on a moment to honor CNN on 9/11
As I was walking in to work this morning I saw the cafe downstairs showing CNN as it usually does. This morning it was airing news about the 9/11 remembrance in DC this morning. As per usual, the news about what's going on in DC, which I have no problem with.
I know it's been 8 years since the attacks, but I must say I'm rather pleased with the ( Read more... ) -
on thank me daddy
I've loved this song for years and, to this day, love it a lot more than I should. I have no idea what it's about or what the message is, but it contains nicotine and therefore I can't say no.

on my new Gwen Stefani/Fergie song
This is a little piece I wrote a la Fergie Ferg or Gwen Stefani. There are to be many hand claps and drum beats. Not to mention a sassy music video ( Read more... ) -
on two thoughts that don't match
I officially started studying for the GMAT last night. It doesn't seem like it will be too painful (easy to say at the start); the only thing that feels weird is the fact that I've not had to study in, oh, three years. It feels weird.
I also had this really calming feeling come over me as I sat in my apartment reading. For the first time it ( Read more... ) -
on it's my party
Tonight I'm having what could loosely be called a housewarming party. I know, I've been in my apartment since May. ANYWAY, this feels like a bit of an unveiling of my secret shame . . . I mean, how I live my life.
Since Narissa is in town this weekend (the reason I scheduled it for tonight), I invited people I know she and I are both friends with ( Read more... ) -
on a moment to appreciate Buffy.
Buffy's plight: just because you kill one vampire doesn't mean your fight is over. They will come back. You get a moment of peace, true, but they will come back. You have to go on living your life to keep your sanity. They want to be invited in. They will try with all their might to be invited in. Just keep your annoying little sister away ( Read more... ) -
on sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows
I have a friend, let’s call her by code-name Z, whom I adore yet make fun of incessantly. She’s a delightful and very nice young lady, but has this tendency to enjoy activities and items that one would enjoy if they were, say, a stereotypical lady-lover. She claims that you don’t have to be such to enjoy these things, yet I disagree ( Read more... ) -
on records
For the record, Blondie is amazing.
For the record, Pat Benatar wails.
For the record, your father can be a very good wingman.
For the record, hiking a mountain in flip-flops will result in injury.
For the record, tequila is still not my friend. -
on a conception that happens to be immaculate
Flashback to 11th grade: I suffered from nausea almost constantly and couldn't hold down a single meal for almost an entire schoolyear. Every day I went to school anxious yet still my happy self. I was certain I had a food allergy. My doctor was certain I was pregnant. Turns out it was anxiety ( Read more... ) -
on masochism in elevator rides
There are certain rules to etiquette that most everyone does or at least should follow. One such rule is that when entering an elevator, the nearest person to the door enters first. Men sometimes override this rule by allowing a woman standing farther away to enter first. Allowing someone to go before you is an acceptable practice so long as the ( Read more... )
