How do you drive this thing?

So I've installed a WordPress blog but now I have no freaking idea how to make it go live. Anyone?...

Although I strongly feel the word "random" is extremely overused in most weblog contexts, I am forced to admit that it's the best word to describe this here entry

I've felt too scatterbrained to update lately, but I don't want to just leave that last entry up and continue giving you all the impression that I'm dwelling in some kind of hormonal never-never-land. I am now fully in the...

Kontraceptive Question Korner!*

For the past week I have been taking my birth control pills one day ahead of schedule. What can I say? I live for the future. I took my Monday pill on Sunday and I took Tuesday's pill today. I'm...

Let's give a hand for the Evil Eye

This whole time I've neglected to mention that those surprise earrings I got for Christmas were made by Nat at Evil Eye Emporium. Thanks, Nat! (Thanks also to Cinnamon and Brenda for their help!)...

28 Lines About 12-and-a-Quarter Months

January I went boot camp crazy: did way too many lunges, squats. Thanks to this stupid page in Feb. you could calculate our mutual hots! In March I blathered on and on about horoscopes, Kirstie, and chick lit. April was...

Holiday Photo Spectacular (because I have no time to write an entry)



Maybe you thought your weekend was hot shit, but you weren’t riding the CTA Santa Train when it totally derailed. (Again!) And you probably didn’t build a Gingerbread Currency Exchange either. Then again, you might have actually gotten all your shopping done and your presents wrapped and all your cards finished. And you might actually have time to do things like post to your weblog, and make thoughtful crafts. and participate in the liberal conspiracy against Christmas, because you weren’t out fucking around. Good for you!

(More later if I have the, um, time.)

I live fairly close to Niagara Falls, so I see hundreds of currency exchange booths on a regular basis. I have to say... that's the first one I've ever seen that looks tasty.

What says the Christmas spirit more than a ginger bread currency exchange? I think you should add "cervesa fria" in blinking neon yellow frosting on the door (I believe they sell this at the Carniceria Jimenez).

Just when I thought I'd seen it all.....that is freaking hilarious!

That's way better than that 'Christmas Around the World Gingerbread' house! I was thinking about doing a tribute to New Orleans with a gingerbread bordello...oh wait, I think that was one of the finalists...

I wonder if you could buy a gingerbread cta day pass at the gingerbread currency exchange in order to ride the santa train, or does the cta no longer accept gingerbread just like they're not taking coins anymore? Bastards - they're the one's really taking christ out of christmas, kah out of hanukah, and the kwan out of kwanza. Oh wait, you mean there are more holidays at this time of year than christmas, making the phrase 'happy holidays' a valid one? No way...

I think next year you should invest in some minatures to strew the lawn.

It looks just like the witch's house in Hansel and Gretel. Do people go in there to cash checks and NEVER COME OUT?????
