We all read these from approximately ages 8 to 11, right? Okay. I just found my collection of Little House books and started reading some of them again. Whoa, guys! I knew it was gonna be weird and it did not disappoint! Let’s begin. The blackface scene, obviously. Anytime Ma is like “the only good […]
If you follow me on the onlines at all, you may have seen me crowing about getting a new job recently. Hooray for me! I have been job-searching FOREVER and very soon I will be at a new place, making more money. It’s the American dream and I’m proud of myself. I’ve been working at my […]
Live alone on an island for the rest of my life Make myself a cocoon, but then just never come out of it Get into a car accident bad enough to put me in the hospital for a week or so Find out that one or both of my parents are not actually my real […]

Hello, everyone. I have had a cold since roughly Friday night last week. It has been glorious. I love getting sick. Obviously I don’t mean “vomiting-all-night” sick or “can’t-sit-up-without-getting-dizzy” sick or “someone please take me to the hospital RIGHT NOW” sick, but just the kind where you feel pleasantly weak and sleepy, and you need […]
When JD and I moved into our current Lincoln Square apartment a few years ago, one of the first places we went to eat out was this little fast-casual type restaurant called Pockets.

I am a chronic job-hunter, in good times and in bad. Today I’m going to share with you the most hilariously BAD advertisement for a copywriter that I have ever seen, and break it down line by line. Because what else are weekends for? I blacked out the name of the company to protect the guilty, […]
