Because I forgot that, as a registered member of the Mountain/Green Party in WV, I can’t vote for a presidential nominee. We ain’t got any. Apparently. We did… I dunno what happened to Jesse Johnson. I realized this yesterday. Quite a hell of a lot too late to switch. But OMG did I need to. [...]

Highlights from the 2007 Pumpkin Festival:
Massive doodles on Thursday, a.k.a. The Slow Day.
Many, many babies, especially newborns who made my uterus cry with wanting.
A cool-looking mom with great tattoos who used her daughter’s long ponytail as a loose leash and made me laugh.
Pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin fudge- yesyesyes.
Number of Carrie Underwood covers butchered onstage: 2
Number [...]

No, I haven’t finished The To-Do List That Ate Seneca Rock, but I wanted to make a quickie post and then wanted to add a photo from Bu’s recent WV adventures in landscape photography, and then I had to play in Photoshop because it is teh crack.
I kinda lurv my silly design. I’d buy it [...]
good gay news
August 23, 2007 – 12:28 pm
Thank you Accuradio>>Flock of Eighties>>No Metal. This is the first time I’ve heard It’s Raining Men outside of a gay bar. FYI, in WV, it does rain men in the gay bars. Cute girls? Yes but considerably fewer. At least that was true in the days before my hugely pregnant breastfeeding constantly too-busy-with-toddler-to-party ass was still going [...]
the screams / the clutching of breast / so sorry about the mess
April 23, 2007 – 2:02 pm
We’re back. The trip was, as predicted, bliss. We had a perfect re-charge. If I weren’t having hormonal hell right now, I’d still be glowing. Instead I keep waiting to see if I’ll actually have a period or if I just get the bloating and moodswings and weirdness without any actual mess. It’s mindboggling that [...]
a breastfeeding victory in WV
March 30, 2007 – 5:42 pm
Some friends of mine did a lot of work to make this happen. I sent a few emails:/ But we have a (watered down) version of the bill being signed Monday.
From the WV Breastfeeding Yahoo group:
Just got word from Governor Manchin’s office that he will be signing SB 148, the breastfeeding-related bill, this coming Monday, [...]

…was what my mom called me when I was a) having a candlelit ritual in the backyard, b) extolling the virtues of tofu and condemning the meat industry, c) telling her about my “girlfriend” in Pittsburgh, or d) being otherwise Not Of the Mainstream, at least for my itty bitty suburb in Appalachia.
She would accuse [...]
touchstone
March 11, 2007 – 11:48 pm
This is an ode to my Bu. Bu who drags me away from my computer when I am ready to explode with stress and makes me go hike up the hill across from our property. Bu who holds me when I’m sobbing for the most inane reasons and doesn’t ask why. Bu who used to [...]
mother of the freakin’ year
February 23, 2007 – 11:27 am
And you thought Britney was the most pathetic redneck mother in the country…
Well, in my defense, my human baby is accounted for and it’s been 7 years since I shaved my head under the influence of a fifth of Jack Daniels.
But still: Animal control just dropped off my dogs and issued me four citations, [...]
