Growlin’ the Blues

Today I sent a care package to my sister in Afghanistan. The usual. Some solvent, a box of g-strings. A live monkey. It was weirdly depressing trying to write the address on the customs declaration while the kind postal worker asked tender questions. Or rather it was impossibly difficult to write while trying to fend [...]

DWJ For Prezzadint

In the Inman household we are reading Year of the Griffin by Diana Wynne Jones. I’m not quite DWJ for Prezzadint. Because I am out of tshirts. I think the characterization of the professors and administration is great in this book. The awful bureaucratic mess is captured so perfectly. And I agree with the critique [...]

A Biter

This is a dog who bites womenzzz ears. And then lounges upon the floor of the office. Among the 37 lbs of books. For Shame.

Holladay Cheer

Advice for Clingy Freaks

Dear Fran, I need some relationship/coping advice. This being the week of Thanksgiving, I am not at all thankful for the fact that I will not see my boyfriend for 4 entire days!!!

This Thanksgiving season, I will be concentrating my energies on the following: Writing a term paper about how men were depicted in Italian Renaissance Art and Buying [...]

SUV

I’m thinking of getting some kind of larger car like a truck or van or SUV so I can more easily lug my giant canvases from place to place. Plus, I can spend lots of extra money on gas. I think Snippet and Welly would enjoy off-road adventures such as this one. In a car [...]

Vacation

This weekend I went on a short trip to the Greek isles. I love Mykonos.

Sample Conversation Re: Same Planet?

Sample Conversation Re: Country

Stereo: plays Who I Am by Jessica Andrews Her: What do you think of this song? Me: I like it. It combines assertive self confidence with a honkytonk mentality. And- it speaks to the Proletarian.

A Wart

The Vet Student- aka “Her” informs me that this bubble in my left index finger is in fact a Wart. No, there’s no picture. You’ll have to track me down and check it out first hand. What does she know? I am not a dog. Although some would argue that I look like one. And [...]
