Welcome To the Real World, She Said To Me, Condescendingly

I didn’t actually ever mention it, unless you count daily organizational tags “mentioning.”
Which (of course) I totally don’t, and I wouldn’t have even used them, but my brain is a mess rocky, barren place organized chaos of maps and folders and sub-folders labeled for your convenience, you’re welcome my sanity, most likely. Thus, not (overly) [...]

Survey Says

Yesterday I asked for, and thus received, wonderful feedback on the previous color schemes (myriad shades of pink and purple for those just joining, or for those of you like that one guy, in that one movie, who merely dabbles in short-term memory) and the current design and lay out of kerrianne.org. (Thank! you, so [...]

In The Spirit Of Wednesday Nights: Two Haikus For Heidi Klum

Of sequins and fleece:
Sarah Jessica Parker,
will you sign my sock?
She licked her fabric;
Sarah Jessica Parker!
My top smells like spit.

One Nation, Under Stickers

I am easily amused. It’s true and verily documented. One of the many somethings that causes me to grin with glee? Stickers. Call it childish if you must (and I shall not be offended), but stickers make me happy. Especially when they say things like “Revolution between the lines,” “Talk nerdy to me,” and “The [...]

How To Rock A Saturday Night: In A Helmet

Last weekend Chris bought us both bikes. We are to become Riders. Bike Riders, that is. With helmets. We are going to do all of this and not get run-over by myriad drivers probably looking to squish us underneath their hybrid whatevers. Or so we hope.
I decided new helmets translated to “pictures! of course! and [...]

Portrait Of An Obsession

If we’re being honest, we can all admit to a few fetishes. For some it’s jewelry, scarves, or tattoos. For others it’s shoes, make-up, or hats of all shapes and sizes. I myself like earrings and purses, and anyone who has spent any shopping time with me knows I have a passionate, ongoing love affair [...]

Backwards And Forwards With My Heart Hanging Out, Or: I Saw Feist! Last Night, And Now I Want To Have Her Indie Rock Babies

Feist concert review, in two sentences:
1. The most amazingly dynamic live act I have ever been privy to attend, and oh! the guitar riffs.
2. “Easily ranked in my top five concerts of all time,” Chris says quickly, still grinning giddily, which, taking into account his musical background (he is a musician; he doesn’t talk about [...]

Seeking: A Good Page-Turner

A few months ago I joined a book club. My first ever, and boy did I feel instant book geek gratification. A book! club. Where all we do is eat dessert! and read! books! One could pass out from the sheer excitement of it all.
But, seriously. I was excited. Because strawberries and home-made pound-cake? SO [...]

The scene: Henry Rollins, veins pulsing, head sweating, arms waving, voice booming, The Aladdin theater, Portland, tonight, somewhere between 8pm and 11pm.
“Is that what your once stellar sex life needs?”
“NO.”
“What it needs is the realization that a black mambo could bite you in the face when you’re sitting on the toilet.”
And then, later, again sometime [...]

Redemption! Is Mine. Sort Of.

Take THIS, every plant I ever (almost) killed in my lifetime either intentionally* or accidentally:

That’s right. I! grew those.
Of course they are, technically, “wild flowers,” and so by “grew” I mostly mean “I planted them and then completely forgot about them.” But, still. A girl has to take full credit where she can get it.
And [...]
