July 11th

I did something weird July 11th. I’m so not a ‘line’ person as in with the exception of waiting my turn to ride a Sea-Doo or a killer ride at Disneyland, nothing to me, is worth standing in an idle...

TIM RUSSERT

I'm kind of in mourning. I LOVED Tim Russert and am sad he is gone. Died today after collapsing from what appears to be a heart attack. He was NBC's Washington Bureau Chief though many people knew him best as...

Mother Nature

M.N. can be one mean bit*h. Just as I was droning on about how much we dig Austin with the exception of some bugs and bumper grazing drivers, I had no idea what could really turn into some scary sh*t....

Political Ads – Make it Stop

As I’ve been a bit house bound lately with a small human attached to me (literally), I’ve had my face directed at ‘the box’ for which I have exactly 5 channels. (Don’t try to make sense of it, we’re freaks...

Mom Gave Dope To Infant Daughter

I’m not easily shocked or even mildly surprised by pretty much anything. I’ve read one too many true crime books to know that people do odd things. Or in other words, unexplainable, uncomprehensible, weird sh*t. However, this little bit of...
