Kick Monday’s Ass: double-checking… still not cool to set things on fire? (April 25, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I am so ready to get out of this place. I’m already stressing about writing the review for this Airbnb because I’m the first one to stay here and I know the property manager really tried. They were responsive, solved problems, and generally pleasant to interact with. The challenge…
Read Morewhat do you meme?
Ever notice how meme-able Nicolas Cage is? Yesterday I played hooky. I went and saw The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, starring the one and only Nic Cage. If you’re wondering if you should see it, the answer is yes. He and Pedro Pascal had incredible chemistry in this weird buddy comedy/spy movie/action-adventure saga with…

It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… This weekend the world lost someone pretty wonderful, my friend Mary Gilkerson. We haven’t been friends very long in the scheme of things, but even that brief window was enough to let me know I’d found a kindred spirit… someone I aspire to be like if and when I…

It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… Ever have one of “those” weeks? I think you know what I’m talking about… everything that could go wrong, does, and does it all at roughly the same time? That was my week last week. It also happened to be the first vacation week I’ve taken in years (much…
Read MoreAngie and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad vacation
First, a disclaimer: Indulge me in a little “woe is me” melodrama here. I know there’s a lot worse in the world than what I went through this week, and that I’m incredibly fortunate in the grand scheme of things. And I’m also allowed to have a fucking bad week, so I make no apologies…
