Saturday– Mate leaves house at 7:30 in rented truck with portable goals so Squish’s soccer field can have goals. Squish, Zoomboy and I leave house at 8:30, attend son’s soccer game, watch them do pretty good, gossip happily with the team moms, celebrate their loss, and drive to the next game. Repeat for Squish’s team…. Read More

“Will there be a journey?” “Course!” “From the outside or the in?” “Both, I think–“ “Will there be flawed heroes?” “Yes!” “And righteousness and sin?” “Why not!” “Will there be betrayal–“ “I hate that, but–“ “And fear and maybe pain?” “Always pain.” “And will there be heroics?” “I hope so.” “And crying in the rain?”… Read More

*** Okay– so yes, I loved Teen Wolf and I really loved Sterek, but I haven’t watched it this season. I have it all taped, but, you know… sometimes you just fall in a pothole and can’t get out, and when Stiles saw Derek Hale’s initials on the library shelf, that was where I fell…. Read More

Okay, so in Spain and Mexico and civilized countries, when it gets really fucking hot, they shut the place down. They shut down the businesses and the stores, they shut down the schools if they have to. Everybody goes home during the heat of the day and they do the logical thing when they sun… Read More

I have cleaned my bathroom, and the dog is ded of shock. She is laying there, as if to say, “I will only regain life if you clean off the kitchen table and sweep the kitchen floor. I said I’d think about it. She licked my toes and told me that was the most she… Read More

*  First of all, I wasn’t aware of how much I depended on Comedy Central to put my news into perspective until @Midnight and The Nightly Show premiered tonight. Oh, thank God for Chris Hardwick and Larry Wilmore, without whom I’d have to blog medieval on the world’s ass yet again. They do a far… Read More

Whew! I survived August! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! Seriously– I didn’t think I was going to make it. I have to admit, the end was a lot easier than the beginning– and it was still pretty intense. So I’m sooooooo happy to see that September is moving on a bit, and that it’s looking like it might not… Read More

I’ll be real. The worst thing about politics– for me– is that it bores me shitless. Yeah, so Trump’s a crass bozo who couldn’t find his ass with both hands if someone gave him a bucket to shit in.  We know it, we know everything that’s going to come out of his mouth is going… Read More

Okay all– here we go. Thanks to Jules Who Loves Books and Mary-my-Mary, today’s choice is STUCKY! For those who don’t know, this is Captain America (Steve Rogers) and Bucky Buchanan (The Winter Soldier.) I don’t know any more of the canon than we’ve seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so that’s what I stuck… Read More

So, I sent this picture to Chicken, who has been calling the dogs “assholes” since they chased her cat away. “Look,” she responded. “It’s two assholes straining.” And yes, she was correct.
