Did make it to the top of Goodreads' " Chick Lit for the Misfit Girl. So a couple weeks back I was sick. How sick was I? Sour cream and onion flavored Pringles. Now keep in mind, this...

A bit of this, that and a platypus. Friday, August 21, 2015. Driving Under the Influence. I hope your weeks have been more fantastic than the thought of Swan Lake. Performed by tu-tu clad mice! Well, they weren't kidding about the heat in Arizona. We had two consecutive days that were 115 degrees and I swear I could have grilled chicken on the pavement in front of our building. Overall, however, I seem to be surviving the heat and the weird weather. Point in case, let's take my trip to the grocery store ...

A bit of this, that and a platypus. Friday, July 24, 2015. I hope your weeks have been more fantastic than the thought of a thousand free-range lemmings synchronized diving to Queen's Don't Stop Me Now. The picture to the right is what my apartment currently looks like. So the next time I post, if everything goes according to plan, I will be posting from Arizona. Of course for that to happen I need to get everything I own into the back of a truck and then somehow convince my two agoraphobic cats that...

I hope your weeks were more fabulous than the thought of Star Wars' Princess Leia as a "Disney Princess." (It's a thought that makes me chuckle every time.). Well, I did it! After 1,400 miles, 26 hours on the road and an unfathomable amount of terrible gas station coffee, I made it to Arizona! My View for 99% of the Trip. Not an Accurate Representation of This Trip. I had made a small area i...

Hello all, I hope your weeks have been more fantastic than the thought of playing on a life size Monopoly board (come on, admit it, it would be fun). Well, this past week I happened to post a video on my Facebook page. For context, and because it is an excellent piece, here is the video:. Come on, what's the big deal? Asks the white frat-boy dressed at Halloween as a Muslim wearing a turban wi...

I hope everyone has had a week that is better than the thought of wombats synchronized swimming to Ballroom Blitz. Alright, so I am just going to get this out of the way. As a resident Spokanite I should probably say a few things about this whole Rachel Dolezal. Thing, mostly because non-Spokanites won't stop asking me about it. No seriously, scroll down, it's the post right below this one. 3 Spo...

A bit of this, that and a platypus. Friday, May 22, 2015. I hope your weeks have been better than the thought of a party hosted by intelligent pelicans. It is no mystery that I have worked a plethora of interesting jobs. From stable hand to Japanese language tutor, my jobs have not been in the sphere of 9 to 5 normality. Now, before I get a ton of comments saying, "But women's equality has come so far! You can't seriously think your gender matters in modern jobs! I'm a salesman.". For those of you who ne...
