I covet. But how the hell do this many people (est. 500,000!) have $600 to spend on a phone? Okay, someone pointed out to me that the majority of these people actually don’t have the money to buy this phone (note to self: buy stock in credit card companies). Still. I am way, WAY, too [...]

Dear Anonymous Commenters of My Blog,
I welcome you to comment on my blog and agree or disagree with me, but if you wish to do so, I only ask that you don’t leave behind shit droppings replete with condescending, preachy tones. Let me explain something: I do not read your comment and then smack myself in the head and say, [...]

Wax On Wax Dull
My latest favorite line from The 40-Year-Old Virgin (because yes, I’ve watched it that many times—you gotta problem with that?):
“I like your sweater. Does that come in a v-neck?”
(My previous favorite line was: “You look like a man o’ lantern.”)
Here’s the scene, but if you don’t like immature and stupid humor with a large dose [...]

Kickass
Now that we’re (sort of) settling in, I am dedicating myself to getting my shit together and using my brain on things other than boxes and rearranging furniture and getting through to do lists. To start: this is a delayed response to everyone who has been commenting—thank you! I love seeing old and new commenters [...]

Sofaking Blog
In an effort to clean up my language and get back into the good graces of the DDR Police, I’m going to try really really hard to be 2-legit-2-quit over here. (Or at least curse in code.)
My last post was over a month ago but I feel like I’ve been gone for twelve years. I [...]

“Would you lie with me and just forget the world?”
I have been avoiding my Google Reader, packing my desk all around my computer and eyeing that link with near-starving temptation. But I know if I get started I won’t stop and before I know it, the movers will be here and I’ll deliriously begin ranting to them about MN’s crazy in-laws/racist neighbors and showing [...]

Virus Hiatus
After two visits to the pediatrician, one ear infection, confirmation of a virus brewing on top of another that was ending, and a few episodes of barfing, I finally caught the bugs’ bug. Along with it came a three-day fever. I don’t think I’ve ever had a fever for that long. No amount of medicine [...]

Spongecake
After that very heavy last post (thank you for letting me get that out), I am going to keep this light and airy. Like spongecake.
Let me preface this by revealing that the Internet is my concubine (oh I know: only males have concubines, yada yada yada, but give me a break—I just called the [...]

Weirdmama: Korean Edition and Random Blogging Thoughts
My last ‘weird’ post made me realize that some of the weirder things about me are Korean-based. So I thought I would write an addendum. I’m not sure if these are limited to Koreans, or open-ended to include all Asians, or just limited to my family. So feel free to share, plead the Fifth, or [...]

Weirdmama
Uh-oh. Kim has tagged me with the Six Weird Things meme. Since I’ve already written about my overloaded sense of smell, here are the other ‘weird’ (and as Beloved said, it’s all relative, right?) things I can think about myself:
1. I am somewhat of a germaphobe, but it is selective germaphobia. I’m totally paranoid in [...]
