• 29 day challenge: friends, day 3: in which I have a least favorite main character …

    I know that the popular thing now is to hate Ross Geller. And I get it: he’s whiny, possessive, insensitive, and every single one of the negative attributes that have tacked onto him like he’s a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-jackass. But honestly? That’s not the reason he’s my least favorite character on Friends.

    It should not come as any surprise to any one who knows me, even in a very superficial sense, that my favorite Friends character is Phoebe Buffay. Seriously, she’s the absolute best, and there is no way anyone could convince me otherwise. While the rest of the cast seemed to be reduced to caricatures by…

  • 29 day friends challenge, day 1: in which I was introduced to friends …

    I was only 9 or 10 when Friends first came on the air, and honestly, I wasn’t really allowed to watch it. Well, I’m not 100% sure about that because I never asked, but based on the fact that everyone was having lots of premarital sex, starting with the very first episode, I’m fairly certain…

    I know I had mentioned this project of mine at least a week ago, although it could be longer, seeing as time has no meaning, but anyway, I actually completed a project of mine! From start to finish! Thanks, Nick Offerman! There was this old yellow dresser that almost literally fell apart when I tried…

    As I promised last week – I guess I’m doing on rotation … on Wednesdays now? – I going with some hidden gems, or as I like to call them, deep cuts from the days of my youth. Some of these you may remember, while others may be just as obscure as they were then.…

    I just recently finished listening to the audiobook version of Nick Offerman’s Paddle Your Own Canoe (which I called Build Your Own Canoe for at least a week before realizing my mistake) and discovered something truly horrible about myself: I suck royally at follow-through.  Like … I really suck at it.

    So, in our house, my sister and I have this little reading “nook*” by the doors leading out to the deck, an idea I had after moving the little dresser that had been there for years. It’s not much at the moment, but it’s a comfy seat to wait for the dogs to come back…

    When people reminisce about the music from their youth, it’s usually from their high school years, and while 1999 – 2002 was a fairly formative era for me, I mean … I just don’t have that nostalgia. Sure, I bop around to “Hot in Herre” by Nelly “No One Knows” by Queens of the Stone…

    I truly wish I were kidding, but I am not. I have essentially not watched anything other than episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on YouTube. It’s an effective way to keep your mind off of quarantine and people refusing to wear masks because it’s their body/choice and unemployment and the clementine buffoon in the…

    It’s been so long since I’ve done one of these! I mean, it’s been so long since I’ve done anything on this blog, actually, so that makes sense. But! Like everything in my and your lives right now, this post is corona-related. I’m working from home, as I said in my last post, and since…
