Camp season begins early in the writing world. That’s right, the first of two annual writing challenges called “Camp NaNoWriMo” began on April Fool’s Day and Mark & I are participating. Well, we’re intending to participate. As of this writing, he has added precisely zero words to our collaborative…
Two years ago I wrote a blog about how I preferred the kind-hearted flower-leaving-behind ding-dong-ditch holiday of May Day to the mean-spirited assholery that April Fool’s Day has become. Particularly, in the wake of the internet. I also commented about how funny it must have been for my ol’…
Welcome to the second installment of Pheenie ❤s Phood on Jeez, Josie.com. A series of posts where yours truly eats and then dishes about it. This is a continuation of the first post, in which I spoke about the Lay’s Flavor Swap edition chips: Smoked Gouda & Chives and…

Tomorrow night, the Dead will Walk again. That’s right bitches, the B-side of season 6 begins on Valentine’s Day this year (easily in the top ten gifts I’ve ever received for the holiday) and I cannot wait for “The Walking Dead” to return. Mark & I…
Snowmageddon 2016 has come (and by now, I sincerely hope) gone. Yeah, once again I’m writing this blog a few days before it will publish, but that’s okay. Here and now, it is just after noon on Sunday, January 24th and there are about thirty inches of snow on…
