I am sorry there was no post this morning. I think many of you can understand why. I watched the returns last night, my heart sinking further and further as the night went on. I went to bed before the official declaration, but I knew by the time I tried to sleep, what the result… Continue Reading
All right, folks. I have a holiday (election) poem for you. Strap it up. We’re doing this! A Visit from President Obama Twas the night before elections, and all through the house, Everyone was panicking, causing me to grouse; I had my laptop on my lap, typing with speed, Hoping that America wouldn’t be consumed… Continue Reading
I saw a post recently from a mother chastising people with pets for calling themselves parents. She felt offended by it, but didn’t want to say anything in person because she felt that would be rude. In the piece, however, she had no problem being condescending, saying it’s fine that people choose to be childfree… Continue Reading
I found out today that a Twitter peep of mine has died after a long battle with cancer. I was caught off-guard because the last time I talked to her, she was doing better.

Hey, melee players, fuck you. I’m kidding, of course, but you’ll pardon me from being a little salty at how much shit casters get, especially from the Souls community. I would like to say up front that I know the Souls games are made to be played as a melee character, and I’ve bitched more… Continue Reading
The first debate was tonight, and I made myself ghost on social media as it was happening because I just. don’t. care. Mind you, it’s not that I don’t care about the election or the fact that the Orange Cheeto might be president, something that continues to bamboozle my little brain, but I’m tired of… Continue Reading
