Come time-travel with me

If you’ve been here long enough you probably know that I’ve been doing an art substack where I share my strange doodles each week for years now (and I’m going to do at least one more year because I’m still loving it) but I decided to start a second one to share my very weirdContinue reading “Come time-travel with me”

Just tell me I don’t have Frankenstein.

Today Victor and I were driving home and I said, “The other day I saw an iguana sunning himself on our neighbors fence” and Victor looked at me like I was crazy but I know what I saw. And when we turned it I was like, “THERE IT FUCKING IS! DO YOU NOT SEE THATContinue reading “Just tell me I don’t have Frankenstein.”

Victor: First off, I don’t do “game night”. Secondly, that’s not how charades works. me: I’m pretty sure it is, butContinue reading “Victor ruins everything and also probably hates America”

I can’t think of a proper title for this.

I’m two weeks behind on the wrap-up again because I suck. But I have a good reason because Victor’s still dealing with his broken arm (see: “Man Cold” X 80 billion). He’s having a plate put in it next week, which is nice because that means that he’ll have to be frisked through every airportContinue reading “I can’t think of a proper title for this.”
