It’s 10pm and the students are already storming the street, slammed drunk, polluting my lawn with puke and beer cans.
Get offa my lawn.

Air-Breathing, Water-Drinking Earthlings
Published April 22nd, 2009 in Children, E, Education, Environment, Holidays, Parenthood and School. 4 CommentsLast night Ethan’s third grade class put on an Earth Day celebration, a “Prairie Home Companion” styled radio show, that was packed full of epic recorder songs and appeals to their parents to recycle and consume water and electricity in more responsible ways. Even though it was relatively standard in the school recital sense, [...]
I didn’t get anything done that I meant to get done this weekend. Not a single thing. I suppose I still have some time to do laundry.
But what’s really in my craw is why everyone else’s tulips are blooming and mine aren’t. I have one lone pink bud in the backyard that [...]
I’m still a little surprised by how much my job has cultivated a hunger for pop culture analysis in me. For one, I’m way too invested in it. Like, I’m sitting around on my computer doing my taxes after work with my pants unbuttoned, thinking about how one of us is going to [...]
I’m curious why someone like Roman Polanski, who admitted to raping a minor, gets a pass from certain feminist bloggers because they like his movies and art isn’t affected by it’s maker or something, while depictions of sexual violence by non-criminal movie makers is awful and instructive and bad.
Aren’t they one and the same? [...]
Others are grossed out by the trailer and what appears to be a rape scene in the movie, and I while see why they’re so squicked and angry, I’m actually relatively interested in seeing the movie because I’m a fan of Jody Hill’s previous work. I love “Eastbound and Down” and adored “The Foot [...]
OMG I love them so much.
Sixty degrees and sunny. Lazy day, no plans or responsibilities at all. TWO DAY WEEKEND. Yesterday was pay day. I’m about to throw on some pants and plant a bunch of flowers, and Chef is smoking a huge pork shoulder in the backyard. You can’t go anywhere on the property [...]
But I’ve been had.
Several feminist bloggers are writing about this “Two Months’ Salary” art piece by Lee Gainer, a piece that pairs a job title with the kinds of jewelry two months’ salary can actually buy.
But I’m more piqued by two things:
1) I can’t tell much of a difference between the kinds of rings pictured. Sure, [...]
Ethan is at an age where he likes to hear about how he came to be. Recently there has been a lot of geneological talk, wherein I explain he’s got a very European stock from my side and a very Asian stock from his dad’s (what sucks is that I don’t know a lot [...]
I know I’ve already established that Fidel is weird, but there’s this other weird thing he does. If I ever get the camera charged I’ll have to take a picture of it.
He likes to stand with his face against the wall, like, eyes open, unmoving for great lengths of time, face millimeters from the [...]
