God I would have loved to have used “Monster Mash” as my wedding dance song ( Read more... )

Sorry to disappoint LJ readers out there in Information Superhighway Land, but I just done recycled this story from a Facebook note that I wrote a few nights ago, though I swear I meant to post it here first, honest! Anyway, for those without the benefit of Facebook (where you read such rousing status updates as, "Ready for weekend!!!!1") here's a ( Read more... )

It’s been a boring lackluster weekend thus far, which is pitiful since I have two more days off still. Recently our hours at work have been cut in half, so I’m now working three-day workweeks, so you can imagine how the paychecks are looking nowadays. I’ve been looking elsewhere for work but haven’t been successful thus far. It’s only slightly ( Read more... )

Behind her there was a giant sign ( Read more... )

There’s this dog that lives in the apartment adjacent to ours. Bethany and I have decided to call her (Beth insists it’s a female though I still need to check) “porch dog” since that’s where she spends most of her time in this 100+ degree Texas heat. Occasionally her owners, a younger couple, will put her in a kennel outside on the front doorstep, ( Read more... )

So I’ve been having a text message argument with my sister since 9PM last night and it seems to have stopped only a few minutes ago. I wanted to make this brief but in order to understand the ridiculousness of the situation there is some back-story involved. Come along with me, won’t you ( Read more... )

Facebook's status updates have ruined my ability to actually make lengthy Livejournal entries. Every time I think of a story to tell, I try to think of a way to tell it in one or two sentences ( Read more... )

I have no words for you, Michael Bay, just unequivocal anger.
