An Exercise in Futility
A couple of months ago, I started a pretty ambitious art project: a partial portrait in beads. Then came the pain and the suffering and the apocalypse and so on. Continue reading

Thanks For That
My roommate and I pooled our cash, scrambled up the street to the 7-11 and grabbed everything we could afford that we thought would make an acceptable Thanksgivingy meal. With our combined eleven dollars, we got Minute Rice, carrots, some raisins, and Nutter Butters. Continue reading

Just Do It Like the Picture, OK?
What I want is a 1990s-style graduated bob. Short in back, long in front, with a good, strong angle. And I want the bottom third of the bob layered. No bangs, no fringe, and yes, I part it on the left. It was that way when I came in here, it’ll be that way when I walk out. Continue reading

Everyday I Hate Rachel Ray: Autumn Edition
The October edition of Everyday With Rachel Ray is out in all its autumnal glory -- there are Halloweeny pumpkins and spiders galore and pages are glowing with jewel shades of orange, orange, and more orange. The cheerfulness! It burns. Continue reading

Avatar and Disney: Regarding Pandorlando
Okay, just this once. On the singular occasion of the WalDisCo and James Cameron going abed, we'll allow Disney's theme parks division to be nakedly reactive. Continue reading

My So-Called Gluten-Free Life
Back in July, I embarked a month-long gluten-free experiment. Even though I’d been hemming and hawing and wondering if there really was life after waffles, it was actually not that hard to do; I simply tripled my grocery bill and forgot that I knew what good pizza tasted like. Continue reading

Disneyland dark rides, reviewed: The two-minute wonder envelope
Disneyland’s dark rides are the gold threads in the Park’s tapestry. hey are sealed worlds within Disneyland’s sealed world, and nothing of the outside world penetrates those painted scrims lit by backlight. You can’t even bring your own ego with you. Continue reading

The Tot Spot
If I had motivation, business acumen, fistfuls of startup cash, and stuff like that, I’d be a restaurateur. Not a super-duper schmancy one, or a nasty, egotistical one like those you see on TV, but simply a gal who makes some food and serves it up to people. One kind of food, in particular.

Breakfast in America
Nobody loves bacon. Nobody. Not a single person in this whole, wide world has listed bacon as a part of their breakfast of choice. I hope this means that the whole bacon phenom is over. Continue reading

A corndog machine of my very own
The other day I was checking out open-stock cookware at the local Fred Meyer and a lonely little corndog maker caught my eye. It was on the clearance shelf, hanging out with the mini doughnut bakers, the circus animal waffle makers, and the lime green hand mixers. Oh little corndog maker. Continue reading

Oh, beauty
Photo: vagueonthehow/Flickr I’ve gotten into a whole slew of conversations lately that have swung around pesky topics like self-esteem, standards of attractiveness, self-image, and all the weirdy swirling nebulous love/hate feelings that we all have towards ourselves, how we look, how we feel, why we are the way that we...

Productivity Plus
PJLEGO/FLICKR Through the course of my day, I’m subjected to a lot of doublespeaky lingo about maximizing workplace utility and drinking the Kool-Aid, err, Chicken Soup for the Corporate Soul, and all kinds of other nonsense about effective teambuilding/focused brainstorming/collective creativity. It's enough to make one's eyeballs bleed. My Bullshit-O-Meter... Continue reading

The Eight Stages of Heartbreak Pizza
Some people claim that cheese is their Prozac. I’m one of those people. I believe that cheese lifts downtrodden spirits. It comforts, cures, and calms. Cheese is the best friend a person can have and will never let you down. You can trust cheese. The absolute ultimate in therapeutic cheese-eating... Continue reading

Meet my Bread Nemesis
PHOTO: HALEY JOHNSON/FLICKR This is how my brain works: The restaurant I was at had a sandwich that looked pretty good – a seasonal, winterry offering full of hearty fillers - fuji apples, cinnamoned-up sweet potato slices, roasted beets, gruyere cheese, and probably a few other tasty things, too, and...
