So, this has been happening off and on for a while, now, where I live. This bland, corporate, slightly Orwellian in tone sign was placed on the windshield of my car over a month ago and I have been seething ever since. Note the “Management” — like, WHO is the…

I was listening to this Cocteau Twins song earlier (hence, the title) and this lovely little “foxy” girl was bought by me at the suggestion of a dear friend on a girl’s spa get away weekend together. I remember her saying to me: “You HAVE to get this, it’s SO…

“Mommy’s alright, Daddy’s alright, they just seem a little weird”… So, the moment FINALLY arrived! A mugshot of the Orange Buffoon: Or, as the wonderfully wry and acerbic Keith Olbermann notes: “215 lbs?! Maybe in Celsius” ;) Now, here’s the thing: most of us have been waiting for this…
