this news makes me sick. stories like this push me in the direction of wanting to leave this greedy misdirected nation behind in favor of one that actually puts its citizens first, INSTEAD of big business. i know great strides are made everyday to correct the wrongs of those who lead us down the wrong path in the past but this is just unacceptable. i agree with many of the other commenters who mentioned contacting local new agencies. this is exactly the kind of story that they would love to have and that people NEED to hear.
i will keep you and your plight in my thoughts. wishing you only the best.
Health Care Gone Terribly Wrong
I wanted to be clear-headed to write this post. I wanted it to be perfect because it is, I think, the most important post I've ever written. Instead, I'm a little foggy brained because my pain level is through the roof right now and I couldn't handle the pain without pain meds. I ask you, upfro...
my first instict when i heard the news was that it was a sick-joke, but when i realized it wasn't, i just felt sick. and then i cried a little. i thought he was a truly hilarious comic and, for that, we are all poorer for his loss.
the interview you linked to hits home in so many ways. it's kind of heartbreaking to read but, for the same reasons you mention in your post, i'm glad he put that out there because hopefully it can save the other Greg's out there from succumbing to the sickness of self-hate.
Greg Giraldo
Greg was a guy I knew from comedy. We hung out a few times, did a couple shows together. I was struck by his immense intelligence and good spirit. He died yesterday after an accidental prescription drug overdose. I’ve been upset about it since I found out: too many talented people die unnecessa...
i agree COMPLETELY. getting paid to write is awesome. i'd love to get paid to do what i love. instead i have a job that pays me but that i hate so im leaving it after "just" working there for 3 years. in turned out that no amount of money paid to me could entice me to stay. money isn't everything. it's a necessary evil, unfortch, but it certainly doesn't always afford you happiness or peace of mind. that shit's priceless.
Just Another Twit on Twitter?
Tina Fey, who I think is enormously talented and for whom I have a lot of respect, disappointed me with this quote on the Today Show: There has been a great deal of quarreling and infighting in the writing world in regards to what makes a "real writer" and if people who self-publish, blog, m...
oh girl...
im hoping that i can get past my crippling level of social-anxiety to approach/say hi/hug you because what you just wrote is THE EXACT SAME WAY i've been feeling about blogher. for like, WEEKS.
im shitting myself just writing about how nervous i am. ive never gone and i dont really know-know ANYONE. so im pretty sure im going to do numerous things to embarass myself so that i end up hiding behind potted plants the whole time to avoid anymore human contact.
just know, you're NOT alone.
as a matter of fact, SHOULD we meet we can discuss life in Jersey, orange kittens AND our freakishly low self-esteem, which, likely among some other things, we definitely have in common.
otherwise, ill just be hangin' with the ficus tree.
The Obligatory BlogHer10 Conference Freakout Post
So I'm going to the BlogHer10 conference. It's in NYC, so I really had no excuse, and it'll be more fun than a bag full of dirt squirrels. So anyway, everyone who is going (and if you're not going, I'm sorry for the influx of BlogHer10 posts. I remember 3 years ago when I didn't go, and I hated ...
1st - i LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE sunday daytime outfit? WHERE. DID. YOU. GETS? I WANTS ONE!!!
2nd - you have the longest, skinniest legs of ever and i want those too. you bitch.
i will probably look very "BLAH" throughout the whole conference. if you see a slumping blog of earth tones possibly wearing dark glasses then you've found me!

do penis stabbings count and if so does that mean i can still only stab/get stabbed once in a day? bc thats gonna be hell for business...
Everybody Should Be Allowed One Stabbing Per Day
Everybody should be allowed one stabbing per day. This would be great for our culture as a whole for a number of reasons. But before we get into those, I though I would lay down some ground rules and a little clarification. Just because you are allowed to stab somebody once a day doesn’t mean yo...
i don't have a baker's rack but i DO have a loft bed. my orange one likes to climb up there and sleep when i work from home. he's also managed to scratch up my walls in the process.
ps - one of the ONLY cookbooks i own is "how to boil water". i got that part down. it's the rest of it i still can't figure out.
Why I'm A Bit Busy These Days
OH. MY GOD.

because that would explain a LOT...
An Actual Occurrence: All I Wanted Was A Pan
WARNING: This story involves bodily fluids. So my darling girls were in for my birthday, and decided to make me a lasagna, so I could eat for a week. Best birthday present ever, right??? But when we went to the store, we forgot a pan. So as the ladies cooked, I went to the fancy grocery store t...
poor little stinker. you are a good mama.
The Story of Finn's Nightmare, As Told By Finn
hi, my name is finn. i like sleepin'. i'm very good at it. i sleep on mama usually. she doesn't mind. yep, that's me. right on her boobs, hahahahah. I'm kinda a mama's boy. if my mama is in the room, oh boy. i am right there. usually on her boobs. sometimes i sleep other places though....
the bangs are totes hot. don't sweat it.
Cleaning Up My Mess
I can't thank y'all enough for all the encouragement and love that the comments have been chock full of since my paranoia post. I know that my "content" has not been very "content-y" as of late, but honestly, if you had this going on in your home all the time, you would talk about kittens all th...
so. EFFING. cute.
i love his splotchy little nose and the side profile shot you took.
aDORAble.
The Trouble With Toby
I have a slight problem with my kitten Toby. The Tobe. Tobias Zachary Ziegler. He's healthy, he eats like there's no tomorrow, he's got more energy than a spider monkey on crack, there's just one teeny, tiny, itsy, bitsy problem. I keep losing him. He's SO FREAKING TINY, DUDES. I can't FIND ...
he's a TOTAL Beek.
and not in a good way.
as if there WERE a good way...
Alanis Morisette Marries Rapper Souleye
Yes, '90s children, forget that engagement to Ryan Reynolds and ancient fling with Full House actor Dave Coulier. Alanis Morrisette has moved on and gotten herself married to a tall, blue-eyed rapper named Souleye. Well, his name is actually Mario Treadway. Details, details. Alanis, 36,...
what's REALLY weird to me about this news is just this morning i was watching the "Saved By The Bell: The College Years WEDDING SPECIAL" where Zach & Kelly got married in Vegas.
now my question is, when did he marry this OTHER chick? bc it was pretty clear through watching the show that Zach & Kelly were 4-EVA.
Mark Paul Gosselaar Separates From Wife
Mark Paul Gosselaar, probably best known as Zack Morris from Saved By The Bell, has confirmed he recently separated from his wife of 14 years. It's always sad to hear of a fairly low-key and, by Hollywood standards, long marriage fall apart. It's double sad in my opinion when there are childre...
i just wanted to let you know that my blog almost succumbed to the lure of all cats all the time as well recently. when i got my little guy i had nothing but kitten on the brain. i mean, i still do, but i just have to try like EXTR-Y hard to provide "normal" content now.
as for kitten farts: HOLY HELL!!! i named my little monkey Scott but all i ever refer to him as is "Stinky" bc around the 3rd night we had him at home he stunk up our entire bed with his putrid farts. im talking some truly vile shit.
your "true" readers will always love and come back for more bc you are you and that = awesome.
the rest of 'em can suck it.
A Question of Dignity (Yeah, Right)
Y'all? I apologize. It's as if I had twins around here, all you get are baby photos and silly stories about kittens, and this used to be a blog with some freaking DIGNITY. The World: No it wasn't. Me: Quoi? The World: This blog never had dignity. Sometimes you're depressing, sure, but there wa...
schweinerhünd = weiner dog?
i only took 6 years of deutsch. i should know this shit, but i don't really.
speaking of weiner dogs...
Welcome to the Dollhouse, anyone?
i know Heather Matarazzo is still around but what about some of the other weirdos from that movie? namely Brendan Sexton, Jr., the kid who played Dawn Weiner's bully/almost rapist/love interest?
what ever happened to him?
Hey, Remember That Kid From That Movie-Story That Never Ended? [Where Are They Now?]
I read your comments and the overwhelming nomination from last week for my Where Are They Now series was Atreyu from the Neverending Story. That's Die unendliche Geschichte for our German readers. I live to give, folks. I live to give. Except there are limits, and that's all the German I k...
wow. your mailman is a dick. sounds to me like he owes you a blowjob for that level of snubbery...
a blowjob IS the most effective method of saying your sorry to an almost total stranger.
isn't it?
Work Out
I started exercising again after a long layoff, which made me think I should do some other things again that I haven’t being doing – like writing blog posts. As I’ve said before the reason I haven’t been blogging is because I’m trying to get my stupid book finished, and I don’t want to post what...
CRAZY you guys! before reading the comments i was all "well the only person i can really think of that i'd want to know what they look like now was that hot piece Atreyu..."
kid you not...
So, What Ever Happened to That Kid in That One Movie? [Where Are They Now?]
Hey, remember that kid that said "Redrum" a lot in 1980's family comedy, The Shining? What ever happened to him, anyway? Let's take a look, shall we? The character Danny Torrance in The Shining was played by Danny Lloyd, then six at the time of filming. He was reportedly chosen for the r...
my kitteh has ZERO interest in his bed. he loves OUR bed and our pillows and the ottoman. his bed? not so much. what kind of deal do i have to make with the devil to get him pay it any mind?

Common Sense is Back, Y'all
Common Sense: You didn't blog yesterday. Me: I know. CS: You have no excuse and you didn't blog. Me: I KNOW. CS: Shameful. Me: Dude, I had a vet appointment and lugged three cats, two carriers, and a freaking partridge in a geedee pear tree all over creation yesterday. CS: Boo. Hoo. Hoo. Me: ...
i basically took an entire week off from the internet when i got my kitten. you're getting 2 so i think sparse posting is completely excuseable. i agree with Bridget; would love to see the hair. enjoy your weekend and the little ones!
The Weekend Approacheth
OH MY BELOVED LITTLE SQUIRRELS!!!!!!!! This is THE weekend. This is the weekend of Mr.Monkeypants, and KITTENS GALORE! So if content is sparse till Monday, you'll forgive me, won't you, my darlinks? I SWEAR I'll at least put up kitty pics on Saturday and Sunday, if not a Lulu scribed letter of o...
dude.
hot is a total understatement when describing jordan catalano. id call it "smoldering raw sex in human form". i can remember taping (REMEMBER tapes?!) the "boiler room" episode and watching it over and over and over AND OVER AGAIN wishing that my highschool crush would use me and then deny the existance of our relationship in public in a similar fashion. oh wait, that DID happen.
ahhhhh, youth... so totally fucked up.
MSCL still is, and always will be, one of my most favorite things that television ever produced.
that was a magical time...
Flashback Friday - My So-Called Life
Continuing with last week's theme of misanthropic teen entertainment for the early 90s Gen-X/Millennial set, this week is brought to you by flannel and—*drool*—sexy, stupid Jordan Catalano. When My So-Called Life first aired, I was about the same age as Angela Chase, and to this day I can't...
how awesome are they! congrats on the new additions! ps - finn looks quite a bit like my scott. i got him from a shelter in Trenton called Animals in Distress. he turned 10 weeks yesterday and although he can be a crazy little rascal i really couldn't love him more.
The Kentucky Boys
I always assumed that the boys (Finn and Toby) were local rescues, but Nay! I was wrong! Apparently the local rescues get snatched up right quick, and since it's not quite "kitten season" locally, my wonderful rescue Cause 4 Paws went out of state to find kill shelters to rescue beebees from who...

Meet Tobias
Sorry for the crap quality of this one He's a squirmy little man. So tomorrow Toby and Finn will be introduced to each other and grow big and strong together before they come home in a few weeks. Toby's only one pound! They need to be 2 pounds and neutered, and then they'll come home and be ...
