I'm talking with a nurse in California, who has administered cannabis to patients - since pot is legal in a few states, and medical marijuana is legal in some states, I'm trying to get the skinny on what exactly people need to go through to get "medically certified" to administer marijuana to sick patients. Basically,…

Fantastic score

I got paid for 2 stories I submitted about 6 weeks ago. Usually, I have a drink of decent scotch for every paycheck I get from freelance. Now, with an empty bottle of scotch, I ended up buying a bottle of Arran scotch.

Breast up - rack on the bottom of a roasting pan, and placed about 1/3rd to the bottom of the oven.

Cliched, but still needs to be said: "Up the Irons!"

Beck in 2020: "Community Service and He's Still The Mack"

Early birthday shoutout. Happy Birthday!

Indeed. Happy Birthday!

And yeah, by firing him, he would pretty much eliminate one of the most conservative fuckwads from Washington. But I"m guessing all that racist Keebler elf would have to do is ask for his job back in the Senate, and he would get it.

Yeah, I'd like to add a 'fuck' amendment to any of my LGBT friends (not coincidentally, the ones who are well-to-do) who say "Well, yeah, but the stock market has really gone up" since he was elected - these are the same people who weren't paying attention to how much the stock market went up under Obama - and who…

Hoping the best for your mom - and your entire family, Jose.

Channel Orange is such a great piece of work.

Finally started to get to work on a story that I eventually hope to pitch to either Mother Jones or The Atlantic.

Have trouble narrowing down the good elements of this list, but Low, Cocteau Twins, and Siouxsie and the Banshees are way up at the top.

Oh, this is too easy - a big "Fuck You" to Donald Trump for barring transgender servicemen and servicewomen from serving. But also a big "fuck you" to the LGBT community who supported Trump (my boyfriend was one of them). I constantly heard "Well, yeah, he has a lot of drawbacks, but personally, I know he has no…

I have about 25,000 songs on my shuffle, but ever time I hear the opening riff of "Los Angeles" - I can't help but grin uncontrollably.

I have a job interview for a company in California, so…hooray? Taking Friday off for that - in addition to hopefully finally catching Wonder Woman on the big screen.

Did Thomas Keller's roasted chicken recipe. Ridiculously easy - but like most of Thomas Keller's stuff - everything has to be just "so." Meaning, the only ingredients are the bird, salt, and pepper. Pat chicken down - inside and out - season inside and out with salt and pepper. Truss the chicken. Preheat oven to 425.…

Oh yeah, citing "tremendous healthcare costs" is about one of the most bullshit reasons you could ever come up with.
