Cat photography.

August 19, 2009

The latest Catster.com email newsletter — (I’ll just pause and let you get it out of your system before I go on) — contained a link to an article detailing the Top Five Tips for Photographing Your Cat. Though I rolled my eyes a bit, somewhat like when I see the magazine Cat Fancy and [...]

Poster child.

May 27, 2009

I was going through my photos on my computer tonight, trying to find a specific image. I came across some old photos, this being one of them (circa 2005 I think). This was from an Easter when we all went outside and did target shooting. We were very cautious and observed gun safety, which you [...]

The mocha shiznit.

May 12, 2009

The ridiculous movie “Malibu’s Most Wanted” had the unfortunate effect of injecting the ever-ridiculous word “shiznit” into my vocabulary. I use it as a joke since it ought not leave the mouth of such a very white person from the Northern Plains, though one summer, through joke abuse, my friend Sarah and I almost tragically [...]

Good lord. In my inbox I received an update from Catster.com. Check out “Creating a First Aid Kit for Your Cat.”
Let me make my own list:

Ace granules: This is a horse tranquilizer. Doing this wrong might mean the end of your cat, but generally cats don’t like a lot of manhandling particularly when injured, so [...]

Beating a dead horse: 25 Things.

February 10, 2009

Over on Facebook, nearly everyone in my friends list seems to have done the “25 Things You Didn’t Know About Me” meme, and have also tagged me to do the same.
Imagine my frustration.
1. I did it already.2. Pretty much.3. It may have been under a different name.4. Or even a different amount.5. But still.6. How [...]

Why I did not answer my phone.

January 7, 2009

“You could answer your phone once in a while,” Naomi said. I was sitting in my vehicle in the Target parking lot, having just called her back after viewing my missed calls list.
“There several reasons why I did not answer my phone!” I said emphatically, gearing up for a momentous debate. I love creating lists [...]

God help us.

December 29, 2008

Writers must choose their words carefully.
Do you want to be accurate or dramatic, for example?
In typically troll-baiting mode this evening (I spent the evening eating free lefsa and with a Pomeranian dog on my lap), I trundled on over to my favorite addiction and unloaded:
I try to save the dramatic “God Help Us” finale for [...]

A few things learned.

September 1, 2008

This weekend, over the course of the days and various activities, I learned a few things:
1. There is a fine line between being polite or inquisitive, and being nosy. However, once that line is crossed, the divide suddenly becomes screamingly clear. There are certain questions you don’t ask people in casual chatting conversation (particularly if [...]

Eight Lies I’ve Told Recently
(As if you haven’t done so, too.)

I care.
I don’t care.

Fried oreos.

July 28, 2008

I know there are some parts of the country where the answer to the great questions in life are “fry it.”
You may remember my experience with my friend Shannon and Oreos. While at the North Dakota State Fair last week for a concert, she insisted I try fried Oreos.
Fried Oreos.
Several things came to mind, which [...]
