"If you can't be pretty, you might as well cause trouble" – Florence King

And really bad at coming up with titles for blog entries.
But there it is…my mundane superpower is probably being able to sleep in really odd places.
Age 15 – took a 2 hour nap on the basement staircase at my grandparents’ house after enduring a 22-hour ride all hunkered up in the backseat of a Volkswagen
Age [...]
Okay, I’d be a total asshole if I didn’t write the obvious – I’m unable to articulate how truly grateful I am for my awesome family and friends, a few of whom I’ll be spending the evening with, and a few more with whom we’ll be throwin’ down a fiesta on Saturday. My tribe [...]

Sometimes I am compelled to treat this site like The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon and this is definitely one of those times.
During a slow period at work today, I was daydreaming about the various motifs that never fail to catch my eye. Included are:
Peacock feathers
Zinnias
Sunflowers (the state flower of Kansas!)
Ivy Leaves
Chrysanthemums
Strawberries

Age 11 – discovering that “Fettuccine Alfredo” is basically fancy for “Macaroni & Cheese” (a dish I’d detested since early childhood).
Age 15 – discovering that Toad The Wet Sprocket was nothing near to as zany and lighthearted as their band name.
Age 5 – discovering that the orange drink which churns tantalizingly in the translucent plastic [...]

Just some little bits and pieces of thoughts of late:
The other night when I was coming home from work, I had one of those absolutely glorious and magical rides that just makes you happy to be alive and pedalling. It has been surprisingly cool and rainy lately and there’s quite a lot of marshy [...]

Yep, it’s gonna be one of those days and one of these entries.
1. They’ve been playing some butt-ass-awful music at work lately. Like worse than usual, and usual appears to be Adult-Contemporary Hits of the 1980s and ’90s. The recent streak of aural atrocities however, really has me scratching my head. [...]

I will do a short list of “things about me that you might not know.”
1. I think insects are fascinating. Bumblebees are probably my favorite because they’re so cute and fuzzy and noisy. They also fit perfectly into the funnel-shaped middle of a morning glory blossom, and it’s amusing to watch a [...]

1. Pirate’s Booty: higher cheez-to-poof ratio, plz. KTHXBAI.
2. Ruby has unevenly-sized ears. The right ear is bigger than the left ear, so that when she folds her ears back (which she does when she yawns or is sniffing something very intently) the right ear comes down almost ½” lower on [...]

1. Dried mulberries are delicious!
2. Regarding wedding planning: “You know, it’s going to be a pretty darn casual affair, but probably not so casual that we should have an officiate who might get drunk and put his head through the screen door.”
3. Good lord I have been riding my bike [...]

The Internet Phenomenon of “rickrolling” has just come to my attention, which means the meme has probably been building for months and months now, and I’m the last person to know that “rickrolling” is misleading somebody to click a link which takes them to the music video of 1980s 1-hit-wonder Rick Astley “Never gonna give [...]
