So on my way home, I came across a woman driving the wrong way down Gay St. I understand that navigating downtown can be tricky for those unfamiliar with the area. The one way streets with improper lighting or missing/obstructed signs can be confusing, sure. But Gay St is a 4-lane thoroughfare. With double yellow lines. And stop lights. And ( Read more... )

Hooray for Fridays! I have an entertaining weekend ahead of me. Tomorrow Casey, Darby & I will be going to see Julie & Julia, followed by dinner. Then, we shall venture to the Bijou to catch a double feature. Yes, folks that is 3 (THREE) movies in one day. We may be crazy even to attempt it. But, we must. The Bijou is showing Princess ( Read more... )

Mormons! They frightened Griz, but now they're gone. Thus concludes the most eventful part of my day. Now back to the Golden Girls marathon on the Hallmark channel and maybe a little Animal Crossing ( Read more... )

This month at work has just been poo. Luckily, it's almost over. Friday I can start another month of poo. They have been freaking out about the economy and instituting some changes that are hard to deal with. I was having this conversation with a coworker today. It's not the changes in particular (which I think are both sensible and warranted ( Read more... )

Man, I was busy as a little bee this weekend. Yesterday, I went to the office for a couple hours. After that I had an appointment to get my hair did. That was awesome as my bangs are not all in my face now. The rest of the day I spent being super productive on household chores - laundry, dishes and the like. While I was washing dishes my mom & ( Read more... )

I think there are birds in my attic.

Today is my birthday! Boo to birthdays on wednesdays, but yay that I got to spend the day with Casey! I took the day off because..well who wants to work on their birthday? Hells no. Plus, I have ridiculous amounts of paid time off. So we went to see I Love You, Man with Paul Rudd <3 & Jason Segal. I definitely recommend. It was funny and sweet ( Read more... )

Okay, I did get sick. Boo. I'm mostly better, now. But, I do have quite a persistent cough. I've been through nearly a whole box of Mucinex now, and still it keeps hanging on. Last night Casey, Darby & I went to Einstein Simplified (improv comedy show @ a local saloon). Every chuckle was followed by a series of hems & hacks. Very. Annoying. ( Read more... )

I am not going to get sick! Nope. Not gonna do it. I am so cold all of the time, though. Even at work today when everyone else was burning because the building management cranks the heat up to 800 degrees every afternoon. I had my scarf and pullover on at my desk. I wish they made an electric Snuggie. That'd be sweet ( Read more... )

My advice for the new year is this: try not to get bitten by a snake and/or spider. I was watching this really gross show on Animal Planet last night about people who had managed to get themselves bitten by various poisonous creatures. To summarize: Ew. This is not something you guys want to go through, so please try to avoid it at all costs ( Read more... )
