I don’t even know what to do with this. Some of you are going to love it, some are going to hate it, and some will think I am the weirdest person on earth for even putting it here for you to watch it. It’s quite long, so if you get to a minute and [...]

If you and I are friends on facebook, you may have seen my recent mobile upload of the ENORMOUS cockroach Josh and I discovered in the window last week. It had really nasty, hairy legs, and we think it was laying an egg sack in our window between the pane and the screen. I don’t [...]

Friends, Emily Furr Hogan has once again sent me the most amazing internet treasure, and although Madame has her own blog, for some reason, she doesn’t post these things, but sends them to me instead. And I then have the pleasure of passing them on to you. And believe you me, it is with great [...]

I wanted to write SOMETHING because I get better numbers on the Google when I do, but I really have to go to bed. A thousand apologies for not having anything to say earlier. My mama’s in town, and we’ve been hanging out all day, so I chose to neglect you all. Can you blame [...]

You know, some days I just run out of things to say to you. They are often the same days I come back to class after the break and don’t know what to do for the last hour. It is on those days that we play CatchPhrase. I think that if you are exceptionally good [...]

So I’ve had “paint toenails” on my to-do list all week. Literally, every day. Today, I wrote, “Seriously, paint your effing toenails.” I mean it’s BAD, friends. And I still haven’t done it. I have done so little, in fact, that I don’t even have anything to say to you because I haven’t done anything [...]

There’s a website Lauren looks at sometimes where photos of people (usually people, mostly celebrities) are placed beside photos of other people/things/animals/household items/characters that they resemble. And usually, they’re quite accurate. Well, yesterday morning, one of my students told me that sometimes he thinks I look like Kate Winslet. I started thinking about all the [...]

I have a whole post planned out for you, but (A) it’s going to take me some time to prepare, and (B) I just found this video that is cracking me up. The singing is, for lack of a better word, atrocious, but apart from that, this is pretty hilarious. So to give you a [...]
