Custer’d
A few days ago, Gene and I were floating the idea of buying a place, like a paper boat in a bathtub. We take the boat out and play with it from time to time, but just for fun, and it always ends with an agreement that in order to buy a place as nice … Continue reading
Clean living
Sometimes I rather plaintively ask Gene why we can’t have a house cleaner come in a couple of times a month, and then he says “Would a house cleaner cost me as much as you do?” and we both laugh and it’s all very cute*. But anyway, a few weeks ago I finally hit saturation … Continue reading
Cracker Jack
The California Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage today. This is a big deal, not just for LGBT people, but for everyone who believes in equality and justice. I congratulate every Californian who wanted to get married and will now be able to. There is no word as to whether the Supreme Court … Continue reading
Watching Enchanted
Patrick Dempsey: Blah blah blah I am Mr. McCynical! Gene: Whoa! Me: Holy cow. Gene: Is that Sam Seaborn? Me: No. It’s the lead from that show that McTighe was on. Gene: Ok, but I’m not crazy, right? You’re hearing Sam? Me: They’re voice twins! Patrick Dempsey: Blah blah blah princesses aren’t real. Gene: Ok, … Continue reading
Void Androids

Living with Gene gives me a unique perspective on a supremely analytical mind, so I know how Data ought to be … Continue reading
Seven days…
I’ve always thought Valentine’s Day was sort of stupid.

Plus, any girl who gets her hopes up about this holiday seems destined to have those hopes dashed. If, … Continue reading
Votes for Women
I have a not-so-secret weakness for voting with Gene. I think it is terribly romantic. Also, our polling place is on Beaver Street. Hot! “Where are you guys off to?” “Oh, we’re heading down to Beaver Street. Gene’s gotta check some boxes, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.” “What about you? Aren’t you going to…uh…vote?” … Continue reading
It’s the headband one, right?
Gene: Wanna watch First Blood? Kris: No. Gene: Do you know what it is? Kris: No. Gene: It’s the first Rambo movie. You have to see the first one or you can’t see the others. Kris: I don’t really need to see them. I feel I know everything I need to know about Rambo. Gene: … Continue reading
Pre-coffee, spoiling for a fight
ME: Why is the internet so slow? GENE: Here, I can fix that. ME: Can you move this light? GENE: [Moves heavy light the requisite one foot.] ME: Why didn’t my email forward right? What is wrong? GENE: I’ll take a look. ME: Stupid Gmail. Stupid computer. I hate this fucking computer! GENE: Click “show … Continue reading
