A Festivus for the rest of us

What’s up with China?  Lip-synching little girls and underage gymnasts?  Straighten up, Chungwa.

I often wonder how much of Sugar’s cat hair I’ve unintentionally ingested in the year and a half we’ve had her. 

Hanson or the Jonas Brothers?  I actually wouldn’t mind taking on all six.  At the same time, no less.

Remember when Minute Maid came in a black carton?  What were they thinking?  The juice of death that goes perfect with your breakfast?

One morning the other weekend, I woke up and went into the hallway and noticed the light was on in J. Co’s room.  Ice-cold fear shot through me, as she’s been on vacay in Peru for the last month and I’ve been on my own.  My eyes went wide as I realized my greatest fear had come true: someone had broken into the house.  I crept down the hall, listening for sounds, and prepared to open the door, expecting to find some crackhead, deshelved transient rifling through her things.  I steeled my nerves, prepared for the worst, and pushed upon the door with a whoosh…. and was met with a sun-dappled, person-free room.  The sun had come out, and filled the room with light, and I was safe for another day.
