The Fattening, Part 32
November 26th, 2008

It’s cooking time around here. What started out as an intimate dinner for six has burgeoned (I don’t like that word) into a multi-course feast for twelve. I have been errand running, cleaning and grocery buying until hell won’t have it, most of which has turned out to be useless seeing as how the crowd […]

November 10th, 2008

So a few nights ago, I dreamed that I had a monstrous monobrow…the crazy scientist kind with antennae sproinging off in all directions, like any second now they’ll weave a cocoon and metamorphose, like I should have detachable big nose and glasses to match and chew a cigar. I suspect it was because I was […]

So good I had to go to Miette

Beulah Voted

What a day! What a day for America! For the first time in eight very long discouraging years, I’m both proud and humbled to be an American. And yes, I know how mawkish and sentimental that sounds, and I don’t care. Everywhere, people were excited, out en masse with their sparkly I Voted stickers, […]
