Cheap Post

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Is is possible that traveling to CST zone and back in one weekend can fuck up your week so bad?
I know, I could have tweeted that. Bite my nuts. Chicago post coming soon.

Skate (b)log

Friday, April 30th, 2010

04/28 practice with Northern Ohio wRECk league — Ok, so I misjudged myself; I CAN skate backwards. It just takes some getting used to. I’m sure if I keep practicing, I could be just as agile going forward. Definitely not at the same speed though. Just as we did some new skills with step-outs and [...]

Skate (b)log

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Here’s the video from wRECk practice a couple weeks ago (yes, I’m in there):

And to better pick me out with all that gear, here are a couple pics (thanks to EZ!):
If anyone wants to come derby, we practice Wednesday nights at Brunswick Skate Station from 8:30-10:30pm.

PT: Pornogami

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

And for today’s Tuesday trick, I bring you Pornogami.
Gives a whole new perverted denotation to “Insert Tab A into Slot B.”
Anyone remember when that cheesy guy made a bar napkin into a flower… in 2003 (ack)? Imagine the disdain that follows upon folding a paper penis to scale.
Uh, yeah, guys? Don’t do that.
Regardless, there is also [...]

Dress-A-Friend Monday: Derby Day (the “other” derby)

Monday, April 26th, 2010

I still need to play a lot of catch-up with purses, shoes and accessories for Wardrobe Therapy — oh my!
This week, I’m responsible for dressing Mella for Churchill Downs. The only thing I know about derby is big dresses and big hats with big attitudes and bigger Mint Juleps. After reading a few of her [...]

Wardrobe Therapy: Shoes, Bags & Accessories

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Umbrella -  I have a slowly-breaking blue floral umbrella, which still works but is worse for wear. I should probably purchase one in an all-matching color and pattern. Especially since the boyfriend left his black umbrella in a Chicago cab this weekend.
Shoes - I’m still on the endless search for the perfect pair of black [...]

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

No wRECk practice this week, as I had tickets to see David Sedaris in Akron. Thanks again to Cleveland Magazine!
I made up for it by heading to Pla-mor in Euclid on Thursday to watch the Burning River Roller Girls practice then stick around for a two-hour open skate. Whew, boy. Skating rink for open skate [...]

Dress-A-Friend Monday: Rainy Day for Wende

Monday, April 19th, 2010

The Task:
This week, we’re going to dress each other for a rainy spring day. Think about your partner and how she would dress to go out in the April rain. Would she wear galoshes? What kind of raincoat? Would she go sans raincoat and only carry an umbrella? One of those old-lady rainbonnets? What would she [...]

A Listy Things of New!

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Let’s not overwhelm you, Dear Readers. I do a bulleted list to prevent your brain from exploding unnecessarily.

I joined fellow Tweeps last week for a dinner at AMP150, which was wonderful. For newbies, I recommend doing the six course Chef’s choice. And yes, Chef Cooley even arranged his selections around my shellfish allergy.  I will [...]

04/14 practice with Northern Ohio wRECk League — Bruises, bruises everywhere! Yikes.
Lots of bruises.
Queen of the Ring came early in practice, as there was a certain lack of energy in the room. And I ALMOST got it. There were so many hits in just that one drill, and eventually exhaustion took over. I fell to one [...]

Canad-a Possibility?

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Why won’t this girl shut up about Canada already?

As I mentioned, there are extremely cheap flights to Toronto right now. Like, less than $100 cheap. I can work with this kind of budget. Considering the gas prices rising through summer, the annoyance of flying could be worth it.
Some of the things in Toronto [...]

PT: Testicles Missing

File this under… OUCH! for the men.
And under “Slow Down The Revenge Tactics” for the ladies. (Or you know, “Fuck Him!”)…
Jealous wife says penis belongs to her
Sydney - An Australian woman set her husband’s genitals alight because she suspected he was having an affair, a court in Adelaide was told on Monday.

Dress-a-Friend Monday Challenge!

Monday, April 12th, 2010

I am horrible enough dressing myself, let alone someone else. Here goes my challenge to dress Esti from Sometimes Wendy Darling. The theme: Lazy Sunday brunch.
By the by, Wende did a FANTASTIC job of creating a couple outfits for my various Sunday Brunch shenanigans.
Here’s what I gathered from Esti’s WT so far: feminine clothing paired [...]

All Fans On Deck!

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Saturday was a super-awesome experience! I got to throw a first pitch at Classic Park for the Lake County Captains. We had great seats in between home plate and the home team dugout, just a few rows from the front. The stadium was (sadly) not full, and it was a GORGEOUS spring afternoon to sit [...]

WT: Hair & Make-Up

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

I think I’m all caught up with my Wardrobe Therapy assignments. Have I missed anything important, fellow WTers?
THIS week is all about the hair (eck) and make-up (even-more-eck). It has taken me a lifetime and a half to learn how to do my hair. I have chopped it, grown it out, dyed it every color… [...]

What to wear… this also stresses me.

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

Now that I’m knee deep into my closets and Wardrobe Therapy, I’m checking out fashion trends. What I know already is that teal is big for Spring, weird sandals are the norm, my huge purses are still in vogue and maxi or print dresses remain ideal for upcoming warmer weather. I’m still not sold on [...]

WT: Tops & Bottoms

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

I’m still playing a bit of catch-up on Wardrobe Therapy. I’ve combined my Tops/Bottoms posts below.
Tops! (includes tops, tanks, camis, bras, cardigans, vests):
My identifying colors are gray, green (more olive green than hunter green. eck), and navy blue. For obvious reasons given, they complement my eyes. My eye color is more a blue-gray, but I [...]

I’m talking about Canada again…

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

I haven’t been to Canada in a few years, and then, it was only Niagara Falls. A lot of touristy regular BS, mixed in with Casino and (awesome) strip bars. I haven’t been to Toronto since a class trip in junior high school (all the same, without the gambling and nudity). We’ve been talking about [...]

WT: Tossing & Piles

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

If I have a “style,” it is Granola Chic. It’s about comfort and adapting trends (usually a season or two behind because I won’t do what other people do just like I won’t wear what others wear) with bright or chunky accessories. I’m a basic gal — I like t-shirts and jeans and an awesome [...]

WT: Wardrobe Therapy (the questionnaire)

Friday, April 9th, 2010

I’m a late participant of online Wardrobe Therapy, referred by Lead Paint Cookbook. I’ve been meaning to keep record of my outfits and wardrobe for a while, and since I don’t really have any posts in mind other than boyfriend and roller derby stuff, muddled with the usual penis postings — why not include clothing to piss [...]
