Observations drenched in chocolate, best enjoyed with a fine wine.

Rock of Skank Tour

Last night was the big Bret Michaels show. No, not Rock of Love- he actually played the Meridian in Houston and I was there to witness the glorious parade of people stuck in the 80′s. Now, the show was aight. I’ve seen Poison a bazillion times. This was just Poison minus CC, Riki and Bobby. [...]

Reality TV: What are you watching?

I’m a total sucker for some good reality TV. Notice I said good. Well, even some bad. Real bad. But I don’t care! I’m fascinated by the spectacles people will make of themselves. Mainly because I love making a spectacle of myself… but not in the same way. Some of these people are plum ass [...]

Moving makes me cranky.

Well. Let’s be serious. A lot of shit makes me cranky. But, I really hate moving more than anything else in the world. I don’t mind movin’ on up to the East side (or in my case, west side) but god damn. I got a lot of shit. We’ve got everything in the new duplex, [...]

I heart The Planet.

The amount of jackassery that goes on in my office is astounding. I just got hit with a giant fucking koosh ball (Planet blue, no less) and was told that I was out of today’s Dodgeball game and it was only 8:40 AM. Dodgeball. Seriously, what the fuck? I didn’t get a memo about Dodgeball. [...]

This entry has been inspired by Lara Flynn Boyle. Now, Lara has had her shares of body issues over the years. Girl was the size of mosquito leg at one [...]

Warm, cozy goodness.

I walked into work on Monday to find this: My manager, Katie, knitted me this boa-inspired little gem. It’s warm and fuzzy and awesome! If you look over to the right at my blog roll, I have a link to a site called Yarn Love. That’s Katie’s site where she blogs about the joys of [...]

So, Yvonne called me today.

Girl just had surgery yesterday to get a new kidney and she made sure she called us to thank us for helping on her blog and tell us she’s doing great.  Um. Hello? She’s barely been out of surgery over 24 hours.  That’s an awesome woman. She told me she loved us and that she’s [...]

Hope and Weariness.

Tomorrow my friend Yvonne has her kidney transplant surgery. We sent her off with a surprise lunch, card, balloons and a video of us all giving her well wishes. She’s an awesome lady that has inspired a lot of people in her life. Mike and I created a blog ( http://www.yvonneschallenge.com ) for her to [...]

I want to be Diablo Cody’s bff.

For those of you who don’t know who she is, please get out of a coma and go see Juno. She wrote the script and won the Oscar for best original screen play. I love the movie, but more so, I love this chick. I first read her column in Entertainment weekly and thought “OH [...]
