A brief introduction: For awhile now, I’ve kept an ever-growing list of things thought up by my friends and I in my phone. These are usually pretty dumb things, hence the name of the file I keep these thoughts in, “Dumb Things.” A lot of times, these dumb things turn into drawings like Spooky and… Continue reading A Weird Drug Dealer

Vetting Facebook Status Updates
A post over at A Confederacy of Spinsters, called Your Status Update Not Welcome, inspired me to write a comment. After a couple of minutes trying to think of a concise sentence or two for the comments section of their page, I decided I needed to write a full-blown post about it. From the original… Continue reading Vetting Facebook Status Updates
Monthly Mottos: February
February comes and goes so fast, I’d better get this motto out before I forget: “February, look how short it is!” February is a seriously silly month. It’s ridiculous, 28 days most years and 29 every four. What is that? It’s a giant rounding error for how long it takes the Earth to move. And… Continue reading Monthly Mottos: February

The amazing thing is that the name of the gum is actually, “BONUS!” printed in an… Continue reading I’m Voting Republigum!
One Year in Blogging
As of today, this blog is one-year-old (or maybe because it’s still an infant we should say 12-months). It doesn’t really feel like it’s been that long, which is good because that means it didn’t end up being a chore, a fear of mine from the beginning. The raw stats: 120 posts for an average of one post… Continue reading One Year in Blogging
What is it that you mean? (Part 1)
I love words. I’m a big fan. I’m not the brightest person when it comes to using words but I’m trying to improve and find them incredibly interesting to learn about. Sometimes this is in the form of over analyzing how sentences are phrased or just looking up the definition of a word I’d never seen before. You know, learning.… Continue reading What is it that you mean? (Part 1)
