sorry, my roots are showing

By me • Jun 21st, 2008 • Category: Detroit, Michigan, nablopomo, today's blog 365 post

West Michigan is a very Dutch area. Between the city of Holland and Calvin College the area is just saturated with a bunch of blonde-haired, blue-eyed, CRC individuals. And most of them are very proud of their Dutch heritage, embracing every stereotypical aspect of it - participating in the street scrubbing at the Tulip Time [...]



it’s been fun

By me • Nov 30th, 2007 • Category: nablopomo

Friday is my day off. No class. No work. It’s the one day of the week I try to get stuff done around the apartment. I clean, run errands, do laundry, etc… You know, so that it at least looks like a reasonably well functioning adult lives here. But this month, thanks to NaBloPoMo, Fridays [...]

Last week I saw this video on YouTube.

You now how if you watch one video similar ones will show up at the end of it? Well, this one is apparently very similar to Foster’s latest video. I jokingly sent it around, saying that Marty is kinky enough that he would probably love it.

It’s late, I just got off an 8 hour shift at the library, and I have to be back in at 9 a.m. for another one so please excuse the brevity. Tonight’s post is nothing more than some captions I made up to go along with some pictures I stole off Nana’s camera of [...]

Any guesses as to whose orange ass that may be?



unexpected results

By me • Nov 25th, 2007 • Category: cats, nablopomo

So last week I was sitting at work when the book The Cat I.Q. Test came across my desk. Being a sad crazy cat lady of course I had to take it out. If for no other reason to confirm the fact that Harvey is qualified to become the first feline president of Harvard and [...]



it’ beginning to look a lot like Christmas

By me • Nov 24th, 2007 • Category: cats, holidays, nablopomo

 I have a confession to make.
I am one of those people that loves holiday decorations. Outwardly I may complain that the stores have the santas next to witches in September, but that’s just because everyone else does and sometimes I have this horrible need to fit in. Secretly I am completely and totally pysched. [...]
