Funny you ask.
Margaret Atwood's "Surfacing" got me on a pretty severe private island obsession. Then I found one in Québec, just an hour away from Ottawa. Private island with a really nice house on it. $299,999 CAN.
If I could find the money I thi…
My day has been filled with sorrow and impatience.
I am wearing a Skinhead style cardigan and it has brought me comfort.
Tomorrow I will travel to the island next to this one and I will make my day a better day.
I like to make exciting drinks at my house.
But I don't make kombucha, because I don't drink that much of it and I literally only like the ginger flavor, oh, and grape!
I would take a million Sasquatch murals over this bottling plant project. I would cover my entire house with Sasquatch murals if it could stop this thing from happening.
Sasquatch with boobs is far better than NO FUTURE.
Wait, why do you think the members of the Anacortes City Council are lining their own pockets?
I feel like in typical Anacortes fashion they are probably experiencing an episode of confused stupidity where they are convinced they are serving the to…
I hate when people use stuff without permission to advertise a product. I also mostly hate it when they do have permission.
Still, I find myself thoroughly enjoying poorly made wooden Looney Tunes characters, or weird Soviet-era "Disney" animals. I …
The City Council lady is very lame indeed. Nothing she says could reassure one's soul.
What I don't get is how come what the city is doing is not illegal?
It seems like there should be a law protecting the citizens' interests.
I don't mean to be whiny, but it is already too hot as it is now.
I like my four (or in the PNW more like two) seasons well represented.
And I hate drying out in the sun.
I am worried about no rain. What about the plants? The animals?
Even my cat …
Oh yeah, have you guys noticed the huge explosion of fancy drinks at Health Food stores lately? I mean, you must have, you live in Portland... But whenever I go to the co-op in MtV the drinks fridge seems to have doubled in size. Lots of twelve ounc…
My cat looks so normal and fine that it's been really hard not to feed her dry food. She's always been obsessed with wet food, but she loves it so much that when I feed her she just snorfles it all up and asks for more. If I give her a little cereal…
@Mikey, you ask smart questions that make me think.
It's cool.
But Forkman making 15 units of a conceptual joke is very different than people not paying for his music in my opinion. 15 people buying a weird hand-printed Snoopy shirt has less of an i…
I used to feed my other cat the gnarliest-looking rawest of raw food. It came frozen from the health food store. I love the idea of feeding a cat something that resembles what she would eat in the wild. "Here, you are an ANIMAL, remember?".
But I am…
Wanda, how is Andy?
Because now it's my cat's turn to have feline lower urinary tract disease... I only discovered her peeing blood yesterday morning, but I suspect it started when I was gone for a week (cause of stress). The little lady spent the …
I like the idea of getting up in the middle of the night and doing ANYTHING you want.
And not getting in trouble for it.
Spontaneity is probably the biggest perk of being a grown up.
Staying up all night in Anacortes, especially in January, is risky.
There was a January, I think it was 2006? Where so many of us would stay up so so late every night. The D.O.S. felt very soviet-like, our faces were grey.
I have a rule that no matt…
Oh, I bet you are secretly a Harley bear.
You are just waiting to age, gain a bunch of weight, lose a bunch of hair, grow a beard, get an earring, oh maybe two! Then you'll be ready.
That is the only explanation for why you liked Oyster Run.
The on…
OMG!
Great shirt!
BUT ALSO ONE OF MY WORST PET PEEVE: IT'S TINTIN, NO SPACE, JUST TINTIN.
(I cannot stand when people but a space in the middle. Read the books or something.)
I have three different types of dreams over and over.
I wanted to elaborate, but they are so deeply personal. Having already shared the dead friend dream I almost feel like it would be too much to share the other ones, too.
Some dreams have such cle…
Wanda:
I guess it's cause I'm home alone a lot these days and I just have a lot of thoughts going through my head as I procrastinate. I am sort of left with a mouthful of words.
DrJ:
All that fat and refined sugar early in the morning leaves me nau…
Oh dude!
Just the other night I wanted to buy Fruity Pebbles (gluten free) but then decided to get Amazon Flakes instead. I am still thinking about the Fruity Pebbles, though.
When I moved out of my mom's house and went to live with my dad I was int…
I have been waking up between 8 and 8:30AM lately. This is very early for me. I am a night owl for sure. I think I've been waking up early because I don't have things I really must work on really late into the night.
Making an extra effort to be out…
