When I think of righting wrongs, fixing injustices …
When I think of “caring lawyers” …
When I think of truth, honor, integrity, and all of those other things/words/ideas that make a person want to stand up and salute something …
I always think of bikini-clad boxing ring card girls.
God bless the “caring lawyers” at Rosen Louik & [...]

A comment posted to the previous Furries are Frickin’ Weird post:
I don’t attend Anthrocon because it’s on the wrong goddamned end of the country, but surfing Technorati for these kind of overblown reactions to it a lot of fun.
Here in California nerd society is what drives the economy, and nobody even blinks at these kind [...]

Since they adopted Pittsburgh as their hometown, we knew they would be back. They are. It’s still weird.
Before you Furries/animal lovers/weirdos email me to scold me that Anthrocon and its participants are not weird, please note this quote:
“It’s very weird. I don’t even know how to explain how weird it is.”

Lukey and the City announced today a new initiative to make the city’s operations more green and to hire a coordinator to oversee it.
Forget the fact, for a moment at least, that I am sick and tired of the word “green.” Not the idea behind it. In fact, I recently began purchasing those pain in [...]

As you know, PittGirl and friends spent Saturday downtown at the Kenny Chesney concert, after a few stops beforehand:
1. First, you can’t park downtown, walk through the Arts Festival and try to walk past this booth thinking you’re not going to buy something.
It didn’t delay us long because it only takes about two minutes [...]

Today was an early day to head out of downtown, and as luck would have it I happened to need to leave my office at exactly the same time that the HAND OF GOD CAME DOWN TO BITCH SLAP ME WITH A MONSOON.
I mean seriously. Bitch slapped me with a monsoon.
The wind was so [...]

We had the distinct displeasure of getting stuck behind it all the way down Grant Street to the Blvd of the Allies. It felt like an eternity, and we didn’t even have a kid in the car! No offense to Schevelle, but that’s a lot of [...]

1. I would be a lot more willing to add paper to the copier/printer if someone would invent a ream of paper covered with a plastic that’s easy to open. Until then, I’ll just not print anything until the intern gets to it.
2. Do you want Greg Lloyd to come in your [...]

1. There’s been a mini discussion amidst my Twitterverse about how uncool it is and how very early nineties it is that PittGirl hearts, adores, and imbibes the fantastic-osity of Zima.
Zima is delicious on a hot summer day.
Of course, I should have been tipped off to the un-coolness and unpopularity of it when I headed [...]

Do I need to remind you guys about that time I went “ballistic” on Jan Beatty and may or may not have in so many words told her to take a microphone and well, ahem, shove it up her ass?
Right. Didn’t think so.
