Quick! Someone send this to Regretsy!

Aw, you're adorable! Where'd you come from?

Am I going to drive 20 miles to go get a French dip sandwich because I am craving one?

Seriously made me lol. I understand completely.

So, I just had the following conversation with myself: "That leftover pizza sounds good for dinner. Microwaves make it soggy, so I'll put it in the toaster oven. But wait, I can't put more than one slice in the toaster oven at the same time, it's not big enough. Dammit. I wish there was such a thing as a bigger…

There's always some part of me that's glad when these expeditions come back without having found Earhart's plane. When I was a little girl, Earhart was my hero and I'd act out elaborate fantasies in the backyard about getting stranded on a deserted island and finding the Electra (and sometimes Earhart herself, through…

Yep I've noticed that too. They don't want any babies, but they don't want anything to mess with their swimmers either. I harbor this suspicion that even if there was a safe, reliable, affordable male birth control pill, most dudes wouldn't take advantage of it because there's this ridiculous idea out there that birth…

I watched the first episode on Netflix. Hadn't seen it since it was new (my ten year old self was was a huge X-Files fan when it first came out). Did it just look bizarrely...old to you? The cars, the clothes, etc? I was struck with how dated certain things looked. Although the episodes themselves are still awesome.…

Totally. My mom used to rock that look back in those days. Everyone knew you backed the fuck up off a woman wearing enormous shoulder pads.

That is fantastic. I hope your husband can do that patented Fox Moulder glum/pouty look.

Not to mention her awesome "I'm-wearing-a-blazer-with-shoulderpads-because-the-90's" look.

"Neck crust" makes me want to flail my hands and do a little gross-out dance.

I love how the kitten starts to get interested in the puppy's *ahem* nether regions, so the puppy closes its legs like, "Dude, no. That ain't no teat."

True. And the truth of the thing is, there's nothing particularly glamorous or adventurous in it. Most people, if they had half a brain in their heads, would realize pretty quickly that that sort of life really isn't rewarding or fun or whatever they thought it was going to be. You move so often that you can't take…

I used to love beat lit, including everything Kerouac ever wrote. Of course, I was 20. And secretly terrified that I'd end up in the staid, dull suburban routine that my parents had been locked in my entire life. When I graduated from college, I lived the "beat experience" (for lack of a better, less pretentious term)…

In no way do I want to defend Ayn Rand's philosophy, because I think it is insane, but she did not believe altruism was a terrible thing. She just believed that it should be self-directed, as in, if an individual chooses to donate money to a charity, that's fine, because it was the individual's choice. What she had a…

Even the Dewey Decimal system agrees. Rand is shelved firmly in the FICTION section, which is damn well where she belongs.

I encourage you to offer your volunteering services! Seriously. Usually libraries are in pretty desperate need of volunteers, especially in the children's department. And don't worry about your age - many of the volunteers at my library are over 70. Libraries love younger volunteers because you're still physically…

I'm the head of adult circulation, and that job is a little different from library to library. I oversee all the circulation functions for the adult department, I do the adult programming and I do special projects (usually funded by grants, which I apply for). I also get to shush people, which is fun. Most days I…

I'm a survivor of my 2004 Harry Potter Summer of Fanfic Extravaganza. But only barely.
