Write like there's no one reading. You can follow this blog via email or send an owl. Thursday, March 12, 2015. Barium Cobalt Einstein Koolaid! Obviously I haven't kept up with my one-word-a-day goal at all, so I'm changing the rule to this: I'll post a new word whenever I feel like it and only if I have the time. Hooyah! It's great to be an author! Which means they're even more noble and awesome. They have to literally. So the caffeine-junkie scientist's words are going to have to do. Next time he cheats.

The requirements are about the same as what's needed to work at McDonald's (breathing) with one added thing: you should be Catholic. Some light reading. Not. Ever did I expect to come out feeling like I'd been exposed to the work of a master storyteller! Yes, at the end of my eight weeks, I might as well have...

On GMA this morning, they ran a fluff story about parents who decided to “cancel” Christmas for their three young boys. I’m torn about whether to admire them for their stick-to-it-iveness or view them as child abusers. Who hasn't threatened this? This couple's actually doing it! Not much fun for little Elmo. Based on reading this, you’ll probably dismi...

The Block: Goodbye

Write like there's no one reading. You can follow this blog via email or send an owl. Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Okay, so it's day two and I'm still going strong. Today's chosen word is Goodbye. Most people don't like goodbyes, but I don't mind them. I've found that they are rarely final. Bonus points for this thrilling aspect: when they are. Time will tell.). I'll never set eyes on you again (How do I know this? You could say 'bye was the precursor of the hacked attempts at wordings we relay through a va...

At least I’m not alone. I’m sure some of you have seen the blog slamming women who stay home with their children as underachieving slackers who are merely pretending to be feminists to make themselves feel better. The purpose of a blog post like that. Now watch as I completely disregard my own advice. Amy Something is o...

Write like there's no one reading. You can follow this blog via email or send an owl. Tuesday, January 13, 2015. I scrolled through the comments below the post. There was no need to go very far. Others had posted rants similar to what I myself was thinking. We've been here all our lives, scarfing down Sanders hot fudge and Better Made potato chips. What the heck is a pannukakku? What's it doing among the Michigan standards? Sorry, guys, eh! Okay, I did. Anyway, pannukakku is my new favorite word. No ...

I kinda sorta knew what it meant before Googling it, even though it has been years and years since I've read the novel that made the word famous. (I still Googled just to make sure I wouldn't make an ass of myself by claiming it meant something it didn't.) Wuthering (onomatopoeia much? Arguably the best listener of all times, he's the one who gets my vote of sympathy. Imagine bumbling int...
