Megan knows arse-all about... — 05.18.2012 by blau
(The Art of Conversation.) Post-sushi intellectual discourse
Awfully Chipper: Where are my bonbons? — 05.17.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Why do I not yet have a housemaid? Why is my bathroom not sparkling clean? These and other questions.
Awfully Chipper: How that's going — 05.15.2012 by Maud_Gonne
What I will do when the zombie invasion begins.
Megan knows arse-all about... — 05.15.2012 by blau
(Befuddlement.) Who is more at fault here?
Jan for All Seasons — 05.14.2012 by Jan
When I was in college, I studied history. And the number-one thing you get asked as a history major is…no, it’s not “Can I get fries with that?” but now we’ve got that joke out of the way.
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 05.13.2012 by blau
(Being human.) I am trying to mute my f***-off-and-leave-me-alone demeanor (which is not always intentional). It has almost worked.
Awfully Chipper: Labels schmabels — 05.12.2012 by Maud_Gonne
It turns out I couldn't just leave a controversy well enough alone, even though I have nothing new to say about it.
Awfully Chipper: Mabel rides — 05.11.2012 by Maud_Gonne
New wheels for Mabel.
Still Waters Run No Mills — 05.11.2012 by planetmort
Remember when I sued the government and lost? Here's an update.
Chaos Attraction: This American Life Live! — 05.11.2012 by Jennifer
It was a very amusing, cool show. Ira was probably the most relaxed-ish that you've ever seen him on camera.
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 05.11.2012 by blau
(Fading Away.) He might correct some of my hyperbolic generalities.
Jan for All Seasons — 05.11.2012 by Jan
There are stories in these scrawls.
Awfully Chipper: Being weird — 05.10.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Sometimes it helps to be alien wherever you are.
Chaos Attraction: An Adult Thing — 05.9.2012 by Jennifer
I am ridiculously proud of myself now for doing An Adult Thing.
Megan knows arse-all about... — 05.9.2012 by blau
(This internet thing.) It's infuriating and confusing - reading comprehension has gone out the window with the rise of social media-related attention deficiencies.
Awfully Chipper: Favouritism — 05.8.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Another night, another pair of boobs.
Jan for All Seasons — 05.8.2012 by Jan
When you have a newborn, all of the parents of older children and grown children tell you, “Enjoy every moment! It’s gone before you realize it!” You hear it all the time.
Chaos Attraction: Solo to Dixon — 05.8.2012 by Jennifer
I wore my "Joss Whedon Is My Master Now" shirt, which was much appreciated in geekdom. (Second of two.)
Awfully Chipper: More than meets — 05.7.2012 by Maud_Gonne
What you see is not always what's right in front of you after all.
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 05.7.2012 by blau
The world does not need more a**holes.
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 05.6.2012 by blau
(Challenges that sound like radio stations.) Wrote this Moozy Bizzy Quonthly yesterday.
Awfully Chipper: Deceptemuffin — 05.5.2012 by Maud_Gonne
A muffin-related ethical dilemma, if you can imagine such a thing.
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 05.4.2012 by blau
(Demons (inner).) People who know what movie that's from will laugh and laugh at me. Shut up.
Awfully Chipper: Freeloading — 05.3.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Hoping karma doesn't catch up with me.
Awfully Chipper: Backpedal — 05.2.2012 by Maud_Gonne
About that Star Wars party.
Awfully Chipper: I took the BART in San Francisco — 05.1.2012 by Maud_Gonne
(But not this time.)
A Jan for All Seasons — 04.30.2012 by Jan
When I was 18, I went on a trip to Germany for about a week and a half, and I came home with about 20 photos, no more. I made a conscious decision on that trip that I was going to experience it, and remember it, rather than seeing it from behind the viewfinder of a camera.
Awfully Chipper: Fight or flight — 04.30.2012 by Maud_Gonne
I'm baaaack! With tales of travel and eventually that birthday party.
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 04.30.2012 by blau
(Cancon.) Having interned in a newsroom? This is pretty much exactly what's it's like. My boss was not as big an ass, but everyone was just as jaded.
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 04.28.2012 by blau
(Profundity, practicality, and puerility.) I should clean the bathroom, but I want to go for a bike ride and read in the pub instead.
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 04.26.2012 by blau
(Harvard crew.) Instead of spending your day typing 'lol 2 cute!!' in reply to pictures of babies with spaghetti on their heads or watching videos of trampolining foxes for hours a day, try learning something.
Awfully Chipper: Birthday cake — 04.25.2012 by Maud_Gonne
I don't do fancy cakes. Let this serve as a lesson to us all.
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 04.25.2012 by blau
(Remembering where she put her keys.) I'm Canadian! I don't know much about the U.S. Civil War, okay?
Megan knows arse-all about... — 04.24.2012 by blau
(Eights.) Please be realistic; lots of bits of you are useful to others after you're done with them.
Awfully Chipper: With apologies to AA Milne. — 04.24.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Birthday retrospective.
Awfully Chipper: On the radio — 04.23.2012 by Maud_Gonne
The Irish person's unique relationship with U2.
Chaos Attraction: Honorary Birthday — 04.23.2012 by Jennifer
I would like to point out that, apropos of nothing, there's mention of various tapestries featuring large animals going down on small ones and vice versa. I believe a peacock mounted an elephant, an owl mounted...something else huge, and there's one mention of a leviathan mounting a snail. At one point there was a children's rhyme sung about the first one--something like "When a peacock mounts an elephant-- everything else is irrelevant."
Megan Knows Arse-All About... — 04.22.2012 by blau
(Staying sad.) My parents were married 40 years ago today.
Chaos Attraction: Picnic Day Bandsanity — 04.22.2012 by Jennifer
But this time...HOLY CRAP, IT WAS A CRAZY-ASS HIPPIE PARTY. I'm talking the likes of me wishing I'd been a band member because it REALLY looked like fun to be playing there today.
Awfully Chipper: Uncharitable thoughts — 04.21.2012 by Maud_Gonne
Inside my head I am not such a nice mommy.
