Scrubs need not apply

Posted by: sparklepants on: August 31, 2006

Melissa and I have decided that we need to draw up applications for the future Mr. Uses Us’s Usses (like asses). It will save us a lot of torment and worry in the future if we can eliminate people with the simple glance of a paper/email/whatever instead of slogging through a first date. So far [...]

What to say when you have nothing to say

Posted by: sparklepants on: August 29, 2006

Beth made a post over at her blog today about how she’s a bad blog reader and commenter and she wanted to read the blogs of her readers and blah blah blah. Something I should probably dedicate my time to one of these days since I’m a notorious reader-but-not-commenter. Well. That’s not exactly true. I [...]

This week in activism

Posted by: sparklepants on: August 28, 2006

Since I still need space but have been confined to bed all day long with a migraine (I’m not sure what one has to do with the other but go with it), I’m going to make a post of links. Because it’s fun. All links open in new windows.
Dine out at participating restaurants Tuesday, August [...]

You’d think the actors could, well, act

Posted by: sparklepants on: August 27, 2006

We’re watching the Emmy’s because we’re pulling for Grey’s Anatomy to win some things and also because we want West Wing to break its tie with Hill Street Blues’ for number of wins. Oh yeah, and there’s that little perk of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert (good evening, godless Sodomites!) and Girl In the Cafe [...]

No infections for a year!

Posted by: sparklepants on: August 26, 2006

Last night we couldn’t decide what to eat but eventually we decided to fix the last loaf of garlic bread we bought at the store earlier in the week. Best Friend didn’t like it because it tasted funny and I thought it tasted okay but yeah, a little strange. But I was hungry, so I [...]

Can’t. Lift. Head.

I was all energized for this morning’s trip to the gym. I was all ready for some working out. I even had my pop mix cd to keep me company. When I got there, someone was on the elliptical cross-trainer, so I got on the machine next to it, a thing that loosely resembled the [...]

Threat down

Posted by: sparklepants on: August 21, 2006

So after watching an episode of Joan of Arcadia and tucking the Best Friend into bed (whoever called, she’s okay! just asleep), I came back into the living room to have a nibble of Sara Lee cheesecake (mmm) and finish cleaning up Paul Anka’s tank. While I waited for his water to filter, I grabbed [...]

High coo

Thanks to Best Friend and Chris, from whose haiku wonderfulness I stole, here is a little Monday haiku.
Human poo is not
supposed to look like fried ok-

Golly gee willakers!

What ho! Some writing.
**
He loves fall light. He loves the long shadows it creates, loves the warm, golden tones highlighting the trees and houses in his neighborhood. He walks with his head down, his hands in his pockets, and wishes he could enjoy the perfect afternoon. It would be easier if she had died, he [...]

Um….

Does this sentence bother anyone else?
“I feel that once he recovers and understands what he has done he should commit suicide.”
