If you know me at all, you know that I am, in a word, vulgar. No problem … I am who I am and, furthermore, I like who I am. So imagine my disappointment to realize that something I have been saying for years turns out to be open to a “rude, indecent, indelicate,…
My darling husband decided we needed to upgrade our cable equipment. He wasn’t wrong. Our equipment is very old (and yes, this is true of us personally as well as the cable company equipment – but cable company upgrades to equipment are free). So he unhooked everything, and I took my silly ass down…
So I’m in rehearsal for a production of 1776 (playing Ben Franklin), and the head of the cane I am using has developed an alarming wobble. In fact, if you pull on the head of the cane, it comes right off. I checked with our illustrious prop lady (Ruthe) and she assured me…
Particularly proud of myself tonight. The toilet in my bathroom kept running, stopping, running, ad infinitum. Argh. This toilet has been such a pain in the ass. Always something not working right. And of course, it isn’t easy to get to because I, in my questionable wisdom, put an over-the-toilet space saver over the…
No, I don’t think I have a cold. The problem is I was at the set shop (1776) today and I have a mega snoot full of sawdust, paint dust, and spackle dust. Kudos to Jeffrey, king of the shop, for keeping us all productive doing things within each person’s abilities. For me that…
I was on my way to Dollar Tree (LOVE $Tree) this morning. It’s been chilly and wet, but since we’re in Northern California, you know it’s not too bad. Still … There’s a homeless guy and his dog, sharing a sleeping bag under awning of an empty storefront. Not begging, just hanging, and I…
Tonight my husband and I went to see a screening of Kevin Smith’s latest film, Yoga Hosers. We are both long time Kevin Smith fans. We listen regularly to podcasts Fat Man on Batman and Hollywood Babble-on, as well as Kevin Smith adjacent Tell ‘em Steve Dave. We used to listen to Smodcast, but we’re…
Don’t you love discovering things you really, really like? There is, of course, the question of, “How did I not know about this?” But you know now, and that’s a goodness. Making the rounds in the fat community is a lovely music video by rapper/singer Lizzo for her song My Skin. Lizzo reminds me…
Ranch flavored Fritos? Why did nobody tell me about these? How long have these existed without me knowing? Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. Thank you snack food gods. I have truly been blessed by you.
Yes, earbud. You know, like in the end of the headphones you put in your ear? Take one fat old lady. Add one uncomfortably hot day. Add a fan at the feet of the fat old lady to cool her off from the effects of said hot day. Add one great Fred Astaire and…
Well, almost. The other day, I was heating up some leftovers for my lunch in the microwave. It appears my finger stuttered when I set the time (and I had to manually set the time because I wanted to use a lower power setting – which maybe saved me and the house). And then…
As you may have noted, I like to include some kind of image with my blog posts. I really enjoy searching and finding an image that tickles my fancy. For some reason, Yahoo wants to tickle more than my fancy when I do an image search. When I do a Google image search, I get…
