Crazy Monkey Gurls Unite

The Year of Kiki

Ms. Monkey-Gurl — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:53:07 +0000

If you may remember, it’s been just about exactly one year since I became fate’s bitch. During the intervening months, I’ve also become fate’s cohabitant, then fate’s registered domestic partner … which is to say fate and I have become quite close. It has been a year of varied fortunes, to be sure, but one of [...]

How 7th Heaven Ran for 11 Seasons (?!?!) and Other Heretofore Unexplained Tragedies

Ms. Monkey-Gurl — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 03:52:43 +0000

Okay, I’m not really going to attempt to explain how/why the “heart-warming” “family” “drama” 7th Heaven ran for 11 … yes, you read right … 11 seasons. I could sooner deliver a five-minute introduction to nuclear fission than fathom the appeal of that show. Literally. I’m speaking literally here. Nuclear fission. Five minutes. No, no. [...]

Dead Guys I Like, Part 7

Ms. Monkey-Gurl — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:09:30 +0000

George Carlin RIP, George. You were a philosopher for our times. I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it. Don’t sweat the petty things, and don’t pet the sweaty things. If God had intended us not to masturbate, he would’ve made our arms shorter. Inside every cynical person, there is [...]

Song of the Day: Pretty Twofer

Ms. Monkey-Gurl — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:52:09 +0000

I once knew someone who kept a list of songs he considered the prettiest. (”Pink Moon” was one example he gave me.) While my tendency to eschew playlists is well documented, creating a mental catalog of pretty songs struck me as a worthwhile endeavor somehow. Now, when I hear new music, it inevitably gets parsed [...]

What Now, Bitches?

Thanks to @roosto for (getting my sense of humor and) passing along this lil funny.

My Fantasy Baseball Theme Song

Ms. Monkey-Gurl — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:06:48 +0000

It requires a Herculean effort to live in Boston for any significant period of time and *not* find yourself—eventually—at a Sox game. Whether or not you’re from Boston … whether or not you like baseball … you inexplicably want to go, so you go. In fact, I think every Boston-area university includes a Sox game [...]

My 300th Post (What? You expected a parade?)

Ms. Monkey-Gurl — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:01:28 +0000

The Twitter obsession continues unabated (as do the playfully snarky exchanges with Em Em via IM). All is right with the world. *sigh* [12:30] Kiki: awesome and right up ur alley [12:31] Em Em: hee! [12:31] Em Em: did i tell you that time the red line was down, i went back to hynes on the green to [...]
