In which I don’t understand. Why do store-bought dips suck? I bought a huge container of artichoke-jalapeno dip last weekend, and while it isn’t exactly inedible, it’s really not good. You can safely buy salsa — well, many of them, at least — and those sort of 70’s-style chip dips (like French onion or whatever), […]
In which I rather complain a little. It’s 29F outside. I cracked the windows while I tidied did the dishes and made the bed, and it can’t be over 73F in here, but I’m overheating! Very hot water just used to be very hot water; these days it’s like I’m being tortured and my hands […]
In which I’m dieting. Tired (again) of being fat and miserable. Dieting (again) in an effort to be less fat and less miserable. As a vegetarian, I find it very difficult to do really low-carb, so I’m doing a combination of “as few carbs as possible” and calorie restriction. Eating a lot of eggs, tofu, […]
In which I lecture. (Because fuck it, I pay the hosting fees here AND I CAN.) You hate holidays. I get it. You’re woke and clever and can’t be taken in by money-making corporate holidays. You’re totally too smart to fall for any of this shit. So you reject the few celebrations your culture observes, […]
In which it’s Superb Owl Sunday, and I’m not even sure who’s playing! It’s 1:24 in the afternoon and I’ve already downed this: (It’s a brilliant bloody mary with lots of pickle juice.) And this: (A mostly-homemade bean tostada of excellent excellence.) Life is a wonderful — and delicious and tipsy — thing!
In which I even googled it. My tongue feels slightly too large for my mouth. My bite feels like it’s off. My mouth seems to be watering more than usual, but it’s hard to tell because normally I don’t notice how much I’m salivating. But today I’m super-aware of it. And it’s driving me nuts! […]
In which I make political commentary. I try to do my research. Even if I really, really don’t want to. I’ve read several long-form think pieces about this man’s upcoming presidency. And the weird thing is that they exist: there are persons, educated persons, DC insiders, who are writing long-form think pieces about this man’s […]
In which Facebook gets far too much of my good material, so I’m cross-posting some here as well. My original post, on Trump’s appointments, and specifically about his meeting with Kennedy: Now we’ve got anti-vaxxers, climate change denialists, a rich bitch who has a weird hatred for schools. Absolute opposite of ‘brain trust.’ It received […]
In which there’s a retrospective. Ten years ago today, I lived in Fairfield, IA, freeloading off of an ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend by staying in their extra bedroom after having made myself homeless by leaving my husband a couple months before. (Well, technically, my ex-boyfriend and I were both freeloading off her, really, since it […]
In which I’m a vegetarian, but not an idiot. Click on the image below for a really great #longread about zoo animal management, that really makes you wonder how anybody can get so fucking freaked out and upset about professionals doing their jobs. Professionals. Experts. People who know way more than you do about managing animals. […]
