Driving home, America and I saw a big blue flash right next to highway 580 where Emeryville meets Berkeley. It was low to the ground, greenish blue, and most definitely not lightning (even though it’s pouring rain out right now and has been all day). We watched for several more minutes but there were no […]

Just had to share today’s vocab word:
(from Wordsmith)
Procrustean (pro-KRUS-tee-uhn) adjective
Producing conformity using harsh means.
[After Procrustes, a giant in Greek mythology, who stretched or cut his victims to make them fit his bed.]
“Why don’t you go on a diet, dear, instead of throwing this dress away,’ the old Mr. Parsimoni gave his wife the procrustean […]
I can’t believe what I found on top of the fridge, back behind the napkin stack this weekend (click here to see). It’s not exactly even expired yet, though its sell-by date is in late October. I feel I should make a celebratory pesto in honor of the days when I didn’t need an elevator, […]
I am not wearing any underwear as I write this. I wish it were just my being a sexy thang, but the truth is that they’re all downstairs in my apartment complex’s three dryers. Every pair of boxers I own. Three days ago I already resorted to the rogue pair of tighty-whitey briefs bunched up […]
Is someone special in your life into horses? This year, rather than the same old horse calendar, give her (or him) an unforgettable gift of horseballs.
Check out this spam. It promises a natural alternative to Cipro and other antibiotics used to treat Anthrax infections. Because of course you know that the cure is probably growing out of the cracks in your driveway, but the government and pharmaceutical giants want to hide it from you because it’s more profitable for them […]
Lucasfilm and Apple released a short “teaser” trailer for Episode II, Attack of the Clones, several weeks ago. A new, longer trailer is now up on starwars.com, but don’t get all excited. You must have the DVD of Episode I, The Phantom Menace in your computer’s drive in order to download and view the new […]
What do you make of this?
Oh, and by the way, I have uploaded one of those nifty IE bookmark icons (if employing this browser feature is against God, Linux, or your mother’s honor, please let me know). I don’t do much visual art but this is one enitrely original, pixel-by-pixel work that I am proud […]
All right, Preshcat!, I’m going! If this film is enough to make you break your endless silence, I’ll go see it. That’s the beauty of living within walking distance of a movie theater / movie theaters / six-goddamn-picture-houses-fer-chrissake. I can pop out after I’ve done the dishes and before I go to bed and take […]
