I love the Bloggess! Her book is on my holiday wish list. Last month she had a hilarious blog post entitled, "Then I had an Accidental Lesbian Encounter at the Movies" in which she described how she unintentionally felt up a woman while trying to open the door in a darkened movie theater. Somehow it… Continue reading Oblivious

Random Stuff catches my fancy. I hope it can make you smile.
Black Friday
My family has participated in Black Friday before Black Friday was cool. I remember waiting in line with my sister with a handful of people for Target and Mervyns to open at 6 am. Mervyns gave out gifts to encourage people to come (Barb still has the penguin snow globe.) Years later I’d convinced my… Continue reading Black Friday
Satanic Seitan?
I was trying to think of something Halloween appropriate for today's post, and yet I really wanted it to be about food. I've got it ... How I made my own wheat meat or ... trying to avoid a cauldron full of brains! So back in January, I went vegetarian for a month because, well, just because.… Continue reading Satanic Seitan?
Poo Happens
My headline might have been misleading. Nothing bad is going on in my life, quite the contrary. Instead, the inspiration of this post is literally poo. Petrified poo to be exact. How cool is that?!?! I'm trying to imagine the 20 foot sloth that produced that sample. At first I was a bit grossed out that… Continue reading Poo Happens
A Friendly Face Far From Home
From my very first European vacation, I have enjoyed traveling alone. The freedom to change your itinerary on the spot (mid-museum even!), do nothing or jam pack the day, and randomly decide to simply take in a film.... or a nap. When I am abroad, I prefer to stay in hostels. This way, I have… Continue reading A Friendly Face Far From Home
Soda Love Affair
I have to confess again (it really does feel better to get things off my chest), my 5 A Day post was a bit misleading. I do eat a fairly nutritious diet; however, my lack of willpower is not my only fault in this area. My caramel-colored elixir … the bubbly, caffeine-infused seductress. I love this… Continue reading Soda Love Affair
Father’s Day
Years ago, I somehow started the habit of asking my dad for a favor on Father's Day. No, not as long ago as that picture. More like a decade. It all started when I moved into a place of my own, and I received permission from property management to install a closet organizer. Well,… Continue reading Father’s Day
Spring Clean Update
My Spring Clean is officially done - while it is still Spring!!!!! I am quite pleased with myself. The results: 4 bags of donations 2 Craigslist sales (thanks to DH2U) Old television to recycling (It was free and they sent us a postcard asking us to spread the word to San Diegans about the FREE… Continue reading Spring Clean Update
Total Eclipse
Yesterday those of us in the Western United States were treated to a blindingly fantastic sky show: A total eclipse. (Am I the only one that has Bonnie Tyler's song stuck in her head?) It was around four yesterday afternoon when I mentioned the pending eclipse to DH2U, thinking it was too late for us… Continue reading Total Eclipse
First Day of Spring
Tuesday was Big Bird’s birthday! It also happened to be the first day of spring, but that is not nearly as important! Okay, maybe it is. I love spring... not that we had much of a winter in Southern California (yes, I realize that is an oxymoron - San Diego winter). Everything starts to bloom,… Continue reading First Day of Spring
