Please don’t steal shoes from dead witches, because then someone will have to steal your shoes off your body three times, and that seems challenging.

Seriously, who could resist sparkly red shoes, right?  Even off a corpse?  OK, most people, probably. It’s a shame my scanner doesn’t really pick up glitter.  I didn’t even try … Continue reading

For my friend who couldn’t get into her car recently, and for me, and primarily for my parking spot neighbours who inevitably park like dicks.

Some New Year’s thoughts that are probably depressing, so you should probably go read something else instead. Probably.

Because the tendency to leap out of the way when someone else heads for the same chair as you is not what that game is about.

Y’all, there was a game of musical chairs at my work Christmas party that seemed likely to dissolve into bloodshed at any moment.  I was actually thrilled to be out … Continue reading

My wish is for a brawny manservant to whip my cheesecakes. Wait, that sounds weird.

Hi, everybody! (Hi, Doctor Nick!) I went to a super fun Browncoat holiday shindig last night, and then today I got up at the crack of ten and cleaned and … Continue reading
