No, I don’t have one. Not drinking is my problem. Abstaining from alcohol or not being fully committed to gettin slizzard seems to be less socially acceptable than being a raging alcoholic. Why is that? The last time I drank a lot of alcohol was three years ago about a month before I met my …

Weirdest search terms by which people found my blog this week: how much cleavage sould you have in grade 7 boink her in the ass SIGH
Here’s why my house is a disaster: There is always something more pressing than cleaning. For instance, this weekend I planned to get some major spring cleaning done (at least as much as the baby would allow), but then a project came in late Friday that has consumed my weekend. This is my job; I …
Besides the fact that he’s batshit crazy and self-destructive, let’s talk about the people he hurts. Namely, women. He ‘accidentally’ shot his ex-fiancee in the arm. He threatened his most recent wife with a knife to the throat. His fits of rage cause New York hookers to cower in closets. This guy is “awesome”? Beating …
It’s been ten years since the Nisqually Earthquake. Aka that big ass quake that broke the Viaduct and busted a lot of old brick shit in Pioneer Square. Aka the scariest day of my life. It was a normal day at work. I was a copywriter at Sierra On-Line and the creative team (8 zillion …

Barney Children love this big purple dude inexplicably. Until they get to Kindergarten. Then they come home from school and solemnly announce that “Barney sucks.” No shit. Not only is Barney a prancing dimwit, but the child actors are bottom of the barrel in looks and talent. I have personally endured more than my share …
I have no idea. I’ve only seen a couple of the nominated films. But, if perchance one day I am nominated for Best Original Screenplay? This is what I’m wearing: How many of you have planned an Oscar acceptance speech just in case one day you need one? Or at least considered who you would …
