  • Carissa Explains It All

    Awww, Carissa Gaghan – everyone’s favorite moppet Racer – is doing recaps of The Amazing Race this season. The really funny bit is that Eric and Jeremy are her favorite team. I guess when the sexual “innuendo” goes right over your head, they’re just cute, doofy guys. (And hey, Tricia, Bill Gaghan will be running the Boston Marathon with you!)

  • Mighty Mouse

    A mouse with amazing healing abilities. Obviously the next step is to graft adamantium to its skeleton, thus creating the world’s first X-Mouse.

  • Rogue

    Rogue sleeves are off the needles! I repeat, they are off the needles! Now I just need to block the damn things, supposedly.

  • Creative Empowerment

    I feel a surge of creative empowerment. The Pine Street Creative Arts Centre is just around the corner from my house and I’ve been thinking of doing one of their courses for ages. Anybody else interested in doing the Thursday night pottery wheel class with me?

  • DietBlog

    It was just a little over a year ago when I asked you guys about Weight Watchers. Less than a week later I joined. Initially progress was rapid but by the end of the year I was really struggling. Fortunately 2006 brought renewed optimism and energy. Soon I accomplished one of my mini-goals: getting into a size fourteen. Then I sailed past twenty kilos lost on my way to officially not being overweight. The only two goals left were to achieve my Weight Watchers goal weight of 78 (thus qualifying me for free meetings) and then to get down to my own personal goal of 75. And tonight…

    GOAL!

    I would like to personally thank all of you guys who answered my original plea: Sara, Niffler, Jenny, Aunt Deb, Brigita, Tricia, Max, Andrew, Oolookitty, and Kristine. You guys have changed my life.

  • Knitty

    A new Knitty makes everything better…

  • I’m offended.

    For the record, Adidas, I’m offended. That looks like Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

  • The best laid plans…

    The only thing worse than knowing I’m going to be short a member of staff all day is the absolute certainty that just when I think everything is going to be okay, one of the other employees will call in sick. Happens every goddamn time. (And inevitably on the day I’ve worn my most uncomfortable shoes in the expectation that I’ll be working at my desk and not on my feet serving customers.) *sigh* Only three more days til vacation…

    Later: I bit the hell out of the inside of my cheek.

    Later: The lid came off my lunch and spilled sauce all down my pantleg.

    Later: And I swear, it was like it was Facial Deformity Day here in the shop. I had customer after customer sporting unfortunate facial conditions and I COULD NOT LOOK AWAY. I’m going home.

  • Horrified.

    I am officially horrified. Is this the situation the anti-choice crowd want to have in America? Where a woman suffering an ectopic pregnancy has no choice but to wait until her her fallopian tube ruptures?

  • The Treesweater

    The Treesweater. Awww, that really is sorta cute (in a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree kinda way).
