You know you’re a townie

I recently had a Twitterversation about when one can call oneself a true Bloomington townie. And then it launched into a bigger Twitterversation, which was really awesome. As one who has lived here all of my life (give or take six months abroad), I feel rather qualified to put forth a few suggestions, but first [...]

Herp-y Holidays!

I guess I didn’t have much to say in November…that’s a bad blogger. Here’s one last post before December hits us like a sack of coal, to get you in the mood for the holidays!

I drew this just for you.

I think this perfectly captures my feelings towards the holidays this year. Thanksgiving’s [...]

Waving evolutions

When I was a fresh-faced young undergrad, I was still quite shy and a little sketchy–not that I was creepin’ around, giving people the stink-eye–but I mean that I hadn’t fully figured out who I was yet. I’m sure I haven’t fully figured that out even now, but I can safely say I feel more [...]

Why men are in trouble

I have an overwhelming need to rant about this article that I’ve seen all over the social medias this past week, and I’ve discovered that I have a blog , and that’s probably where I’m allowed to rant.

Why men are in trouble–CNN.com

Basically, this article is saying that men are idiots and women are [...]

You must be this awesome to ride

Disclaimer: I started writing this when I was angry at someone for not meeting my expectations. Thank goodness I know so many awesome people who astound me in every way (you are one of them) to balance out the duds.

Most people probably don’t have a checklist of qualities they look for in a friend. [...]

Music memory

I’ve said before that music is the surest way for me to be pulled into the past. It’s like a wormhole–one minute I’m minding my own business, listening to one of my Pandora stations and creating endless wishlists on clothing sites working hard, then suddenly a song grabs me by the stomach and pulls me [...]

Portrait of a cat

I’m working on a real post, but it’s going to require some more field research than I had anticipated…so here’s a cheap post about my cat!

Here she is. Her name was very nearly Soap, Stegosaurus, or Cow. But instead her name is Pixel.

It's actually Pixel Cowbell Smidget Cowbell. Because she had a [...]

She’s a crafty little SOB

Fiance and I were discussing childhood past times the other day, and I realized how very crafty I’ve been throughout the years. Crafty as in conniving and mischievous, yes, but also crafty as in crafts. Y. Crafts-y. As an only child, my mother very smartly exposed me to a wide array of art projects and [...]

A Capell-enough already

So, if we’re friends IRL you may know that I fucking love a Capella music. Yeah. F-bomb. What. You may also have noticed I’m a little crazy about it lately. If you have not noticed, then, well… good for you. You probably have better things to do with your life.

At any rate, I am [...]

Things that are cute on the Internet

Holiday crazies got you down? Papers and finals making it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Here are a few things that remind me the world is full of happiness and cute.

1. Slow Loris loves getting tickled

You will never be this happy, but it’s nice to see someone [...]
