My guts redux
2010-06-01 02:03:00 So I finally had the hernia repair in November. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how long that repair actually held? Anyone? No? February, People. Just…..February.

Just a thin layer of skin between you and my guts.
2009-10-07 20:07:00 Scout’s Honor is poking at me and telling me to blog. This is after she viciously rick rolled me yesterday without remorse. Hrrmmppphh. I’m still recovering.

The case of the homicidal garbage can and the ninja
2009-09-24 19:30:00 Hey! I was just talking about you yesterday afternoon! I was talking about how I hadn’t been blogging.

Everytime I?ve sat down to write?.
2009-09-09 21:10:00 So much time has passed that every time I’ve sat down to write, I felt like I needed to catch you up on everything and the thought of doing that was overwhelming. So I’d get up and walk away and tell myself I’d do it later, and somehow six whole months slipped by. Geez. How’d ... More About: Write , Blogs

Alright, whose jackin? my chickens?!
2009-07-08 22:54:00 I am no longer hip. No wait, I’m even less than hip, I’ve totally screwed the pooch on my hipness. I even messed up Boom Boom Pow.

Why are cat testicles bringing people to my blog?
2009-03-02 03:26:00 Anyone? Anyone? While perusing my search engine terms that brought traffic to my blog this week, I am again reminded of the seedy underbelly of the internet.
