The Problem With Fall

I don’t understand why you people get so excited about Fall.  Sure, it has it’s positive qualities: apple picking, using the oven again, pretty colored leaves, Libra birthdays *fist bumps*.  But nobody ever talks about it’s dark side – the evil, putrid underbelly of this mistakenly beloved season.

Fools.

If you ask me (not that you did, but [...]

Parking Tickets are More Expensive Than Herbert

Alternate-side parking is the bane of my existence.  Do you know how expensive parking tickets are?  Don’t even get me started on the cheddar it takes to get your car out of the impound lot.  Not that I have to do that much, Rocco.  Maybe you shouldn’t read this one.  Ahem.

Alternate-side parking is always ruining my [...]

My Happy Place

You know that saying, “Go to your happy place?”  I’m lucky enough to be able to visit mine several times a year.  In fact, that’s where I spent last weekend.

As soon as my bare feet hit the smooth wooden slats of my parent’s deck, I can feel my shoulders pulling down and away from my ears.  [...]

If I Were A Brick Wall I’d Have Graffiti On My Forehead

Between the pouring rain, yesterday’s nine hour drive, and my vacation hangover, I’m having one hell of a time staying focused.  I managed to scrape together a Craftastrophe, though.  This one ought to go over huge with you Catholics.

Honestly, I’m afraid to leave the house today for fear I’ll be struck down with lightening.  I’m not [...]

Uke Me Away

It’s Friday, the now unofficial day of uke-ing.  Terrifying.

I have to give a shout out to the infamous Patty Punker for requesting this song.  I’ve never heard it before.  Well, obviously I had to listen to it to learn it but I hadn’t heard it before Patty told me to learn it.  [...]

Bean A Long Time

I have Led Zepplin in my head.  It’s been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.  I like it when people have nouns for last names – like Plant, for example.  Beans are plants, FYI.  Who says this blog isn’t educational?

I’m sort of obsessed with the term “bean counters” these days.  I’ve never used it [...]

Female Ninja Magic

Mom:  Now would be a good time to lie, honey.

Me:  While I am quite capable, I’m not doing it right now.

Mom:  You mean you’re not writing a blog?

*sigh*

Me:  Not a fan of today’s post, eh?

Mom:  You know, I much prefer the ukulele ones to the vagina ones.

Me:  Well wait until I figure out how to put [...]

Yankee Ferry Dandy

If you’re suffering from a wee bit of nausea and vertigo, there are two activities you should probably avoid.  The first?  Boats.  Especially if they are on the Hudson river on a windy day.  The second?  The upper decks of Yankee Stadium.

Any guesses as to how I spent the last two days?

No, I did not sign [...]

Ladies and Germs

I love kazoos.  Next to the ukulele, they’re the single easiest instrument to play.  There was even a brief moment there where I considered becoming a professional kazoo artist after being wowed by this gal’s skill.

Imagine my joy when I learned I could make customized BugginWord kazoos.  Imagine Rocco’s horror when two ginormous boxes of those [...]
