Realistically, I am pretty sure I can make my own custom toilet-flush frame for my MA certificate. There are unnecessarily complicated birthday cards which have a little battery-powered recorder gizzy so you can record your own greeting. When I could do is disembowel one of those cards, record a toilet flush sound effect on the [...]

Well, well, well, well, well! Another Regatta has passed with no deaths, arrests, or maulings by invasive Asiatic Carp, so I guess we can chalk up yet another successful run down the Missouri. So last Thursday evening, our back porch looked like this. My neighbors love me. On Wednesday night, I was prowling throughout Strawberry [...]

because I got wolf-whistled while armpits deep in a garbage can in downtown Kansas City Kansas. The absurdity of the situation just tickled me eight shades of pink. KCKS guys have basically no standards, nor dignity. I mean, srsly? But sexual harrassment and foul odors nonetheless, i think I got enough bottles for my boat [...]

On my way home from work today, I rode past some very busy fireworks stands in the West Bottoms. If you know Kansas City, you might know about James Street and the half dozen or so semi-abandond buildings that become explosives emporia in the week leading up to Independence day. Being as today is The [...]

I’ve been fooling around with mixing my own perfume lately – I guess it’s more like cologne or something. Anyway, I procured three tiny atomizer bottles and some cheap vodka. Using various essential oils and extracts already in my possession, I’ve been mixing up my own blends of olfactory wizardry. So far I’ve done one [...]

A tutorial from your very own in-house, non-smelly hippie. I take a lot of care not to be a stinky girl. It is very important to me to not smell like an old goat. People generally like you better and take you seriously when they can comfortably get within 3 feet of you and still [...]

For as much goofing around with the Internet as I do, I’m not what you’d call proficient. I don’t know how to code. I use WordPress templates that pretty much walk you through any minor modifications you might want to make. Until today. Joel had been asking me for help with the Dirty Kanza 200 [...]

I irrationally adore (and detest) many things. One of my irrational favorites is a deep and abiding love of the number 9. I tell you that in my book, 9 is the best number. It’s square and tidy. It’s made up of three, three times, and three is my next favorite number. When you multiply [...]

Yesterday, I was so stoked about my Minnie Pearl dress that I didn’t really go into how I got this rig together. So, tonight, I’m gonna ‘splain it all! This past winter, Joel was helping Calvert shift some stuff around in his studio and Calvert sent Joel home with a big ol’ sack of random [...]
