ZOMG HERE I AM!! So as I said a while back, I've moved. The new house is teh super cute, but did you know that MOVING IS A PAIN IN THE ASS??!? I've spent the last 4+ weeks schlepping boxes, unpacking boxes, discovering that many of the boxes that got rained on contain wet books and clothes, fanning ...

Tonight is the first night in the new house--OUR new house--after a week of packing shit and schlepping it, one pickupload at a time, over here. Mostly in the rain. Not that I did any of it, mind. I was out of town all last week, so Mr. B did the honors. He had some help from his work buddies on Fri...

Hot damn. We'd all hoped that Obama would get some shit done, but what, we're two days into his administration and he's already stopped Guantanamo show trials, ordered Guantanamo closed, banned torture, ordered a full review of U.S. detention policies and procedures, repealed the Global Gag Rule, cl...

My frirend G.D. over at Postbourgie recommended reading Vanity Fair's Oral History of the Bush Administration, and boy howdy.

PART ONE I have spent ALL MORNING (and into the afternoon) trying to call a credit union to get a competing loan on this house nailed down. Busy signals (??!?), left voice mails (not returned), "out of office" messages, it never ends. Finally got them on the line--oh, she "assumed it was a refi" and...

1. This story, with photos (warning: bare ass), is supposedly funny but I admit that the only thing I could think after seeing the second picture was of how excruciating it had to have been to have to sound calm and cheerful to your kid in that situation: Man: No, no, honey, I'm okay, don't worry, s...

Chalk it up to the weekend? Anyway, we're now losing to both the Panda AND Jesus. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Vote, my minions! If you do, LeBlanc might just have something special cooked up for y'all soon....

Me: Shit, I have to cook dinner. Jesus. PK: Mama, why do you swear so much?Me: I dunno. I kind of swear a lot. PK: Maybe it goes along with being a professor of the English language. Me: ....PK: After all, they are words....

What does a bitch have to do to get you people to vote? That damn Panda blog is beating us.

And when you're done with the fluff--but VERY IMPORTANT fluff!--pick up the phone and call yo...
