I downloaded some tiny animated GIFs for the sheer and utter hell of it. Basically so that I can, if the spirit moves me, add cutesie little touches to this blog. I’ll try to use them in moderation, so that this site won’t become a nauseating eyesore I’d hate for people to come here and […]

We planted eggplants! Who knew?, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. I didn’t realize that I had an eggplant plant until today. I was weeding after about a two-week lapse (shameful) and saw, lo! Eggplants! I don’t remember planting eggplant, so Joel must have, unless this is somehow a volunteer. This is the eggplant that tipped me […]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYkWMAbFVc0] ABBA and I have a slightly stormy history. I loved them as a kid, of course. Their sprightly, catchy, danceable tunes get young and old alike up and moving. When I was in college (undergrad) we used to play ABBA’s Greatest Hits in the costume shop when we were working on costumes for plays. […]

I actually made this jacket probably a month ago, but for some dumb reason forgot to take any pictures of it or post them here. Anyway, I made a new jacket out of some fabulous fabric that one of my mom’s friends gave me. It’s a nice heavyweight woolen flannel, and I trimmed it with […]

Good grief, I had one of those days! Due to basic laziness, I got a kind of late start heading out the the bank, but I figured that it would be no biggie, since they’re open until noon on Saturdays. So I headed downtown with my paycheck in hand, ready to take care of some […]

Good grief! I can’t believe it’s already a week since we went up to Omaha and helped my sister and her family celebrate Max’s second birthday, but there it is…I’m such a SLACKER! My niece and nephews are such awesome little kids! Here’s the birthday boy himself, enjoying an ice-cream-cone cupcake. The big kids decorated […]

she likes to sleep with her head under the bed, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. This dog is hilarious and cute. One night, she actually was over 3/4 of the way underneath the bed.

IMG_2122, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. I’m not entirely sure what this little guy is. It has a face a little bit like an octopus, but ram’s horns and tiny bat wings, and with the pinkness and the crosshatching, it also reminds me a bit of a spiced ham with cloves pressed into it. In any […]

I most generally take a lot of pictures. Sometimes I see something just totally random and awesome, and so I have to stop and whip out the camera and record it for posterity: I mean, would you otherwise have believed me if I told you that I saw GOATS in an empty lot on my […]

Man, I’ve been just plain itching to go somewhere! Preferably on my bicycle, with all my necessary gear stuffed into panniers and/or bunjied on to a rack. What really kicked it into gear was meeting up with and hanging out with Jacquie Phelan & the 42-Below North team (and subsequently reading her blog and some […]
