Oh yeah, I have a blog …

April 20, 2007

Maybe I should … I don’t know … write in it, or something?
I know I haven’t been around much, and I have very little excuse for myself. I just haven’t been feeling it lately … 
… dawg.
Not much has been going on anyway. Well … not much interesting has been going on anyway. There has been [...]

One day, I was already old …

April 17, 2007

Those are the words that kick off The Lover, by Marguerite Duras. Those are the words that keep ringing around in my head these days.
I’m feeling old.
Maybe it’s the few strands of gray I noticed in my hair. Or, maybe it’s that both the host and the music guest of last week’s Saturday Night Live looked [...]

Series finale of The Show with Ze Frank

March 16, 2007

Today, Ze Frank will air the final episode of his much beloved Show.
I will miss it very much
Ze’s site has long been my favorite time killer – my own personal pick for “Best site in all the internets.”  It started from that very first instructional video he produced, How to Dance Properly. 
His site back then was [...]

Look for me between the cushions, where it’s safe

March 13, 2007

I like to fall asleep on the sofa. It seems I always have.
My first memories of sleeping on the sofa are from when I was around 9 or 10. My parents made the unfortunate choice of taking me with them to see The Amytiville Horror in the movie theatres. We lived in this giant, old colonial house at [...]

Angry tears

March 8, 2007

Whenever I get really, really, angry … I start crying.
I hate it.
There I am, all full of fury and indignation, and all I want is to melt the object of that fury with the hot heat coming out of my eyes. But, when I go to speak … there’s that crack in my voice.
And then [...]

I can’t stand standing still.

March 6, 2007

I’ve been in a funk lately, and I can’t shake it off. I thought that once I got my tests out of the way, I would feel better–but finishing those just freed me up to focus on everything else that I still have left to do. My life stands on the brink of a major change … [...]

Maximum pink

February 3, 2007

Since DVR came into our lives, I rarely ever watch commercials anymore. Even when we watch television live, rather than working through our humongous queue, Jon will come up with excuses to pause the show several times so that he has room to fast forward through commercials later.
But last night, it was just Maddie and I watching [...]

A little tip from me to you … because I care

January 22, 2007

When visiting hotmail at work, you should really try to avoid transposing any of the letters in the address. Because www.homtail.com is really not the site you want to have up when your boss comes over to ask you how that project is coming along.

March of the Emperors

Hee!

Saturday Photo Hunt — Technology

January 13, 2007

This photo was taken from the Chicago River (by Jon. my pictures never come out this good). It’s kind of cool to watch the bridges open up to let the boats pass through. I liked this picture for this week because it has so many examples of technology … the boats, the bridges, the towering [...]
