  • Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…

  • Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…

  • My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half.  Prior to this  med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years.  And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

  • Broken, The Internet Is

    Broken, The Internet Is

    So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…

  • A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies.  It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead.  I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that.  What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically.  Yes,  yesterday I was…

  • Your Viewing Pleasure – Guy on a Buffalo

    Your Viewing Pleasure – Guy on a Buffalo

    Your Viewing Pleasure is where I share my favorite YouTube vids.  This one is no exception. Apparently there’s this old movie about a guy riding on a buffalo and some genius decided to add a song track on top of the video.  What emerges is classic. One day…the guy on the buffalo was riding around…

  • Screw You Credit Card Nation

    Screw You Credit Card Nation

    It seems like every time I go anywhere these days I’m offered a $%&*@ credit card.  Do you know how this enrages me?! It does! I want to have a normal enjoyable shopping experience but when it comes time to check out, you have to basically fight off the cashier trying to shove a store credit…

  • Braggadocious! Introducing: The Blog Brag

    Braggadocious! Introducing: The Blog Brag

    Has it ever occurred to you how braggy songs can be?  In particular hip hop songs are pretty damn braggy.  It makes me laugh cause when you hear a braggy, pompous, I’m awesome, Eat my #@$% song you’re all pumped up and like…HELL YEA!!!  PREACH!! You da Man!  And you don’t mind the bragging at…

  • Raw Emotion – Publishing Angst

    So, I’m really excited right now.  I turned my novel over to my editor for the second time and I feel like I’m getting really close now.  She thinks she’ll have it for 2 weeks at the most and then it’ll come back to me for final, final polishing edits and then, gulp, formatting for…

  • The Breakup – Exposed

    This is another one of my “scenes” or slices of life.  It’s not related to my novel and is fiction.  I think the idea came to me because I feel like there are so many girls out there who have no self-confidence, who have no self-worth and no matter how hard they try they can’t…

  • This Season of USA is Lit!

    This Season of USA is Lit!

    These writers on this season of the USA are doing a bang up job keeping us on the edge of our seats! Let’s just hope they’re not like the writers for LOST! Buckle up for some existential rambling DREAD below! (Don’t worry, it’s…

  • The Happy Forgotten Place Where Plastic Lives: The Landfill

    The Happy Forgotten Place Where Plastic Lives: The Landfill

    Remember that place the so-called Landfill? I know you’re like…”What? No? What place? I don’t recall anything like that.” (All said while avoiding eye contact). Well, I’m here to point your attention in the direction of your local landfill, filled not with LAND…

  • This is Why We’re All Overweight

    This is Why We’re All Overweight

    I’ve done a little thinking on the topic and I’ve come up with several reason why we’re all overweight and continue to gain the old lbs. The equation looks something like this: unhappiness + depression + meaninglessness + boredom + our modern culture…

  • Germ-O-Phobe

    Germ-O-Phobe

    I’m a certified Germ-o-phobe and I will proclaim and admit all you like.  What I’ve realized recently about being a Germ-o is that it’s not really about the germs at all, it’s about my brain. I have to be a Germ-o to satisfy my brain, to basically convince my brain to keep quiet and stay…

  • World of Horrors! (Pre-technology)

    World of Horrors! (Pre-technology)

    Did you know that approximately 15 to 20 years ago we didn’t have the technology that we have today? Is it stupid to ask that question? (A: YES!) I feel like I was born at a unique time in modern history because I lived without technology and now I’ve evolved as technology has evolved. For all you youngsters…

  • Turn Noun for Bacon

    Turn Noun for Bacon

    We’re trying out a little experiment for a friend of mine, Jessie of Jessie Janelle Reyna, called Turn Noun For What.  It’s basically where a bunch of bloggers create a blog post on command about a certain noun.  Today’s word bomb of the day, children, is: Bacon. What can one really say about Bacon?  It’s…

  • My Short Term Memory is Shot

    My Short Term Memory is Shot

    Lately, my short term memory has been failing at life. It’s taken a nice long vacation and has not returned. It’s getting scary you guys. I used to be so on top of things and now I’m a sad shell of the woman I used to be. Guys, thoughts will appear and then they disappear…

  • The “Feeling Hellish” Fairy

    The “Feeling Hellish” Fairy

    I was driving home from work the other day when I started thinking about how shitty I’ve been feeling lately.  And whenever I think about how shitty I feel, I think about how I want to “gift” that shitty feeling onto someone else. Like, here ya go, feel how I’m feeling.  How does that terrible…

  • Small Cat Diary

    Small Cat Diary

    Mr. VS and I have been watching a show on Netflix entitled Big Cat Diary. It’s a BBC show with a few Brits who travel to Africa and film big cats doing their thang. I.e. hunting, killing shit, having adorbs kittens/cubs, murdering gazelles, fighting among themselves etc. It’s pretty good.  But it makes me want…
