Leave Aktarer Zaman alone! Do I need to get my red vlog curtains out again? Has it come to that? Okay: although sites like Skiplagged.com have been around for a bit, it’s all news to me. Thus, this law suit against the guy (Aktarer Zaman) who created it is too. And it’s ridiculous to the ridiculouseth power. The concept behind Hidden City (if you’ve been in the dark too) is..

If you listen closely, you can hear the joke going over your head.
I’m having trouble deciding how to share this Facebook facepalm worthy post without sounding cruel. While I deliberate, I’ll give you some context about this video that was shared: basically, some David Blaine style dude swaps the torsos and lower halves of a man and a woman. On a park bench. In the middle of a crowd. While people are watching and gasping and running in horror. Now, I don’t.. Read More
Monkey see, monkey save
As often as I see these stories, I still sit there slack-jawed and captivated every damn time. And that goes for my humankind’s acts of kindness on the tracks too. A dude jumping on top of another dude while the train moves above them both. A man in a full on fancy business suit, hopping into the track to carry a fallen hobo out just in time. The reverse of..

Scrooge on a plane (PC holiday greetings)
Which is more annoying? Commercialized religious holidays? Or the greetings that don’t jibe with your religion? For me, it’s the people complaining. About either. Because they’re that attached to the historical myth they were indoctrinated into… that they forget what the rules of the organization even were. For instance, amidst the “being kind” and “doing unto others”, I don’t think “go off on a tirade to the crew and pilot.. Read More
Mind over Matthew: post-coma dude thinks he’s McConaughey
You know that moment when you first wake up in the morning and dunno who or what you are? Imagine how much worse it’d be waking from a coma. Sheeeiiit. I’m trying, but I don’t even know what I am at 5 A.M. when I open my eyes after a punctuated slumber. There’s not telling how much worse it’d be if I was waking up from an extended nap after..

Vintage bras were a sin against tit-kind.
I never met my maternal great grandmother. But from what I heard, she was awesome. And from what history says, she was probably awesome because she went through a lot of hard times – like The Great Depression, little food, tight funds, and shitty bras…? Yes. You heard me. There’s a lot of stuff our lady ancestors had to deal with while playing Suzy Seamstress and Connie Cook. And while.. Read More
The silver lining of silver bells season
Winter has never been my favorite. Having lived in a region with seasonal changes four times a year, you’d think I would have gotten used to the ephemeral nature of warm, beautiful, summer by now. Alas, the Hawaiian half of me is so strong that a yearly freeze will always be my kryptonite. This year, being my second winter sans firewatwer or pills to numb the hatred of not-warm weather,..

OldzZZZzzzZzz
Because I'm 200 years old, apparently. #sweetdreams A photo posted by Ashley (@missashleypants) on Dec 12, 2014 at 5:40pm PST You know, I’m not even trying to fight it or hide it anymore. Every Most Some nights, lately, I end up getting in bed around 9 or 10. Even though I end up tossing and turning or working and reading, that’s what I do. And this week, that moved up.. Read More
Best way to battle Christmas = laying down weapons.
Christmas at my house has generally meant putting the “fun” in “dysfunctional”. Yes, a bit cliche – but only if you’re being sarcastic. And a few holidays ago, I might have told you that’s exactly what I meant as well. But we’ve been doing pretty well the past couple of years. Oh, we’re still dysfunctional – but it really has been kinda fun – and with less yelling. I’m not.. Read More
4 reasons you’d die if you hibernated till spring.
We can learn much from our animal friends. Sadly, most of the really the fun stuff (like sitting on power lines or trying to fly off a roof or in anything that’s not huge, pressurized, and shitting fuel across the sky) is generally admonished against attempting. But aside from dancing across the clouds, hunting a blissfully unaware still breathing dinner from afar, or screwing shamelessly in public, one of the.. Read More
