Ted: You’re afraid of the seven dwarfs? Robin: Just Doc. He’s creepy! I mean, the guy’s got a medical degree. What’s he doing hanging around a bunch of coal miners? How I Met Your Mother season 2, episode 9 “Slap Bet” I can only imagine what Robin would have thought about this list of rejected … Continue reading »
One year ago today, I launched my blog. I’m now at nearly 75,000 hits! Thanks to my friends, family, and fans for supporting this little endeavor of mine :)
If you haven’t checked out Funky Munky (by CORINAofficial – I’m just unofficialCorina I guess) you certainly should do so at your earliest convenience. Like now. It’s pretty glorious and her sunglasses both fascinate and disturb me. Moving along we find some 90s gems by another artist named Corina (summertime summertime 97 was a great … Continue reading »
Normal people actually turn things in well in advance of deadlines, and thus submit eligible entries for contests that they were invited to enter. Not me, though! I make sure to make everything else a priority, so I have to somehow learn how to create a slide show, write and record my own version of … Continue reading »
Don’t know what it is about sneezes that upset her so, but it is pretty adorable when she gets so mad. I’ve tried this at various pitches and tones of voice and she seems equally pissed for every type of sneeze, so I don’t think it’s because her ears are hurting? I wouldn’t sneeze (or … Continue reading »
My bestest friend in the whole wide world sent me this link, because she knew it was perfect for my blog. Sidenote, BFF Erin should totally have her own blog. I suppose working full-time and chasing after a toddler does take up a fair amount of her time, though. Anyway! Here are the awesome and … Continue reading »
(Please imagine the title of this post being said in Barney’s weird high-pitched voice from the episode “Spoiler Alert”) It didn’t even occur to me to attempt to draw a mall when this seemed like such an easy clue! And, to their credit, “M-A-L-L” was being filled in before I even got to writing Robin … Continue reading »
As if turning 30 this November isn’t bad enough, AARP is apparently ready to indoctrinate me as an official old person a full two decades ahead of schedule: First they suggest that I’m officially an old lady, and then they add insult to injury by mentioning a FREE INSULATED TRAVEL BAG that I’m not actually … Continue reading »
Last week I shared with my readers the true Key to Feminity, as per Arlene Dahl: Always Ask A Man. Yes, it’s just that simple! If you’re looking to accent your femininity via hair color, though, Arlene has some more detailed assistance available. Take these quizzes to find out if you’re true to your hair … Continue reading »
Reblogged from Raising My Rainbow: Dear unborn children of the 100 homophobes who tweeted that they would murder you if you are gay,* I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you got shitty parents. Unfortunately it happens sometimes, though in a perfect world it wouldn’t. I’m worried about you and so are a lot of other people. … Continue reading »
As seen on a sidewalk in Napa – made me smile :)
This is by far my favorite thrift store book find ever, beating out hundreds or possibly thousands of other titles. The author nails it with her 1965 gem Always Ask A Man: Arlene Dahl’s Key to Femininity. Were you wondering how to achieve total femininity and loveliness? Just check for approval with the nearest male! … Continue reading »
Pick up to 3 faves :) (and please tell me if I missed any, thanks!)
I’ve noticed a somewhat disturbing trend in pop culture recently, wherein people suggest using two condoms at once (“double bagging”) for double the condom efficacy. Except that actually equals less protection, not more. Edited to add: Molly: Are you gonna be double bagging your junk on our honeymoon? Mike & Molly, season 2 episode 18 “Peggy … Continue reading »
This version of the Disney Princess crew – and Kristen Wiig as a boozy Cinderella – makes me so very happy. The rest of Lindsay Lohan’s SNL comeback went downhill pretty fast, but this cracked me up. Here’s the best and most glorious gifs celebrating the show that Bravo needs to get to work on… … Continue reading »
“We are here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff!” I see this whenever I walk down the street to Starbucks, and I always get this song stuck in my head afterwards. So now it can be stuck in your head, too!
Butterfly kisses and ladybug hugs :)
This post is dedicated to Jay, who loves HIMYM almost as much as I do. He texted me those pics when I was having a bad day a long time ago and they still crack me up.

Seriously! It didn’t seem staged to me – he turned several shades of red when it happened, and when asked about it later – but I wouldn’t care even if it was a stunt. Maybe some former High School Musical fan will be inspired to practice safe sex at his or her next opportunity. Hopefully … Continue reading »
That’s me! (I’m actually corinacorina, but “orinacorina” has a nice, birdlike ring to it) Also, I’m still pretty disturbed by wtf is going on here. I hope it is photoshopped or at least staged and that pregnant girl isn’t about to drop in off that ramp?
I posted an update on my article “I Do Not Feel Betrayed When A Plus Size Model Loses Weight” which had some pretty scathing comments aimed at PLUS Model Magazine Editor-in-Chief Madeline Jones. In my original post, I wondered whether this was some sort of joke, because it was hard for me to fathom that an … Continue reading »
