On the left side of the sanity bell curve
What blows the absolute and utmost about suicide is that, when someone really wants to take their own life, it can’t be prevented save for someone finding said person in the act or directly following and then maybe not even. The most help you can give is to be a friend. If you fear for… Continue reading Suicide: The One Who is Fighting the Battle with Himself.
At some point yesterday I happened upon the much discussed topic of a Gizmodo intern’s not-so-nice piece she wrote about the online dating site OKCupid and Jon Finkle. Huh? [Mom, I now read everything I write like you’re reading it and you’ll just have to follow the links.] I worried over the whole line of links… Continue reading Yucky and Dumb: Alyssa Bereznak, Jon Finkel and Lots of Links
A time not so long ago, since it was only a couple of years ago, and in a land not too far away, since I think I might have written it from the other couch, I wrote about how I missed gaming. I still do to some extent but there have been a few games… Continue reading Long Live Play: Sony’s New Playstation Campaign Video
Remember a while back when I got lazy and had writer’s block and stuff so I embedded a bunch of videos and I named the post something stupid–Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy Video Day!–so you probably didn’t see it anyway but I put up some videos and three of them had to do with Adele and… Continue reading I Told You Adele Doesn’t Suck
It’s not a good idea to drink two big cans of NOS about an hour before you plan on going to sleep. Trust me. Alot. [That’s a link to a tweet I posted which led to a rather lengthy Twitter discussion revolving around people’s mutual hatred of “a lot” spelled “alot.” It’s kind of like… Continue reading Sparkly Crotch and a Dance Fight
If you’re a lover of The Sims 3, might I suggest you peruse my most recent post at Kmart Gamer? “Would people be willing to pay such a premium for a world when they have a new one coming with Pets? As someone who still sticks with Sunset Valley, I wasn’t sure if I would… Continue reading I Have a New Post Up At Kmart Gamer About Hidden Springs for The Sims 3
I have to clean today. I’m putting that off by writing this even though the last thing I want to do is write. I’d much rather be sleeping. I was up way too late last night working on a Sims post for Kmart Gamer about the new world that came out. [You can see pretty… Continue reading Kind of Like a Trip To the Gynecologist
Just about this time eight years ago, Tucker and I were living in the ghetto–or about as ghetto as Jonesboro, AR can get–and were enjoying the oblivion of working mindless jobs and chilling at the pool with various alcoholic drinks and friends. Sophie was about four months old and would run around the pool and… Continue reading Sophie: A Bath
Ever start writing a post and you have this great idea and you’re ready. To. Write. It. and then you actually start and you realize you don’t want to write about that great idea after all and you flounder about trying to come up with something to post since you already kind of started and… Continue reading Great Planned Post and a Parenting Video
How do you explain to a four year old that she can’t love someone after just one meeting? Correct answer? You don’t explain it. You just nod and smile when she professes her undying love to the only boy in her gymnastics class. I told her after her first gymnastics class of this term–when she… Continue reading A Four Year Old’s First Love
I made some amazing Greek-style yogurt. You should too. Here’s how. Stuff you need: Milk – I used a half gallon of 2%. 1 cup plain store bought yogurt with live and active cultures [most yogurt is going to fit the bill]. A slow cooker aka a Crockpot. A beach towel. A thermometer. Cheese cloth/paper… Continue reading Homemade Greek-Style Crockpot Yogurt
When you cross that line from gamer to gaming parent there are certain issues with which you have to deal. The big one? Keeping your toddler from seeing you pop a dude’s head like an overripe watermelon. By my estimation–and experience–you have about a year before you have to reconsider your choice of games so… Continue reading Kmart Gamer Post: Kid Friendly Games You Might Not Hate Playing
