I feel like it should be raining. The sunny day somehow seems incongruous with my mood. Maybe I just need some high fructose corn syrup or something.
The Frugal Repast (Le Repas frugal)
Yesterday, I went to see the exhibit “Picasso: Themes and Variations.” You know I love me some Picasso. (Just not quite the same [...]

Three days and two showers later, I’m still picking glitter out of my pubes. I know I prattled on yesterday about how nifty the island was, but I have to tell you about the magic that was specifically Figment, too.
FIGMENT’s vision for art looks past the white-walled galleries and into the realm of participation. Art [...]

Thom: What do you want?
Me: Call your mother, Dicko.
Thom: Why?
Me: …
Thom: Oh – the birthday thing?
Me: Yes.
Thom: Goodbye.
[Moments pass. The phone rings.]
Mom: Why did your brother just call me Dicko?
Me: Oh jeez. Did he sing?
Mom: He just called and said “Happy birthday, Dicko.” He said you told him to.
Welcome to my world, Interwebz. There’s no [...]

An embarrassingly long time ago, I started a little something I called my Portrait Project. I had all these grandiose plans of blazing through a portrait a week, solving world hunger, and somehow sculpting my arms into perfect replicas of Michelle Obama’s guns.

As I’ve mentioned before, one of my favorite people on the face of the planet is about to abandon me and move to Michigan. (Yes Michigan. Like she couldn’t leave me for someplace sunny like Cancun, LA, or Seattle?!?!)
Danielle is my go to museum buddy, so we decided to cram in one more exhibit before she [...]

Sometimes They Can't Be Saved
I broke my two river rule AGAIN this weekend. Here’s a little clue to manipulating the Elly – tell me you’re moving back to Michigan in three weeks time and I’ll follow you everywhere you go in an attempt to cram in as much quality bonding time as humanely possible…even if [...]

My entire world has turned upside down. First, this happened:
Maybe Facebook Stands a Chance After All
Gwen has more friends than Magillicutty already. I tell ya, that bitch is inconsolable. Maggie just sits in the corner sobbing while she takes all the little wire tops off the countless magnums of champagne she’s consumed and bends them [...]

Welcome to the end of 2009, bitches.
I can’t decide how I’d rate the year. It was five million times better than 2008, and not just because the lack of toxic chemicals being pumped into my system allowed me to remember and experience the year. That certainly helped, though. Then again I went and drank a whole [...]

Meat Raffle
To keep me distracted from the loss of Edison, Rocco suggested we try to find the local potter one more time. We’d found a flyer at one of the other shops and now had a much more detailed map. Sitting at an intersection, I noticed a large sign and started giggling. “Don’t move,” I [...]

For a supposed environmentally conscious gal, I get a ridiculous number of magazines. I feel a bizarre mix of guilt and pressure when I see the pile of unread periodicals accumulating next to my sofa. Sure, I could blame it all on Rocco’s inability to read the New Yorker with any sort of consistency, but I [...]
