bummer
Wisconsin, you’re disappointing the hell out of me. We were doing so well. What the fuck? Read.

BOILED
Our water softener hasn’t worked in years (I am that lazy) so quite a lot of minerals build up on the bottom and sides of our electric kettle in just three or four days. I clean it out by adding about a cup of vinegar to a liter of water and bringing it to a… Read.

gobbled
One of the cats was scratching and crying at my bedroom door at three-thirty this morning, disturbing what was one of the few decent night’s sleep I’ve had this week, so I slithered out of bed and across the floor, extruded an oily tentacle thin enough to easily slide under the door and snag one… Read.

buzzed
I’ve just given myself the third haircut I’ve had this year, the second one I’ve gotten at home, and the first one I’ve given myself. I got the first one some time toward the end of February – don’t remember exactly when [Edit: It was January 11th.] but it was before we went on vacation… Read.

no room at the inn
My Android camera phone automatically uploads all the photos I take to my Google account, or that’s how I have it set up. Sometimes it does, sometimes I have to give it a swat on its backside to remind it to back up the photos. I don’t know why it hesitates and I can’t be… Read.

thelma and louise
I watched “Thelma and Louise” for the first time last night. No, I don’t know why I waited so long. Sometimes I just never get around to seeing a movie while it’s in theaters and keep putting off when it’s the most popular rental, and then it sort of fades into the background and I… Read.

how to deduce your religion
Can relate. “If I’m being honest, I don’t know anything about my own religion. I wasn’t raised religious. I had to deduce that shit for myself. So: I’m one of five kids; my parents are filled with anger and guilt. You put those two symptoms in google, you’re Catholic. I tell people I’m Catholic but,… Read.

drenched
There wasn’t enough rainfall in August to speak of, but September seems to be more than determined to make up for it. It’s been raining for 5 days straight. Maybe 6. The days are blurring together, but I’m pretty sure rain started falling on Monday and although there have been pauses here and there, the… Read.

wtf
Well this is not good … DHS reported 1,547 positives cases in Wisconsin today. Almost one-third of those (482) were in Dane County, and 395 of the Dane County positives came from the UW-Madison. Open the university, Tommy Thompson said. Great idea, Tommy. Nice going. Good job. (The tip of today’s spike is only at… Read.

cooling off
We passed a seasonal milestone today: the first day after summer when we used the furnace. It’s been cool and rainy for the last 2-3 days, but this morning was so chilly that even My Darling B could not wear enough layers to keep warm, so she switched on the furnace. It obliged her by… Read.
