… I’ve actually come up with what I think is a particularly fantastic idea for a non-fiction book. Of course, *I* think it’s fantastic because a) I came up with it, natch; b) it’s a book I wanted to buy as a gift for a friend, and amazingly someone hasn’t written it yet. Are any […]

Thankful Tuesdays: Happy New Year 2012
I am thankful for time off. I was blissfully unplugged from the interwebs (except for the odd foray in when I needed to look up Ricardo Montalban and Corinthian Leather in Wikipedia, of course) over the holiday break. But now I’m ready to catch up on my Reader and find out what you all have […]

The little engine that… whoa
MisterMister and I were watching Anthony Bourdain’s latest Christmas episode while Gilgamesh caught a few ZZZs. We were very entertained by Christopher Walken’s cameo, which stimulated this discussion: MisterMister: You know what would be great? Me: What? MisterMister: If Christopher Walken did audiobooks of children’s stories! Me: *snort* That would be AWESOME! MisterMister: You know, […]

Red Writing Hood: Simple Joys
“Three… Two… One…” Each finger disappears along with the number, until there are none. Then I “woosh!” my hand away as your teeth arrange themselves into the smile that I can see always, even with my eyes closed, like the imprint of the light after a sunset stare. “One… Two… Three… Four… Fiiiiiiiivvvvve!” This time […]

My tribute to Seinfeld
In that this is a post about nothing. And probably not even in a funny way, but whatevs. —— A few days ago at work, I got an email from someone notifying me that a meeting was canceled. This is a direct quote: “We apologize for the incontinence and will be rescheduling the call…” Teehee. […]

Thankful Tuesdays: My Liver
Yes. I am thankful for my liver. My liver, and BEER. Last night we and a frouple who lives a few houses down from us finally managed to get our schedules aligned and made it out to dinner together (we’ve been attempting to make this happen for about 6 months now). Luckily, grandparents were available […]

Monday Listicles: My Hometown(s)
My Hometown(s) 1. My first hometown is a place I only know through the voice of my father. The rocky beaches, the lonely trailer, the naval base. 2. My second hometown is a place where my sundered parents fought at Eastertime over whose weekend it was. 3. My third hometown gave me a river as […]

Random: Get your candies straight
A conversation today as M and I climbed the stairs to our respective offices after lunch: ————- M: (munching leftover Halloween candy) Do M&Ms really melt in your mouth? Me: What? M: Do M&Ms really melt in your mouth? (munch munch munch) I really wouldn’t call this sensation melting. Me: Honey, those aren’t M&Ms. M: […]

Red Writing Hood: A Caroling we go
The doorbell rings. The children sing. The adults sing, too, but only halfheartedly with busy hands full of scarves and lonely single mittens… and busy heads full of lists and anxious “what if”s rather than words to a time-worn carol. As always, there are somehow too many sopranos. How are there always too many sopranos? […]
