Hodge Podge Lodge Thursday

OK, disjointedly cruising web while fast-forwarding through MFJ. I went on something of a Twitter bender on Tuesday night, eventually landing on the biggest prize of them all–none other than past PG Superhero Questlove! Not only does ?uesto tweet, he blips.
The problem with the Twitter bender is this: currently, when I post here at PG, [...]

Something to Live for…

The past three days have been unbelievable. I’ve been so happy, I just haven’t known what to do. Frankly, it’s been completely disorienting. Like waking up to find out that the last season was just a dream…
Obviously, this happiness has made me uneasy. I am not a happiness person. I’m an anxiety person. I like [...]

Winken, Blinken and Nod

I’ll admit it–I’ve been all over the place the last couple of weeks. I haven’t posted anything on this site for over a week because every time I think, “Here it is, my grand pronouncement on Blabbedy Blah,” HOLY SHIT, INCOMING!
Don’t you think it’s been like M*A*S*H* lately? Like we’re all exhausted, frozen and still [...]

Mr. Clean

You know what’s really great about the Meltdown on Wall Street? It gives Grandpa McAngrypants something else to clean up. Having another mess, one with global consequences and triggers we really can’t predict, since the people of the Earth (which is what I think I’ll start calling the reality based community) have never been able [...]

Palinmania–the Antidote

The fog seems to have lifted and I no longer feel murderous. This can be attributed to several things that happened yesterday:

I read on Daily Kos that Kay Hagan is now leading Elizabeth Dole in the North Carolina senate race. Keep hope alive! I then got in the game of commenting on DKos. Having a [...]

Mercy Post

We all know that I stopped writing this thing. The life just seemed to go out of it for me, as I began commenting more and more on Burnt Orange Report and obsessively scanning Daily Kos for signs of sympathy for the Lone Star State. Life got busy. I wrote emails instead of rants. I [...]

Coming Out the Closet, Part 4: The Pay Off

Today was Good Friday. Mazie pretty much summed up her dim view of Christianity this morning when she said, “What’s so good about Good Friday?” After that, our lack of religious observation today seemed less like a cop-out and more like a conflict management strategy.
And what is so good about Good Friday? What are we [...]

Are there Cliff Notes for this thing yet?

OK, I’ll be the first to admit it: the last post was just too fucking long. Plus, it crossed a couple of my self-imposed semi-boundaries. So, I’m going to move it into a new little satellite cluster of windbaggy stuff. I’m thinking of calling it “Burr’s Bullshit.” Be that as it may, promise to write [...]

Song of the Day #36: Once in a Lifetime

You probably won’t believe me but I’d just hit “publish” for the last post when John Aielli came on, begging for more pledging, and the live version “Once in a Lifetime” was playing underneath. He referred to playing it last week (heard it) but claimed that last week’s version wasn’t the best one. Today, he [...]

Nine Short Posts About SXSW: BlogHer v. My Life, Round One

One of the reasons I was excited about going to SXSW was the chance to hear some of the leading women bloggers talk about their work. It was my guilty pleasure, an interactive affair I was planning to keep my true self afloat through the film festival, the awkward parties, and the time on the [...]
