My friends are flakes.
Maybe not all of them, but probably a good majority of them and definitely the ones I care about most. It’s something I’ve come to accept and expect, similar to how I’ve come to accept and expect all Southwest flights to be delayed at least 45 minutes, but it doesn’t mean [...]

If you’re a parent, no matter how wonderful you are or how hard hard you try, there will be some ill-fated things you do or don’t do that your children will forever hang over your head. Like the time you headed up the Macarena as a prom chaperone. Or the time you accidentally led them [...]

‘Twas a very good weekend, so carefree and full of snuggles, the type of weekend that makes your heart deflate a little the moment the sun starts to fade on Sunday evening. No, no, no, weekend, please don’t go, I’m not through with you yet. Stay awhile. I’ll pour you some tea, or how about [...]

Because mine is just eh. I live in a pleasant suburb called Torrance, California, which is like, I dunno, 15-20 miles south of L.A., but where I come from, we don’t talk in miles, we talk in minutes, which is rather misleading because you can get from Torrance to L.A. in [...]

Ever since I declared I wanted to be a blogger, Matt has taken it upon himself to be my personal blog coach. I guess he thinks I could one day make money off this thing (ha!) so he keeps forwarding me nerdlinks about nerdthings like traffic and revenue and search engine optimization. Stuff that makes [...]

I’ve been thinking that my site could use a little bit of flair. Which, by the way, Matt was like, “I think it’s spelled flare” and I was like, “No, it’s flair,” and he was like, “No, I really think it’s flare” and I was like, “No, it’s obviously flair. You would know this if [...]

For now, I’ve resorted back to my old iBook, the one with the crack in it, because — well — long boring story that ends with me yelping and sighing and growling at my sister’s semi-new MacBook. WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT THEIR TRACKPAD TO BE THAT SENSITIVE? Cursors flying everywhere, tabs being dragged all over [...]
