At our new place, we have sooo many kitchen cabinets! Who are we, the Kardashians? This is only half of them! (Still unpacking.)

Fear and Labor

Here. Omg. This is up! I feel super cool and all embarrassed, and I’m so honored to have my writing up at The Feminist Breeder! San Francisco seemed as good as any place to pee on a stick. After two weeks of driving cross-country feeling a little off, blaming car sickness and altitude changes for …

Experimenting on my Students: A Cure for my “Cell Phones in the Classroom” Rage

Apryl — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:30:28 +0000

The Phone Stack is a brilliant and fun idea for a group of friends out to dinner, whereby everyone puts his or her phone on the table and whoever goes for it first, pays the check. I LOVE it, because I hate myself when I realize I’m sitting, having a conversation with someone AND checking …

A (totally serious) Critique of Suess’ Marvin K. Mooney

Apryl — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:47:50 +0000

Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! is not one of Seuss’ best. It’s no The Cat in the Hat, it’s no One Fish, Two Fish, or even Hop on Pop. The basic story is, as the title suggests, a plea for this Marvin K. Mooney character to “please go, now,” yet, it’s never …

1. 1992. High school drama club cast party for Damn Yankees at Señor Rattlers where we, of course, danced to Rock Lobster and Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Then, we stood in a big circle, swaying and singing That’s What Friends Are For (lame, right?) and drank virgin margaritas. I have videotaped proof of this. …

Most Heartbreaking Line of All Time

In “Goodnight Moon,” the narrator enumerates the items found in the great green room of a little bunny-boy, only to then say goodnight to each one. Most of the things listed are tangible–kittens, mittens, a brush, a bowl full of mush, a creepy old lady knitting. But, after each thing is bid adieu for the …

Most Beautiful Line Ever Written

In this scene, Toad, paralyzed by the loss of his To Do list, can’t do anything. Frog joins him in a lovely show of friendship and compassion. My heart aches; it’s so full.

Nipple Confusion is probably goth.

Jason Reitman’s new movie, “Young Adult,” looks great, of course. It is just about everything I like in a movie, (even though it’s written by Diablo Cody… that’s a whole other topic.) But, I like it even more after catching a glimpse of this on the trailer. OMG! NIPPLE CONFUSION!! Best name for a band …
