All over the news today. A kid brings a digital clock he made himself to school and ends up taken away from the school in handcuffs and suspended for 3 days. WTF? Apparently, an English teacher at the school decided the homemade clock looked like a bomb. Okay. Except it wasn’t a bomb. It was…
And I will have the scars to prove it. Today is the first day that I had to give little fuzz brain Oliver his B vitamin shot. Not something I was looking forward to; but you gotta do what you gotta do. He was out early today (he usually snoozes either in my closet…
I have written before about our scaredy cat Oliver. Ollie’s mother was a feral kitty, and although we got him when he was just a kitten, he has never been trustful of humans. Not even us. Over the years, he got a little bit better – willing to sit out in the living room with…
I know this show ended up on my Netflix list because it is listed as a spin-off from Dr. Who; but by the time I got around to watching it, I had forgotten that. In fact, I never remembered it. I just got reminded by looking at Wikipedia. This show is just so bizarre and…
Newsflash – fat children existed in the 1960s. I just hate to be disappointed by one of my heroes. I recently found out that an artist whom I really admired was FaceBook friends with one of my friends. I sent the artist a friend request (with an explanation that she didn’t know me but I…
Why, oh why, oh why do Firefox and NetFlix hate each other? Does everyone have this problem? Or is it just lucky me and my computer? For most of my internet stuff I use Mozilla Firefox. I find it is the least problematic – except and until I try to use Netflix. Then I am…
(Basically, this haircut, only red instead of blond) In April, I got my hair cut into a smart bob. Prior to that I had let it grow to the wad it up and pin it on top of your head length. And I haven’t had a haircut since April. As I have bitched before,…
I have worn body mics in a lot of shows; but during my most recent show (Irene – I played Geraldine O’Dare, Irene’s mother, and quite frankly, I rocked it thanks to a great director, staff, crew and rest of the cast – truly wonderful folks all), we were asked to handle the mics with…
Have you seen the Avengers? The 2012 movie, not the new one. Of course you have. Since we spare ourselves the trauma of watching a movie in a movie theater (where narrow seats pinch my fat old lady ass and the floors are sticky with things best not thought of – much less stepped in),…
Michigan is in the news! And it’s good news – sort of. Michigan is the only state in the United States that has head lice that have not mutated and become resistant to over-the-counter treatments! Um. Whoo-hoo? Seems that head lice in a lot of states have become resistant to pyrethroids, the active ingredient in…
