In which I spend a lot of time online, reading stuff. And then I write about it!
It’s important that we all become aware of, and defend against, the “natural family revival.”
There are some batshit crazy Xians out there, and they’re all banding together – some even with (gasp!) Muslims – to bring back the [...]

In which I post about my life on Facebook, because the Internet is self-reflective like that.
I don’t know if it’s The CurseTM coming or I’ve just used up the day’s compassion for sloppy thinking, but when I logged into Facebook and saw the utterly meaningless meme traveling through it, I got a little worked up.
Many [...]

In which I like him. I really, really like him.
I’m not a political animal.
I think politics are in equal parts numbingly boring and distressingly childish. While legal language is probably a neat game, I particularly loathe political talking heads and find them to be a most repugnant breed of humanoid: self-important and brash, and [...]
In which I can’t figure out why TV still sucks so much when there are technologies available that could easily make it suck less.
Last night, while sitting at the brew pub eating a Gardenburger and idly gazing at the cable commercial showing on the glass teat hanging above the bar, I, who am really [...]
In which I told you so.
It’s April 1st, 2009, and Conficker has NOT destroyed the Internet.
Some cranked-up jarheads got their panties in a wad for a few minutes [WaPo has a sense of humor! how awesome is that!], but that was pretty much all she wrote.
Now be good boys and girls and keep letting [...]
In which I go off on the states at the lower corners.
Dear California and Florida,
What is wrong with you people? You just passed legislation that may have nullified what were legal marriages only yesterday. What the fuck for? Are you really that threatened by your gay neighbors being able to, I don’t know, do something [...]
In which I unstress about the relationship between my dog and my grandmother.
Bindu is fat and listless and can’t finish an entire dog walk around the perimeter of two city blocks. Her belly’s bloated. Her nose is dry and she’s tired all the time. She’s clearly not feeling well.
The week Grandma was out of town, [...]
In which I’m trying to figure my own shit out by observing my reactions to others.
Let me preface this whole thing by saying I know I’m hideously flawed myself and that I’m hardly one to talk about anything, ever. I’m sorry in advance if you see yourself here and get mad at me. I’m talking [...]
In which I wonder about content ownership and self expression as they pertain to the act of blogging.
One time I wrote something on my site about a friend of mine, and woke up freaked out realizing that if she read the post it might hurt her feelings. I got up and deleted the passage in [...]
In which I won’t die with the most toys, but I may just die with zero stress… and nothing to show for it.
The winner isn’t the one with the most toys, she’s the one who has what she values most. I don’t value stuff all that much, or fame, or any of those quantifiable things: [...]

In which I comment on the anti-abortion situation.
Last week, I read an article about a man who wants the State of Texas to pay women $500 to put unwanted babies up for adoption rather than have abortions.
(Because it’s soooo constitutional for states to buy human beings.)
Today while I was opening the mail at work, I [...]
Continue reading about Great! Because that $500 will totally cover the costs of the whole endeavour!
In which I’m offended.
As huge NASA supporter, I pay attention when they’re in the news. I’m totally pro space program, because we need it to develop the technologies we’ll require to get the fuck out of here after we finish brutally overusing the resources of and overpopulating the planet of our origin.
Not to mention [...]
