Handle With Care (aka I'm Too Old for This Sh*t)
I'm too old for this blog. I was talking to a resident three years my junior today when he mentioned that his 20 year-old cousin had asked him if he blogged ( Read more... ) -
Reality Dating Game Show Scenario
My ideal date began with a full day of work. That's right, work. I'm not one for having the usual prep time ogling in front of the mirror at home. Sail into the date wearing scrubs, I say. Scrubs and a grubby sweatshirt to ward off the cold. That's the way of it. That's the ideal ( Read more... ) -
%#$&ing Wicked Awesome! REALLY.
I just wrote an amazing entry. Really. It was wicked awesome, which also happened to be the subject title. And the concluding paragraph. Really. It was amazing, and LJ ate it.

W.o.W.
I don’t know about you, but I had a great holiday. The sort you just know you’ll pay for in spades. And after nearly two years all but entirely free from video games, I rediscovered my addiction during the two weeks before the new year. It began with Madden NFL for the Xbox, which then exploded into the wonderful World of Warcraft ( Read more... )
