Tonight is my encore comedy performance, which I have titled Oops…I’m Doing It Again. When I did my first stand-up show in December, it was the culmination of a 10-week class, and I said I was good on stand-up and had no plans to do another show. I had only…

It’s Girl Scout cookie season and time for me to face the truth about my daughter: she is a Samoas fiend. I came home one day, and my daughter said, “I bought some Samoas. I left you the last row.” To which I said, “Thank you, I know that was…

I’m currently listening to Leslie Jones’s book, Leslie F*cking Jones. (It’s awesome and you should listen to it because she goes off script A LOT.) In the book, she talks a lot about Quantum Leap moments (yes, based on the TV show), what she describes as the moments she wishes she could…

I was thinking about posting ALL DAY and then I got home and forgot until I looked at the clock just now (11:34 p.m.). Sigh. Part of the reason I got sidetracked is that I get off work at 8:20 p.m. and then I got home and decompressed by…I don’t…

It’s the first day of March, so regular readers of the blog know what that means: time to decide at the very last minute to participate in the Slice of Life Challenge hosted by Two Writing Teachers. Hi. Since I have not updated my blog regularly since then (always a…

This is the cousin to the grading drinking game, of course. Originally posted 01.30.2025-02.12.2025. I’m compiling…

I attended the 2025 Pop Culture Association (PCA) Conference because I got a paper accepted. Liveblogged my days at the conference as one does. Today’s post is all about day two. You can read about day one here. PCA-ACA 2025 Day 2 (April 17) 11:30 AM Panel 1: Television IV:…

As always, I’m going to end the month with a reflection. I’m going to use the questions from last year, though I will not be making charts this time as it’s late, and I don’t want to…tonight. But I probably will tomorrow when I’m procrastinating on grading. Want to, that…
