It happened! I’m feeling better! Wooty-woot-woot! It’s funny, how when you’re feeling better, you just KNOW it. But when you’re not feeling better, you don’t even remember what feeling-better feels like. Yesterday Me: Am I feeling better today? Me Again: Maybe. I think so. Me: Yeah, me too. I mean, it feels like…
Dear Sleepy-Type Cold Medicine, I just took you, so you’ll pardon the formality of this letter, since we’re already more intimate than I make us out to be. But I wanted to ask you a favor. The begging of favors requires politeness and politeness requires a nice letter. You know how it is. I’m not…

So now that the holidays have tapered off a bit (the cards have stopped coming, my stocking dark chocolates have been eaten, and I’ve watched all of the corny Christmas movies available online), I’ve begun to finally buckle down and write my next show. It’s something that’s been floating around in my head for a…
Mmm! Homemade black bean soup! Delicious, yes? Definitely, but make sure you’ve got your wits about you while you’re cooking. Even if you always turn off your blender before unplugging it, make sure you put the lid on those tomatoes before you plug that blender back in. Yes, it makes for a funny moment from…
