portman rulez; ten bucks
I wish I could find a link to the Natalie Portman rap video from SNL… it’s the best thing! Rook told me this, and I didn’t believe him. It turns out to be true. Portman bitching and cussing and telling … finish reading portman rulez; ten bucks
ninjas are like that
Leaving z-amber’s pirate/ninja party last night at around 10… someone in a wonderful ninja suit with tinfoil throwing stars tucked into the sleeves sneaked past us on the stairs. “I’m a ninja, you can’t see me, I’m so sneaky.” Me: … finish reading ninjas are like that
i get my back up
It’s funny how Rook’s mum sometimes put my back up with her new-yorky assumptions about Texas. I’m bristling all over at her comments about the scaryiness, hickness, Bush, etc. And snapped “Austin is lovely and cosmopolitan and liberal and full … finish reading i get my back up
Moomin explains his animals
Moomin explained some of his animals tonight. I love these stories. If you think of the animals as personality-fragments that get split off from the self as a sort of personal-narrative reality-processing experiment, it’s very comforting that he knows how … finish reading Moomin explains his animals
games day at the library
I had a really nice game day at the library. I played Upwords with Eliz and Moomin (Eliz won; score 83-82-75). Then was going to play Terra, but this kind of annoying guy in a beret came to join us, … finish reading games day at the library
Biotech comix
Another note on “Biotech comix”, a comic book from 1983. From the art and from the storyline and the writing style… it really looks like Roberta Gregory! It’s about a biotech worker who gets fed up with her job and … finish reading Biotech comix
thoughts on abortion rights
I enjoyed yellowjellybean’s thoughts on Molly Saves the Day’s post on how to do abortions. I went to a menstrual extraction workshop years ago when abortion rights in TX were seriously threatened. It’s probably time to start looking into that … finish reading thoughts on abortion rights
monkey wife
I’m reading “His Monkey Wife” by John Collier. It’s extremely odd. I picked it up from the cheap used books table at Potlatch. Anyway, this was Collier’s first novel, from 1930. I’m on chapter 2 and besides being an uncomfortable … finish reading monkey wife
Bad interviews, bad moms
My first experience with real potty training this morning – not a good time as I was trying to work – and also because it seemed to be Day of Diarrhea. Aw man. I was ready to puke. It was … finish reading Bad interviews, bad moms
Bossing babies, problems of translation
After a month long time with barely any babysitting – seems like forever – I have now added an extra morning – a friend of a friend who has a home daycare. There, this morning, Moomin discovered the joys of … finish reading Bossing babies, problems of translation
The kids next door
After reading Joshua Norton’s strip mining blog I was thinking about rh and lh and their cousins who used to live next door to me up in the Santa Cruz Mtns. The youngest was 7, rh was 11 and lh … finish reading The kids next door
Ass-spackle, Invisigirdle, and ElbOff!
Today I was supposed to finish doing laundry, mow the lawn, buy a pitchfork, turn compost heap, maybe buy some lumber to build a sandbox, finish all reading for class, type up class notes. Instead: did a little homework, pointlessly … finish reading Ass-spackle, Invisigirdle, and ElbOff!
Thanks for showing us your beaver
Moomin looking out the window at the plastic yard animal in the grass: “Scuse me, Mister Beaver, you all wet, you having a bath, you need a towel?” Me and Minnie cracking up at this sweet concern on his part. … finish reading Thanks for showing us your beaver
About bags
About Bags I have this problem with backpacks and bags and purses… My theory of bags is that they are a manifestation of goddess-like power, of feminine abundance and fertility. Like the mother in The Swiss Family Robinson, in any … finish reading About bags
