Now do it!
What is this madness? My own husband censoring me on his blog? I left this comment in response to his post:
I would like to report that Andreas modeled his “duotard” (as he’s calling it) this weekend. Skin tight shirt + skin tight, uh, tights + Andreas = HAPPIEST SAUSAGE SUIT EVER! I think tights were [...]
Two weeks ago, Dre and my car was prowled while we ate dinner in Columbia City. The prowlers got my ipod and our car stereo face (just the face), which I’d stupidly left in the unlocked glove compartment. I replaced both items (the ipod was on the fritz anyway) and life went on.
Tonight we met [...]
I have had a string of cursed meals these last few days:
1. Saturday night I check the website of my new favorite restaurant, Healthy Hedon. It says they’re open until 11. We show up at 9:30, and they are 100% closed, with lights off, doors locked, etc. The owner is getting into her car out [...]

Friday: NIA, coffee with Dawn, three-month post-eye surgery exam, errands, book proofing, dinner out (car stereo face and ipod stolen during dinner — meh, at least they didn’t steal the stereo itself), then a nice nostalgic viewing of Pump [...]

No-one threw up, so it must have gone ok!
I just received a phone call from a young woman wanting to know if I was hiring. When I asked her where she found my number, she said, “in the phone book under escort services.” This leads me to believe that I have officially been punked. Either that, or this is the most divine comedy [...]
Today I received a phone call from a man looking for an escort. This is actually the third time this has happened in recent months, but the first time that I actually took the call and didn’t just laugh at a voicemail.
It was very confusing. The guy told me he was interested in my “services,” [...]
