Clinton Campain + Bubblewrap!!!
I was contacted yesterday by a representative of Hillary Clinton’s campaign team asking if they could license my Virtual Bubblewrap for use in her newest online campaign ads. We haven’t worked anything out for sure yet, we’re still in the talking phase. Some of the ideas we’ve discussed are replacing the “random noise” bubbles’ sounds with sound bites from Hillary’s political speeches, or having the background be a picture of Hillary once all the...
Movie Review: Hogfather (2006)
In which I defend a position nobody has ever actually challenged me on...
Laundry is a pretty dull task, and so one’s mind does tend to wander in the course of doing it.* For some inexplicable reason, my mind tends to wander into the more esoteric nooks and crannies of the fascinating topic of…um…doing the laundry. I could be daydreaming about movie stars or sex or thinking of something useful like planning dinner or trying to remember how to do statistics problems… but more often I think about...
Another Installment of Absurdist Mail Theater
Incredible! I have in my hands another piece of the most ludicrous mail I’ve ever received. Yet again, sent by hopped-up religious zealots. Now, I have nothing against Christians in general, but these goofy fringe loonies just get to me. I can’t take them seriously. This one came in an envelope all marked up in silliness, just like the other one did. The best part was on the back:
This Mail Can't Be Real?!
Ok, I get a lot of junk mail, and I throw most of it away. Every now and then, however, something really stands out. Sometimes it looks inviting. Sometimes it looks cool. And then sometimes it looks so unbelievably stupid and scary, you just have to open it. That was the case today when I checked the mail. Seems some slightly over-caffeinated Christians decided to send out some really weird shit. What caught my eye...
NASA Hid PROOF of Extra-terrestrial Life
I was first drawn to examine NASA photographs taken on the moon when I saw the photographic proof* on Seethruart’s pursuasive webpage. When he showed proof that the NASA astronauts were stepping on tiny alien shuttles, and proof that there were tiny flying crafts hiding in the rocks (see closeup!!) I knew he was onto something. These were not ordinary “rocks and dirt” that NASA had been leading...
The Candy Corn Incident
I’m not sure how old I was, but I can’t have been older than about 8 or 9. It was near Halloween and my mom, or maybe Sonia, had given me a bag of candy corn. At the time this was one of my favorite candies.
I had been given the absurd limitation of two pieces per day. Considering how tiny these are, and that most people eat them by the fistful, it was nearly...
Hummus: DotCom Overboard?
I think that the trend of companies and products opening websites is wonderful. I am so much more likely to look up information on the web than I am to call an 800 number or (god forbid) actually GO somewhere. I also like to shop online when I can. [...] But then there are some things that just confuse me. Sometimes I think that it’s going too far, or in a bizarre direction. For example, today. I bought some hummus…
Terms of Endearment: The Evolution of Nicknames
When my ex-husband and I were dating we were obscenely sweet and cutsie. We had the typical nicknames for each other at first…
Photos of Tucson
Here are some pictures I’ve been meaning to take for years, but every time I go back, I forget. Well this time I remembered! And so without further ado, I present some of the odd sights of Tucson…
