1993: as near as i can figure, lobster dinners started christmas of my junior year of high school. the original guests included my parents and me. the menu has changed little since that first meal: lobster, baked potato, and a salad, although the salad dropped off in the early 2000′s because it just got in [...]

every time i see something about patrick swayze that doesn’t end with “passed away today” i am briefly filled with blinding rage. then regret. then supersadness. then more anger, because being sad doesn’t take away being mad. rinse repeat until i distract myself. it’s not that i don’t like him. it’s not that i wish [...]

ten years ago, when my father’s RA was at its worst and he thought it’d be “fun” to have a couple of heart attacks in the span of about 8 months, i started preparing myself for the fact that he might not make it to 60. eight months ago, due to a form-related fluke, they [...]

that if ever there was a game i could win/be better at than my husband by sheer innate ability alone it would be karaoke revolution. i mean honestly after years of years of him cleaning the floor with me on FPS and fighting games, even after i spend hours and hours trying to get competent [...]
