Could You Hurt a Fly?

April 21, 2009

Because of my own recent trauma with Craigslist, I’ve been avoiding the coverage of the Craigslist murder case as much as possible, but now that the suspect’s fiance has been speaking out and there are headlines that she is standing by her man and declaring that he “wouldn’t hurt a fly”, I am drawn to […]

Represent

April 21, 2009

So this weekend, Husbandrinka takes off for fucking PARIS with a parting, “I wish I could stay here with you” to me, and I’m like, “Look, not like I’m not tons of fun or anything, but I doubt that Lawrence Olivier could have pulled off that line,” and once he leaves the kids and I […]

Hi, There! We Are Here To Destroy You!

April 15, 2009

Sorry, but my son is a big Monsters v. Aliens fan and this is a very funny line from the movie because it comes with fun hand gestures which I can’t show you because this is a blog and not a video screen. But he’s been repeating it a lot and we all laugh whenever […]

Guess Who’d Be Coming to Dinner, if I Could Bear to Subject Him to It

April 15, 2009

When I was a senior in high school, with a promising college career ahead of me, I had to sit my parents down at the kitchen table, and like so many girls before me, break some harsh news to them. I was going to the senior prom with a black guy. I also suspected that […]
