It’s that time again, the last days of March, the first days of April…the time when practically everyone good in the Universe was born! The next week of so will be the annual cavalcade of Aries (Arieses? Arii?) I know I do this every year, same people, etc., but hey: 1. tradition is good 2. […]

Hate the French and bloody peasants? Spot on! What Monty Pytter are you?   Well, u– um, can we come up and have a look? Take this quiz!

As in “victim of a brutal mugging.”  That’s how we all felt after Friday’s dress-shopping marathon. We made the mistake of thinking that a weekday would have fewer crowds, but we forgot that it was: a. good friday and everyone had the day off,  b. coming up on Prom season.  So the shops were packed […]

In a short time I’m going to be picked up by pal Cheri, her mom, and The Other Bridesmaid and whisked off to David’s Bridal for dress browsing and maybe tryings-on. Three over-30, cynical, bitter, sometime former-Gothy and always Gaming Geeky women in a store that is designed to cater to young, fru-fru girls who […]

A few more random tidbits… – Did you know that there’s a Pimp My Ride, UK Edition? Now you do. – The British make some kick ass Easter eggs. – I learned that while all of Scotland rocks, I really like it better up in Aberdeen and/or the Highlands. Things in Edinburgh seemed too “English”; […]

A quick break from our usual pointless drivel to bring you something of substance. I’ve been avoiding any mention of the 08 presidential race because…well, mainly because I Just Don’t Care. I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no hope because the problem lies in the basic nature of the majority of the people […]

So our trip was to Edinburgh. We stayed there the entire week and didn’t venture out of the city, but never ran out of things to see. I had hoped that we could rent a car one of the days and motor the hour or so south to Lindesfarne Island (home of history’s FIRST-EVA recorded […]

Well, we’re back. So where were we?  Here’s a hint – More details to come later!  I wish I could write more now, but I am still digging out from under laundry and emails.

This here blog is on vacation beginning now! Will return to your usual pointless, self-absorbed crap on or around March 17th. In the meantime, here are the best 5 seconds of the film Mystery, Alaska. (If only the rest of the movie had been this good.) I could easily be entertained by this for a […]

Since we were discussing famous royal redheads named Henry earlier in the week, did y’all see the photos of Hot Harry in Afghanistan? I *heart* Harry! Prince Wills was very cute once, be his looks peaked tragically at 18. Harry, on the other hand, just gets better all the time. As a major medieval English […]

Oh Fire! Oh Brimstone! Sackcloth! Ashes! Plagues of locusts! The seas have turned to blood! PACKERS QB FAVRE TO RETIRE GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Brett Favre has decided to retire from the NFL after 17 seasons. FOX Sports first reported Tuesday that the Green Bay Packers quarterback informed the team in the last few […]

The Other Boleyn Girl isn’t has as horrible as you think it’s going to be, but it’s nothing approaching good either. I went because the novel it was based on, though wildly historically inaccurate, was soapy, smutty, dishy fun. “History through porn,” Scarlett Johansson called it. Much to its detriment, the movie version is none […]
