The kitten adorableness knows no bounds

Payton, Joey, Katie… you all need to take note of this. You are officially on notice until you get a job and start pulling your weight around here. Contrary to your belief, kitten kibble does not grow on trees, especially since we freaked and switched you to the good stuff after [...]

Two strikes and you’re out

Today I was going to write a funny post about my new car, but it’ll have to wait until tomorrow because I just have to get this off my chest.
I am PMSing, and as many of you know, when I PMS there’s not much that can trump my desperate and immediate need for food. [...]

For Robin

Hon, this is for you and your box of Ritz crackers… have fun with it!

Brought to you by the letter T

To the sexy man with the bright red ball cap on the T-train who was making eyes with me: You were the only thing that made that overcrowded ride on the T-train bearable last night.
I’m sure you could tell that my friend and I were trying our damnedest to not press up against the [...]

I’m A Creep

There is something that tickles me about a classical 40-piece adolescent girl’s choir singing I’m A Creep by Radiohead. If you haven’t heard anything by the Scala Choir (and I think I stand a good chance at saying that you probably haven’t), they are fantastic. I think the thing I like about them the most [...]

Explain [...]

“SG, how much did those fancy chocolate eggs cost you?”
“Fourteen dollars.”
“Whoa! What do you plan on doing with them?”
“Sorry, I’m not following you.”
“Well, they’re pretty. Are you going to keep them out as decoration?”
“Are you mad woman? I didn’t by a Faberge egg. They’re chocolate, what do you think I’m going to do with them?”
“You’re [...]

Feelings, Nothing More Than Feelings

I am not a people person. That’s not to say that I am an angry louse just waiting to do people harm, I’m not. I just prefer the company of few rather than of many and those who I do truly enjoy I enjoy with all my heart. However, I have a time limit on [...]

Please Seek Medical Attention

The powers behind the scene here at TCDA are telling me that a lot of people who stumble upon my blog are googling some form of “throbbing vein on foreheads.” I’m getting a lot of these hits and they’re happening more and more every day. This concerns me.
Kids, if you have a throbbing vein [...]

A Cry for Help

Can someone please listen to track 2 (Keep The Car Running) of the new The Arcade Fire CD and tell me what Bruce Springsteen song* it reminds you of? The two music gurus of my life don’t see the similarity. It’s driving me crazy.
Someone please put me out of my misery.
