“Baby, when are you gonna blog about how I always beat your ass at Scrabble?”
- Angelface, Circa Sunday night
Although I’m ashamed to admit this for both personal and professional reasons, I’m going to be candid here: I am a loser.
A writer by profession, I realize there are certain things people come to expect of me. [...]

I’d like you to think I’m wearing a sassy, pink armband today because I’m kind of a Punk Rawk Princess, (and gurls like me wear that kind of stuff). But the truth is, Nike Pink –she is a makeshift pressure cuff. You see, dear hannihaus readers, I’m no Sporty Spice and I’ve got the boo-boo [...]

Want to get my attention?
To solicit a lecture from the Nutrition Nazi on why you need to eat more veggies all you need to do is:
Pick through the crudite platter, cock your head sideways, and ask “What’s up with the white broccoli?”
Before thrashing you soundly about the head, I will tell you nothing is wrong [...]

There’s a ton of great movies out right now - (Yeah Brokeback Mountain. Cowboys in love = yum.) - and Angelface asked me about one I’d gone to see with Niccy B.
Angelface: (looking perplexed) “Who the eff is Guy-ee-SHA?”
Hänni: “What?”
Angelface: “Guy-ee-SHA? Who is Guy-ee-SHA and why does he/she/it get their own movie?”
Hänni: “I think [...]

Well it’s that time of year again, folks. For the next 15 weeks or so, millions of people will tune in and tune out to the Fox phenom, American Idol. This is the haus’s favorite show, and - because we like it, we really like it - we want to celebrate with a little friendly [...]

Today I come to you, a humbled Hänni. It seems, dear hannihaus readers, that I made an egregious mistake when I reported that Randy “they used to call him Jabba” Jackson did *not* use the word “dawg” on the American Idol Season 5 premier.
I’m not sure how I missed it, but a playback, brought to [...]

And so it’s begun. With a two-hour premier that was chock full of the schlock, American Idol Season five is in full, freaking swing.
While AI was, as always, enjoyable, the Windy City auditions were a wee bit disappointing.
Sure there was the requisite taunting of the tone deaf, and yes there was a dude in drag [...]

Somebody found the haus by googling “Mariah Carey is fat”. (hee)
Now why would anyone say that about Mimi?
My only guess is it has something to do with this unfortunate picture that’s been circulating on the Internet:

Fake you say?
Agreed. That last pic was obviously *not* Mariah Carey. It was missing a critical component:

Now that’s [...]

Dear hannihaus readers, it is a momentous day indeed. Angelface is away working all weekend so I’ve chosen to participate in an activity that, along with referring to me as “Queen Mistress Supreme”, is on the list of things my husband refuses to do.
Yes dear hannihaus readers, for the next nine hours I will be [...]

Because if you’re anything like me at the end of a week – that is, a blathering, blubbering, work-worn dolt – then you need to do something fun.
I found something for you. It’s called “retrievr” and it’s just the Jane-dandiest.
How it works
You draw an image on this nifto sketch screen and while you’re doing [...]
