This post is almost two months old and has been sitting in my drafts, completed with the exception of a picture I didn’t have on hand when I wrote it. I forgot about it, it became dated, and it has sat in my drafts feeling sad and lonely. I made some minor changes to fix […]
I keep changing my tagline because I still don’t know what I’m doing with this blog and because I like to pretend that anyone other than me might actually care. Also on the list of bloggy-things-that-only-I-care-about, I redesigned the page now that I have this supremely amazing-but-not-really new tagline that I will change nineteen times […]
I got my visa! You may now perform the elaborate choreography that you have worked out for the occasion. Leave video proof in the comments. (sidebar: can you? I’ve been singing endless praises of Disqus, but I think that exceeds its capabilities. #wompwomp) The picture I didn’t get to see is now in my passport […]
This weekend I went back up to Chicago to visit the family and go back to the French Consulate for Please Give Me A Visa: round 2. As one would expect, because this is me, it was a bit of a debacle. Before we even left for Chicago I was rushed out the door, still […]
The other day I made a comment to a friend about my ineptitude with fairly basic things like walking, cleaning, and packing. My first thought was, “I’m blogging that.” My next thought was, “Well that’s pathetic. I need life.” But I have been a bit lazy with this blogging thing lately. My drafts queue has […]

A lot of you already know this story, so I’ll keep it short: Many months ago a bunch of bloggers came up with the amazing idea to start recording themselves doing karaoke. I was actually present for the early conversations about this topic, but promptly went into hiding. I have alluded to the possibility of […]
I have been on vacation for the last several days, but I am now at home in bed with some obscure disease, by which I mean I just have a ferocious cold and my body is producing world record amounts of snot. Glad I shared, right? Right. Anyway, the Shitty Movie Awareness Club became a […]
As I seem to constantly forget what month it is, May seems to have crept up on my like every other month of the year did before it. Apparently I am really fucking easy to creep up on. We’ll add that to the never-ending list of Things I Need To Work On. (Why haven’t I […]
