I HATE MYSELF FOR LAUGHING AT THISI do. I really, really, really do. It's a clip of a murder suspect (spoiler: he did it) getting interrogated by the police. However, I keep watching this because it makes me laugh. *Look, I know I'm wrong for laughing at it. And you know I'm wrong for laughing at it. And now I know that you know that I know that you know I'm wrong for laughing at it. And I agree

Ok, millennials. If we #FreeBritney will you kindly SHUT UP about it?I don't mean to sound insensitive about Britney's plight, but let's have a little perspective here. Britney Spears is an obscenely wealthy white celebrity living in Malibu, not a political prisoner sleeping on the dirt floor of a Belarusian detention center.Pictured: not Britney SpearsOkay, I know I've ripped on Britney a lot in

 IT'S DURAN DURAN DAY, BITCHES!!!I actually had another post written but I'm going to shelve it for a few days because how could I NOT commemorate this? I'm really digging the new album so far. The new single "Anniversary" kicks ass. And the video? FABULOUS.Some thoughts....Nick still rules.Love the bit with the young Duran Duran cover band.It's nice to see Roger prominently featured (and smiling

NOTE: This post has been a long time coming, obviously. I started to write it months ago, then had to put it aside because everything was too raw and painful. I was only recently able to come back and revisit it. I still feel like it's rough and unfinished, but such is life. Here's my long overdue tribute to the girls.ALICE JANE Alicecame to me in Minneapolis when she was a year old. Her first

    TALES FROM SUBURBIAPT. 1: GOBBLEDI appreciate these little traditions that seem to be a thing around our subdivision. Last week, for instance, I got gobbled. No you pre-verts, not that kind of gobbled. I'm talking about this:Apparently "gobbling" is the Thanksgiving practice of leaving a treat bag on a neighbor's doorstep with a sign and note asking them to anonymously pay it forward and do

AND TAKE YOUR WHORE* WITH YOU!*Oh simmer down folks, I'm talking about Pence!And speaking of bitches down on their knees for Dear Leader....I've watched the above video approximately 75 times over the last few days, and it's still just as funny as the first time I clapped eyes on it. Here's a link in case the new Blogger format fucks with the embed. I have much, much more to say about the blessed

"That you are here, that life exists....that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse."Well it seems 2020 has turned me into one of those weepy middle-aged fraus who are perpetually hand-wringing over relatives and friends who are sick, dying, or deceased, but in the words of Hard Harry, SO BE IT.  Two days ago I got word that Mr. Duane Verkamp--my favorite teacher from my beloved

"All hands on deck at dawn, sailing to sadder shores...."On August 28th my brother-in-law Roger (my sister's husband) passed away from colon cancer at the age of 47. He was just diagnosed in June, so it took him pretty quickly. Despite the giant COVID tornado down here in Texas, I ended up flying to Indianapolis so I could be there for his wake and funeral. In the end I was glad I went. Sometimes
