  • I Can’t Help It.

    I’ve been trying not to do this, but I can’t help myself. It’s about iHateDesign. Dee posted something yesterday that actually made me laugh out loud. Alone. I have to share it. Some of you may not get it. And that’s totally understandable. If you’re not a graphic designer or if you’ve never hung out…

  • The Existence of this Post Might Answer My Question. Your Reading it Helps Too.

    Last night, we watched 60 Minutes. The very last part called “Working” talked about how Americans are working longer hours and how more and more people basically live by their computers. The digital revolution now enables people to work their jobs nearly every waking hour. Lesley Stahl reports on Americans who are working longer and…

  • This World is SO Big Enough For the Two of Us.

    Sometimes people do things that are inexplicably awesome. Last week, I received an email from my dear friend, Lana. Subject: Too Cute The e-mail featured a lovely picture of a fuzzy little feline. I was instantly smitten. It’s not entirely weird for people to send me cute pictures of cats. I love cats and this…

  • Let Me Introduce You to My Little Face Pets.

    When I was 18, I discovered that my eyebrows were unruly. Not only were they really hairy, but also they liked to migrate. You might be asking yourselves, “What did Michele do about it? What did she do about her eyebrows?” I did what any normal girl would do with unruly eyebrows. I started to…

  • Coming Out About HIV.

    Regan Hofman has been HIV positive for almost a decade. Before today, she anonymously wrote a monthly column for POZ. This week she’s on the cover and tells all. My art teacher in high school died from AIDS. His name was John Bubb. He was really wonderful. I remember a lot of the students came…

  • On How Much Tobyjoe Rules and Our Plethora of Side Projects.

    Every time someone updates their profile or signs up over at Self-Portrait Day their picture automatically moves to the top of the homepage. Which means that every time Tobyjoe and I have to go check something out, we must sign in and then our profile picture jumps to the top of the page. I have…

  • Into the Grizzly Man (POST BUMPED)

    I bumped this post for two reasons. First, because I’m getting retro comments and they’re quite interesting. The second reason is because since having finished the film (I wrote this post hours after it was over) my thoughts and opinion has changed. I thought about this movie so much, I think I may have even…

  • It’s 1978 in My Head and the Bugs Have Moved In.

    In the apartment we lived in on Saturday night, Tobyjoe moved the toilet in our bathroom for a reason I am unsure of. We had a few faceless visitors over at the time. The apartment had wall-to-wall carpeting the kind of carpeting that contains puffy raised sections, like carpeted clouds seen from above. Intermixed with…

  • Two Girls and Spread

    Well, I am about 10 pages away from completing Two Girls, Fat and Thin which was book two over at Spread Hopefully, those reading it might join us in discussing the book. Nora has started a discussion about it. Please stop by if you have some free time. On a related note, we’re preparing to…

  • Two L’s? MY ASS!

    Remember this post? You know the one where some chick named “Glenda” said my name was spelled incorrectly and a small Internet fight broke out? Yeah, that was a good day. Anyway, Tobyjoe and I were watching the Food Network recently and a commercial came on about french cuisine. And low and behold, check this…
