Oh, so serious, Mel!

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

How fucking serious am I when I’m blogging? Or, in the middle of still writing my vacation blogging posts — getting in every minute that I can. What’s that? You’re out of work, Mel & you have all the time in the world to be writing right now. Not quite.
BTW, learning Mac shortcuts for use [...]

If birds and bees are doing it — you should DEFINITELY do it!

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

No, not falling in love, romantic rashes — doing “it.” And by “it,” I mean, going to the Animal Attractions event at the Cleveland Zoo’s Rainforest!
Next Thursday, February 4, join other animal, ahem… lovers from 6-9pm in a great event sponsoring the Cleveland Zoo Society. This adults-only adventure takes you behind-the-scenes, with the chance to [...]

Random things I’ve recently learned.

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

When big shit happens, I can maintain a fairly level head of the situation at hand and act accordingly. So, why does the “small stuff” still wreck havoc on my insides and provide endless amounts of stress? And why is flying STILL one of the most traumatic experiences for me ever?
Never start a conversation with [...]

Penis Tuesday

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

FAIL Blog, the epic wiener of accidental penis gave me this last week:
Upon further research, IT REALLY DOES EXIST! The book, rather, not-so-much on a man whose penis is SO HUGE it renders itself too useful for society.

Hot Haitian Nights

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Saturday night, join like-minded Clevelanders for a benefit to help rebuild Haiti.
I met a fantastic woman, Inga, last night at gnoCLE* who is half-Haitian — and together with CLE Clothing & Speakeasy (the new swanky bar below Bier Markt) — has scheduled a fundraiser for the recent earthquake victims.
With a suggested donation of $10 — [...]

New responsibilities…

Monday, January 25th, 2010

On top of experiencing a somewhat spirited/hectic week, AB & I added a little bugger to our household:
Finally, someone (else) to kill the spiders!
Now, I make no promises that this won’t turn into some thwarted version of a Kitty-Blogger Blog, albeit amidst complaints that the fucking cat is a nocturnal wench. I guess “bastard” is [...]

Cleveland Lust Survey

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Cleveland Scene Magazine posted a survey to learn all about your sexy, sexy time (and the people within it).
Dare to answer honestly? I’m super curious as to how other Clevelanders would respond, especially to the “cheating” question.
Oh, Scene… just make me a judge already.
There are prizes for awesome answers — but NOBODY will be identified [...]

Poop & Rally!

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Day two in Tampa. It’s still freaking cold. I’m beyond feeling breakfast, and feeling the need for a big sandwich. Before heading off for vacation, I looked up a few restaurants and places to go while visiting Tampa. One of those places was Datz Delicatessen and Foodie’s Market (and Loft Bar). Oh, the irony upon opening [...]

Ohh-Kay!

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

First things first, I have a rough time flying. As much as I attempt to think logically about the statistics and what-not, I am a balled up mess of anxiety (so balled that Xanax DOES NOT WORK). But I have a system: ALCOHOL. It is the only thing that allows me to function and not [...]

Come to room E84. TRBX!

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

While I pace myself writing about the fantastic music and artists on The Rock Boat, I figured it’s been a week, so time to sum up the vacation itself.
BUT THERE ARE NO WORDS!
No question, this is one of the coolest and most fun vacations ever planned. You know, without all that shitty weather. I met [...]

Penis Tuesday

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Canadian reader “Tiger Lily” submitted this penile gem: Holiday Splash!
Sometimes, there are no words. Only pictures. And in the case of this picture, get out your red pens for another installment of “Find the Penis!”
I mean, I knew that Canadians were more liberal… but in the newspaper!?

January does a good job in ending quickly. Pseh!

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I cannot believe it’s past the mid-point of January. Week-long vacations have a way of taking a big ass chunk out of the month.
Another vacation, another year of not dying from alcohol poisoning.
Both our road trip to Indiana for New Year’s Eve and our vacation on The Rock Boat were fantastic. Now, it’s January, and [...]

Back, bitches!

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Well, hello ladies and germs. I have returned from the cold, choppy seas of Tampa/Cozumel. With no tan. Not even a new age spot or cleavage wrinkle because we experienced perhaps twelve minutes of sunshine.  I ever expected to wear my Cleveland WINTER gloves to a concert on the Lido Deck of a Carnival Cruise. [...]

Rolling, rolling, rolling.

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Today’s guest post is from my dear, dear friend, Kent Smith. Sir Smith is here today to rave about Cleveland’s own Burning River Roller Girls. I swear to you, I will grow a set of balls this year to actually try out next season.
I even have two potential nicknames selected — obviously not family friendly… [...]

CLEVELAND, LAS VEGAS

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

One friend leaves, and another comes back! Dott-O is back in The Cleve! While we had a Missed Connection when I visited Vegas, I’m super-excited about her (semi) permanent reinstallation The Steel Ovaries Happy Hour back home. Truly.
And it’s always uber-awesome for a (re)addition to the local arts scene…
——————————————————–
So Mel asks me to “guest blog” [...]

Friends, I will remember you… (Guest Post)

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

With great sadness, I introduce soon-to-be-former Clevelander, Cleveland Caper. *sigh* We just started to be what would be a really good friendship… with karaoke nights to be scheduled.
She asks for suggestions… for WHAT? Well, you have to read until the rest of her post. But of course, the answer to any question is always: [...]

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Ah, the memories…
Enjoy these 10 “Best of…” posts from 2009, while I’m on The Rock Boat to Cozumel (yes, I’m rubbing it in again, Cleveland):
1. Things to do when Suddenly Single
2. Cleveland+ Elevator Pitch
3. I get fucked over? You get lucky!
4. Samoas. Trefoils. Lent. Giving up cookies and more.
5. I’m writing this post in my [...]

TMI Thursday - Guest post!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Today’s guest post is beyond awesome. I laughed so hard I nearly peed myself. I’ve never done a TMI Thursday post — mostly because I don’t regularly speak about my own sex life. Perhaps I should start, save only for hilarious stories as posted below. Anywho, TMI Thursdays are a day we share a bit [...]

Foreign Family Christmas

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

While I’m working on my tan in Florida and Mexico for seven days, I’m passing the blogging reigns to my friends and the bloggers whom I stalk. Religiously.
I don’t know another way to pray.
Today’s guest post comes from my dear friend, Carley. She was my graphic designer professor (we were the same age) many moons [...]

Penis Tuesday

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Today’s guest post submission for Penis Tuesday comes from… Mr. Kevin Coughlin. YES, THAT Kevin Coughlin — Cleveland’s Hottest Politician, once selected by the class at now-defunct Political Science 216 (darn, I miss that site!).
I further omg-omg-omg’d when I read his reply to my request for guest bloggers on Twitter: “Oh absolutely. But only [...]
