And I know this can be done because another blog I used to read, all of a sudden the blogger added a bio that said something like “Suzy Blogger, recently nicknamed Dreamy McSteamy, has been blogging about walnuts since 1997” and I was all “What the hell? YOU chose that nickname! You can’t nickname yourself!…

Wooty Tooty Fresh n Fruity
I have no idea what I meant by that, BTW. It’s one of the sentences to spill out of my mouth, along with “Hell Yeah Bitches!” and “Rock Out With Your Cock Out”. You’re right if you’re thinking “Elaine’s mother must be so disappointed with her and that vulgar mouth!” unless you are my mother,…
2012 Year in Review
1. What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before? I attended the midnight premiere of a movie (The Hunger Games), I watched the Twilight movies (so bad, so very very bad), I ate and enjoyed avocado/guacamole and I watched many many episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation. 2. Did you keep…
Fo Shizzle. Yo.
So anyway, I was just reminded about Gizoogle.net. You know how there’s an International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Well, Gizoogle.net translates a website into (oh, what’s the best way to put this?) street speak. I just used Gizoogle.net to re-read the last two posts on my site here and it was hilarious. Two posts…
Merry Tuesday
Seriously. Christmas is on a Tuesday this year. This isn’t a holiday, it’s playing hooky from work. Maybe I’d Understand Better if I Were A Christian, but I call shenanigans on Christmas on a Tuesday. So this week I get to work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday? I had to work yesterday. I have to…
Fashion Advice, from me, to me
Dear Elaine, You need new clothes. Your black pants are rapidly going kaput and even your trusty stash of $6 Old Navy tshirts is getting a little thin (impressive for shirts that were neigh on to see through to begin with). That said, the first step in going clothing shopping is NOT buying a tshirt…
Oh, the dreams you have
(when you’re not taking Ambien) I kind of had a bad day on Friday that led me to not feel well all day Saturday due to it…it’s a hangover with an extra side of shame, so it’s really a Shameover. But Friday and Saturday nights were the first nights that I’ve slept without taking my…
The case against having your vacation bank displayed on your paycheck stub
(or as we say in the business, your voucher) So, it’s 4 or 5 days from December. The good news is that I get paid on Thursday. This is the time of year when phrases like “black out dates”, “year end”, “working on Saturdays” and “Fuck you Christmas on Tuesday*” get bandied about the office….
Vocabulary Lesson
So, I should be folding the laundry but I’m not. Instead, I’m reading a thread on Gawker that included screencaps from various Twitter feeds. One of the Tweets (tweets? We capitalize ‘Twitter’ so therefore we capitalize ‘Tweets’ right?) mentions that the Tweeter (yes, at this point I’m just coming up with new tenses of the…
Thankful ’12
So, despite my best efforts to stop time, we’ve hit the holiday season. Again. (Which means that year end is around the corner, but this is a post about things I AM thankful for, and besides, I just bought a half case of Apothic White, which should last me until at least January) This year,…
