As it turns out, Pomodoro works really well when you turn it on.
The Maggards Go To Mexico
Me: How are we going to find each other at the resort?
Me: How about animal calls?
Me: CACAW! CACAW!

The Plot Thickens....
…in my ongoing battle with the greedy, inhuman owners of my rental unit, re: necessary repairs they refuse to make. Repairs, I should note, which have been demanded by the City of Fort Collins for three months now, and the neglect of which will soon land the owners in court.
ANYWAY.
My property management company is so fed up with said owners that they’ve severed business ties with...

For someone good looking, you can be kind of dumb. How is it possible that you don’t know how much I admire you? I’m giving you an eCard so you’ll understand how extraordinary you are to me. Tell me know what you think. It is from my heart. “There’ll be plenty here without you, if you like it. My own, own darling, darling, darling jewel. ‘Take my word for...

For those of you who, like me, don’t have health insurance and can’t afford to go to an ophthalmalogist every 12 months when your contact prescription obviously hasn’t changed, and thus aren’t able to order new lenses from anywhere in the U.S. because said prescription is 13 months old. Prescribing doctor’s info isn’t required, and prices are nearly identical to...

I WIN THIS ROUND BITCHES
Allow me to present a letter sent by the city building inspector to my greedy, irresponsible landlords, re: repairs that they have refused to make, which need to be made in order to bring the unit into compliance with city code (emphases my own).
This letter is to inform you that an inspection of this property was performed on 02/29/12 the purpose of which was to verify compliance with the...

…and it was goddamn delicious, but I gotta admit: the color of it, especially after marinating overnight, made me feel more than a little uncomfortable about putting it in my body.
Like so:
It reminded me of this article on our natural aversion to strangely-colored foods, which apparently developed as a means of self-preservation in the times before refrigeration, when fuchsia food was...
Elegy for the Quagga
By Sarah Lindsay
Krakatau split with a blinding noise and raised from gutted, steaming rock a pulverized black sky, over water walls that swiftly fell on Java and Sumatra. Fifteen days before, in its cage in Amsterdam, the last known member of Equus quagga, the southernmost subspecies of zebra, died. Most of the wild ones, not wild enough, grazing near the Cape of Good Hope, had been shot and...

Amazing recording from 1993. Although I was about 10 years behind the times, listening to Mazzy Star was pretty much the only thing that 17-year-old-me did right.
