For the last 3 days, I have been eating like it’s a holiday. What I mean is that I am looking forward to leftovers after the big meal. Kim makes the *best* pulled pork BBQ, and with cole slaw on top, potato salad (with bacon!) on the side. Â I have been eating until I [...]
Today Kimbuhley is chewing very slowly the small bites of crow she is forced to eat. I took the dusty-but-trusty Civic in to the dealership to have the 80k mile service and an oil change. It’s a bit past 80k, but who’s counting? I was near certain that this time I would need a brake [...]
I had Kimber-made baked ziti for dinner, and homemade – homemade! Cinnamon rolls just this minute. That’s right. Did you KNOW that cinnamon rolls don’t always come from a tube? I was not aware. They taste like a slice of fried gold. But softer, and not fried. The brownie/cookies below were awesome too. Dis girl [...]
I took a little break from answering complimentary emails about my new shoes to sign in here and report the latest news about my brakes. The car has over 76,000 miles on it and the front brake pads are down to 20-25% and the rears are still at 70%. Yes, the SAME brakes that came [...]
Well…at least it’s a link, right? I have to agree though that this blog is quite interesting. But I didn’t come here and take over a post’s worth of Amisha’s blog just to send you to the google translation of someone in some other country linking here in another language (The untranslated page is quite [...]
A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.

Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
One should always be drunk. That's all that matters; that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden; one which breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without cease.
But with what? With wine, poetry, or virtue as you choose. But get drunk.
And if, at some time, on steps of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking and the drunkenness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, the stars, the clock, all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which sings, all that which speaks, ask them, what time it is; and the wind, the wave, the stars, the birds, and the clock, they will all reply:
"It is time to get drunk!
So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk, get drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, poetry, or virtue, as you choose!"
Charles Baudelaire
