Daisy and I just had to trim Pantera’s fur around her butt. She purred the whole time. What a fucking freak.
Empty wallets.
The sun baked cruise down I-95 South takes only about one hour from any given spot in Jacksonville. The enormous American flag waving majestically on the stretch is purely foreshadowing of the discount-frenzy you’re about to be tossed into. It’s a trek many Jacksonvillian moms will embark on this late summer with a carload of screamy children to re-up their back-to-school wardrobe. The...

A family of four uses 400 gallons of water every day. Here are some steps to conserve water.
· Don’t let the water run while shaving or brushing teeth.
· Take short showers instead of tub baths.
· Keep drinking water in the refrigerator instead of letting the faucet run until the water is cool.
· Scrape, rather than rinse,...

I had a terrifyingly realistic dream last night that there was some inundation of lions swarming Jacksonville. The lion statues in San Marco came alive and their eyes glowed like ominous diamonds.
Actually, I’m pretty sure all the lions ravaging the city were brought to life from a previously inanimate state. I’m not sure why- it was some sort of Harry Potter shit. Anyway, they were...

A few things I did this weekend that made me feel...
- used lots and lots of noxious chemicals to burn away the grime of my now-nearly-emptied BV apartment
- showing up to Qdoba for a much-needed burrito whilst reeking of said noxious chemicals (not to mention my primer-camouflage)
- yelled at my mom for waking up at 7 a.m. yesterday
- going to sleep before 10 p.m. last night
- wearing earplugs last night/this morning to ensure against...

Beca, is the first song in this from the Phoenix album you picked for us?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes, it is.

– Yet people still have no problem hanging up on me time and time again. Little do they know when they do that, I mark it on my sheet and Marlene takes them out of the listings.

i sort of secretly love admitting to strangers, “i don’t ride fixed,” and watching some people recoil. i want to say, “let me introduce you to my best friend in jacksonville who commutes on a rebuilt mountain bike.” oogabooga.

Disappointment Monday.
A far cry from Sunday Funday, I’m sorry to report. However, the multiple blows of today’s bummer revelations are certainly softened by cheese grits.
"You look like an elve."
“An elf?”
“An elve.”
“…”
“It’s a compliment.”
Well that’s the last time I venture barside solo on nights when the noise kids invade TSI.
Hardwick.
Here, at my new house, the birds keep singing until 1 a.m. The tile floors are cool and the backyard, flecked with tall St. Augustine blades of turf, promises an ideal slip-n-slide platform. There’s an ice-cream truck making daily 4:20 p.m. rounds. And now the four felines also residing here are living as harmoniously as can be expected. Yay!
