Welp, tonight was pretty much the awesomest night of my life. I want to tell you guys about it, but it’s 430a and I should probably try to nap before the morning routine begins in 1.5 hours.

Oh. Wait.
With further research, I find that the PBA opened membership to women in April of 2004. TWO THOUSAND FUCKING FOUR.

Is pro bowling just a boy’s club by tradition or are women actually not allowed to play in it?  I really can’t tell by doing a short Google search.  I am looking at the ranks of the champs past and present and the only female Hall of Famer I have found was inducted for service as a business secretary.  The WTBA has a few high-ranked women in their leagues, but the PBA just...

I don’t want to log any of my training sessions this week on DailyMile just because I love that my Tumblr widget shows the 18 miler on there.  I feel like a little kid with a spelling bee trophy.  HEY, DID YOU KNOW I DID THIS AWESOME THING?  LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT IT.  AGAIN.  HEY.  HEY.  I RAN.  IT WAS LONG.  HEY, LOOK AT MY RUN.  PAY ATTENTION TO ME. Unfortunately, I was stupid and instead...

So we checked and apparently we have pinched our pennies appropriately like we were supposed to and one last trip to Tokyo is definitely happening.  Six weeks ‘til I get to go back to try to see one of my favourite cities, and more importantly, see my sister and party like Party Cat in goth gear.  It’s even possible I might get to stay a few days later than the rest of the fam and just...

The other day, we let Sam outside with the girls for some supervised playtime in the yard.  It’s not safe here to let them be regular outdoor cats, but they’re both so bored inside sometimes that we like to let them get some fresh air every now and then.  Sam had an AMAZING time…playing like she was a kitten again, chasing geckos and bugs, biting plants, exploring nooks and...

Quick, who reposted that 2-pic set of Seth Rogan bitching about Chris Brown at the Grammys with quality commentary about several foul criminal movie types with Oscars?  I need their names because that shit just came up in my FB feed and I’m itching for a fight right now.

Occasionally, we have troubled kids who, in lieu of juvenile lock-up, come to Island Girl Power to volunteer with the girls and take the various classes we offer.  In discussing a setback that happened with one of them, Juanita said in passing “Tatuada’s house is always open for people who need it”.   That phrase just floated back up to me as I was eating supper, and I realized...

18 miles
(tw:  mention of calorie and weight numbers) I can state unequivocally that today was my best long run yet.  Save for sore feet near the end, I felt strong, energetic, and clearheaded through the entire 18 miles.  I think a combination of several factors contributed to this:  being fully out of the withdrawal/new side effects stage of my meds; said meds working really, really well for me;...

Welp, I’m obviously not going to post anything of quality at this rate and I’ve been awake for 32 hours.  I think I’ll have a nap.  I have an Ace Ventura/nachos/sundae party tonight and I need my strength. Thanks for indulging my grotesque internet binge.  I’m sure it sounds fucked to some people, but I really needed that.

Look, I know parents can be entitled assholes.  Hell, I’ve probably been one at some time or other.  I have twins, fer Chrissake, surely I must have been pretty demanding at some point in their infancy. (Let me note for the record, though, that I am generally a really hip, non-assholey mom, dammit.) But seriously, LOL WADDLING SOCCER MOM IN A VAN BECAUSE BREEDERS AMIRITE LOL CROTCHFRUIT...

Wow, man.
Nope, still don’t like Coke Talk.  She’s not edgy; she’s an asshole. Being nice is not a character flaw.  OoOo, you took the Expectant Mom spot and made a rude, shitty comment to a stranger.  Aren’t you hip? Seriously, “edgy” people are right above under-nail splinters on my list of things that can fuck right off.

I thought my peaceful relaxation music had taken a drastic turn in the wrong direction, but then I realized it was because my random internet spiral had led me here and it was just his magic theme music blasting over top of my waves and mellow piano jazz.

tw:  rape. Skip the post-song outro clip in the “Sorry For Party Rocking”.  The cameo by Kid (of Kid ‘n Play fame) was funny enough, but a flip comment about “they’re raping zebras out there” made me want to slam my head on the counter.  Christ. Yes, I know they’re talking about party blow-up toys, but just the casual “lol rape” thing really...

Oh, also, tonight someone knocked loudly on my door at almost 7p.  I don’t even know why I answered it, perhaps I was just startled that someone was knocking at that hour, but I opened the door to see a very short middle-aged Chinese man, wearing nice slacks, a button-up shirt, and a necktie, holding a leather satchel.  He looked quite nervous, told me he was visiting all the houses in the...

I don’t want to take the Ambien tonight, but duty nights are always sleepless nights.  I don’t know why.  You’d think I sleep better, ‘cos the bastard (I say that affectionately) snores like you wouldn’t believe.  I spend half of most nights rolling him back on his side. I’ll probably just look at the Chikorita tag on here and eat an ice cream bar and listen to...
