. a blogumn by CH As many of you know etc and I sold our house in Silver Lake and are currently renting in Altadena. We like Altadena but we are finding Pasadena is more our speed. Altadena is just a little too sleepy for ex Silver Lake hipsters like us. We plan on renting [...]

Sallie here. So, no one guessed that yesterday’s song was “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime” by The Korgis. Actually, no one even tried to guess. Are you guys too busy reading about beautiful Betty? Or are you taking the week off? ‘Cuz Ernessa isn’t taking the week off. She’s laying in a hospital bed and she’s [...]

But I do wonder if there isn’t more to this statistic than simple gender gaps. I have noticed that while my husband, CH, seems to have more leisure time [...]

CH has been wanting me to throw one of these AutoTune the News spots up for a while now, and I’ve got to admit that this one is particularly brilliant. Yeah boy-ee, time to regulate some lettuce up in here!

I kinda forgot/didn’t know that I wasn’t supposed to guess the lyric, and I only got it half-right anyway. But you better believe I’m [...]

Hey Guys! Wanted to get one last blog in while Betty’s upstairs w/ CH getting her very first bath. Man, the pushing bit of labor was hard. It took 90 minutes and considerable hoohah tearing to force CH’s big headed progeny out of what turned out to be my really narrow birth canal. And as [...]

So I don’t watch this show. I don’t want to watch this show. I’ve never been a fan of train wrecks. But I do want to say that I find it rather annoying that while Kate Gosselin is getting all sorts of guff for swatting her child on the behind, nobody seems upset at all [...]

  My Breakup Bookcase idea has wrought a certain amount of havoc, but that story will have to wait.  It has to wait because our fearless leader, the inimitably fierce ‘n nerdy Ernessa, is in labor.  Right now.  As I type this.  Life shall emanate forth from her loins.   That’s a big deal.   [...]
