The other night Violette and I went to see a play at the Mad Cow Theater. As these things happen, our seemingly innocuous and artsy fartsy evening actually turned out to be quite eventful. For reasons I will explain further, Vi and I ended up lurking the streets of downtown Orlando with [...]

I really should feel bad about how I cranked up some emo tunage for three eardrum- busting hours this afternoon. Emo is an acquired taste, you see, and it’s likely that my neighbors do not appreciate the sad, screechy vocals of skinny, floppy-haired, 17-year-old boys as much as I do…
But come to think of [...]

Someone you all know and love hasn’t been writing so much lately, because this special (and very beautiful) someone has, in the past week:
a) worked lots of extra hours at A Very Hip Software Company,
b) had Angel’s maaa and popi in town for Thanksgiving (hi MIL and FIL), and
c) took a second, seasonal job at [...]

$29.95.
Because kids in America just aren’t fat enough, various retailers throughout the country are marketing the shiny, happy Hostess Snack Oven as the toy to have this holiday season.
It’s fairly ironic that I made this discovery while sitting on the toilet; Flipping through sales circulars, I stopped when I saw the pint-sized artery-clogging contraption. My [...]

With Thanksgiving drawing near, I feel it is important to grouch less and give thanks more. Yes, dear hannihaus readers, tis the season to reflect and be grateful for those things that make life worth living –Things like God, family, and The O.C.’s nationally-televised nip slip. (God I love that show! And [...]

Dear Spanky,
Today you’ve reached a milestone. Already legally permitted to drive, smoke, and apply for credit cards, now you get to throw down some hooch whenever it tickles your fancy.
I can’t hardly believe it, but today baby sister, you turn 21.
Happy birthday babe, and a word to the wise: avoid drinking anything tonight that [...]

At least that’s what the weatherman said. He advised all Central Floridians to take the proper precautions, because today, he warned we would experience an – oh snap! – cold snap.
When I got into my car, the temperature gauge said 67 degrees. “Unbelievable,” I thought, “The weatherman calls this cold? What kind [...]

So remember when I told you that my neighbor, not-so-white White Trash Woman had moved out, the smell of urinal cakes in her wake? We all bid her adieu, saying good riddance to bad rubbish.
Well guess what? Like Martha sprung from the clink, she’s ba-ack. Or rather, I guess she never left.
In [...]

“Hello,” I say.
“Hey,” he says in his sweet, southern accent, “hows it goin’?”
“Fine,” I say, “I’m just working on writing something. It’s an entry for a competition –I want to win a Jesus dress up magnet set. It comes with heels and hot pants.”
“Cool, cool,” he says, completely nonplussed by my irreverent activities. [...]

Inquisitive little things, all cats are sneaky by nature. And it’s not that my cats are any more prone to filch than say, Von Krankipantzen’s Yoshi for example, but they are a bit off the beaten path when it comes to the types of things they steal.
Sphynx loves stealing bananas, razors, tank tops and [...]
