These Colors Don’t Run, But They Do Clash
Yeah, I know George Washington didn’t ride up to Betsy Ross’ house and ask her to stitch the Stars and Stripes together. I know the Declaration of Independence wasn’t actually signed on July 4th. Yes, I’m aware that Independence day only celebrates when America declared its independence, not when it gained it. And I know about the War of 1812, thankyouverymuch. So let’s just not turn this into another one of those AH-HA! I’M SMARTER THAN YOU ABOUT ALL THE HISTORY THINGS kind of posts that you see everywhere these days. Because it’s not about that. This is about the America Flag. And modern color theory. And how awful the two can be when they meet. Read More

Spam: Part The Second
It’s that time again. My Inbox is filling up, and the only way I know how to get rid of Spam is to reply to it. And then post it all for you to enjoy. Or groan at because my jokes are stupid. Whichever. I hate you, shut up.
I’m starting out with just four choice little emails today, but I’ll add more in the coming days until I hit another even ten. Then, I’ll start the whole thing over again with Part Three. Assuming I haven’t snapped by that point. I’m also including screen captures of the spam, because last time I copied and pasted text and edited out full names and email addresses to protect the senders’ privacy and, well, ain’t nobody got time for that. Sorry, annoying spammy people. Read More

Party Time. Roll For Initiative!
My stepson turned eight last week, and it’s all happening too fast. He was two when I met him, which was like, five minutes ago. But it is what it is, I guess. The fire of time consumes all things. Bleak. Depression. Blah.
BUT, he had a FANTASTIC party. Wrote a blog post about it. Wanna read it? Here it go!
Earlier this year, I happened to be cruising around the Internet (because surfing it is so ’90s) and stopped on Geek and Sundry’s TableTop channel. For those of you heathens out there who don’t know, TableTop is a fantastic web series where the always groovy Wil Wheaton hosts a few folks for a rousing game of Super Awesome Board/Dice/Whatever games. It’s a fun show. You should watch it. But not right now. Finish reading this first, because it’s pretty cool. I promise. Read More
