The Further Adventures of Miss Kitten

Here are the lyrics to a song that has recently become my anthem: My Life from Billy Joel’s 52nd Street Album.
Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn’t go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up [...]

Here’s another one for the “Truth is Stranger Then Fiction” files. My favorite part is when the article states that “an inexperienced staff member had been manning the cash desk at the time.” Ya think? I bet a few heads rolled for this:

Woman exchanges Monopoly money for Danish kroner
A woman in Denmark played a high [...]

The Pivotal Moment
It’s a particular moment in one’s life where everything changes. You are one person before the moment and a different person after it.
It could be a positive experience, such as a marriage or some kind of religious epiphany. Or it could be, as in my grandmother’s case, a decidedly negative experience. We’ve never [...]

I’m a regular visitor of the Procrastination. In fact, I’ve been thinking of applying for citizenship and getting my own Procrastination passport. But…meh. I’ll do it later.

There’s virtually no chance you’ve been abducted by aliens.
But there’s always hope for the future!

I can’t believe that some people actually need to be reminded that Coca-Cola is a beverage. You’re supposed to drink it, and it’s not meant to come in contact with any other orifice. For those of you wondering, “What orifice?” (as you should be), I’ll explain. However, keep in mind that the following sentences [...]

Those closest to me already know that shortly before I moved to Sweden I had just ended a very co-dependant and abusive relationship that lasted for ten years. I’m still trying to come to terms with why I allowed it go on for as long as it did, and why any intelligent and attractive woman [...]

This video has lately been making its rounds on the intertubes, so you’ve probably seen it already. A kitty casually strolls onto the set during a live weather broadcast in a German television studio. The ever-professional reporter simply picks up the kitty and continues as if nothing is out of the ordinary.
I think Weather [...]

I just discovered this website and I’m hopelessly in love with this blogger. He had me when he wrote this about “abstinence-only” pledges and why they don’t work:
I pledged to abstain from being so awesome but I couldn’t stop thinking about how awesome it would be to be awesome. So, I caved.
I looked up some [...]

I meant to write this last night and post it before posting my Project Mayhem piece, but I never got around to it. My laziness is pathological…sometimes.
Project Mayhem is meant to be the literary/blog equivalent of turning over a New Year’s leaf. It was conceived by my friends High Priestess Kang and Ming the Merciless [...]
