We went to Long Beach. It has been confirmed that it was not the Long Beach de la Snoop. We went to Long Beach on Long Island. We got bagels, too. And we swam and ate food. I got a sunburn. Only, not everywhere like I usually…
