too many bunny butts

yesterday i bought a bag of animal crackers from the vending machine, and i’ve been munching on them in waves since then. i was disappointed at how many of the pieces were broken. there were very very few whole-animals in the first 2/3 of the bag. i also noticed that there was an [...]

we went to schnucks today (cuz hans said propel was on sale) and guess what we found?!
PITCH BLACK IS BACK!!!
and it’s sour(er)…ish. i didn’t even know it was ever going to come back ever, but it has and it’s still oh-so-tasty. i stopped in the middle of the aisle and just stared and [...]

Sense and Sensibility
Princess Bride
Moulin Rouge

there’s been some talk amongst friends late about what makes a movie a favorite, and after i compiled my list of “current” favorite movies, i got all nostalgic for the flicks i used to love, but moved beyond as i/they aged. so here they are, starting from earliest memories and progressing [...]

we have official confirmation from the podiatrist that i’m a freak.
well, okay, that’s probably a bit harsh. i visited my podiatrist for the first time last night and discovered that one leg is longer than the other. Based on generally observable phenomenon (such as which ankle is more warped, which shoulder is slightly [...]

i made a new blog tonight. it’s not gonna take the place of this one or anything. it’s for non-non-fiction writing. there’s a sticky link on the side of this blog, which you may have noticed already, but in case you don’t. this is your official notice.
