conversations with my dad about the olympics, politics, and the eternal wrongness of bob costas
Me: “Oh! The opening ceremonies! How are they so far?” Dad: “Creepy.” — Bob Costas and Matt Lauer: *inane chatter during the parade of countries* Dad: “Ugh. Listen to these two morons.” Me: “I know. They’re awful.” Dad: “The worst part is that they’ve rehearsed this. They sat down, practiced saying all this crap, and … Continue reading
The Sporting Life
Looks like I have tendonitis in my left knee (and a little bit in my right), brought on by repetitive stress at work (did you know children are small and require you to constantly bend down?) and my own stubborn “walk-it-off” approach to the pain. So I’ve taken the past two nights off of … Continue reading
Good idea.
This face translated means: ”You’ve written enough tonight. You also worked all day. You should sit back, turn on Breaking Bad, and scratch me under my chin for a while.”
perils of urban biking
Just got back from a bike ride. The air is temperate and fresh after today’s thunderstorms, so I figured I’d take The Admiral out for an evening ride in the park just above my apartment. Fewer bitchy comments aimed at you when you exercise outside, although I have to deal with my other pet peeve: … Continue reading

Bryan Safi was just saying something absurd when I overheard this gem from a girl to, ostensibly, her boyfriend: “It’s weird when fat people come here, but then, like, i workout harder when they do, you … Continue reading
summertime tv
So I’ve been quiet for about a week, but there is a very good reason: I have started watching Breaking Bad. Holy crap. This show. I am aware that I am woefully late to the party, but that’s because of the simple math equation: good show + netflix instant = not leaving the house until … Continue reading
“I’ll leave when I’m good and ready.” A brief example of re-examining beliefs
Once upon a time, I had a dude friend. A very good dude friend, one I’m still friends with, who I actually lived with for a while in a platonic roommate situation. If I ever write a sitcom, it’s going to be based on our adventures, because they were many and hilarious. This dude, … Continue reading
gettin’ feminasty
Because I’ve been throwin’ shade at the patriarchy all day, I figured I’d take a light moment to let Girl Friday present what I’ve decided is my new life motto.
