I followed a Pussy Ranch link over to the CityPages.com to read some of Diablo Cody's work (see below). On her the article I found, her name is linked to a page that lists all of her articles to date.
I think it's worth sharing.

I'm WAY behind on posts...
You know, I started this Blog thing so I could... because I wanted to... uh... well, I forget. Now I find that I really don't keep up with it like I should. Bad Tom! Bad!
But today, I got inspired. Yesterday a friend of mine read back through some of my posts and said some nice things. Lessee, there was "laughed my ass off" and "you should write part-time." Very sweet. Thanks, Kell. (Btw, she was reading the Spaz posts [here and here], which I, too, think are pretty funny. Kelly obviously has discerning taste.)
Soon after, there ensued a frenzied email exchange wherein we made each other laugh. A lot. Good times.
So. Anyway. I find that I'm way, WAY behind on posting here. Since being in Denver, I've been to San Diego (I did a partial post on that), Chicago, the Outer Banks, Orlando and Philly.
No, I won't try to get caught up. Too much work and it wouldn't be "fresh" and "topical," anyway.
However, there are a couple of things to bring to your attention. I've opened my Wiki up to the universe at large. For better or worse. You'll find a link to it at the top of each page of this site.
There's a sub-section of the Wiki I've also put at the top of the page: the Outer Banks travel page. That's mostly for my benefit of my Outer Banks family.

The Pussy Ranch signs off
Relax. Take a pill. We're all adults here, right? Besides, this is my site and I make the rules here and I say it's OK to say "pussy" on this site. Sorry, Mom
Well, I got some bad news today. Actually, it happened back in August, but I haven't been 'round to this site in a couple of months.
The Pussy Ranch is permanently closed for business. At least until the cows come home. (see the last post)
The Pussy Ranch is (was?) the home of the incredibly clever, heart-breakingly cute and eye-tearingly funny Diablo Cody. Until a few months ago, Diablo worked in the sex trade. At various times she's been an exotic dancer (stripper), a peep-show dancer at a sex-toy shop and a phone sex operator. On her site she chronicalled, lampooned really, her experiences in the business. She also shared with us her thoughts on music, Jon, celebrities, art, sex and other such important life-matters.
Diablo is brilliant. She's every bit as funny as anyone I've ever read, funnier than most. Her turn of phrase is uniquely hers, achingly fresh, and her insight belies her tender years (26, I think). She has a knack for stringing words together, like so many shiny little baubles, into sparkling strands of language.
She's been wanting to get out of the sex trade for quite some time and finally got two breaks, almost simultaneously, that allowed her to take the leap: she got a "straight" job (one that isn't in "the biz") and she started writing for CityPages.com (a weekly online magazine published out of Minneapolis). At about the same time, she and Jon, her live-in lover and the emotional center of her universe, bought a home together. All this activity left her less and less time to work on the blog.
Toward the end, her posts became more infrequent, with Jon sometimes filling in with links to her City Pages articles (like this, this and this). Finally, back in August, with surprisingly little fanfare, Diablo Cody made a farewell post to the Pussy Ranch. That's it. Done. Well, at least until the cows come home.
I strongly encourage you to read her blog and her archives. You'll thank me.
Warning: this is adult content. Baudy fun, some nudity and keen-witted humor; definitely not for youngsters. You have been warned. You, too, Mom. ;-)
