After doing the recession thing (not getting my hair cut for over 2 months, instead of my usual 6 weeks), I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my hair.  I've had it short for quite a while (about a year and a half, and probably the majority of the time since 10th grade), and it seems like my kind of style.  However, I recently saw a ( Read more... )

It was about 3:30 this afternoon, and I was trying to decide what to do tonight, when a coworker called and asked me to cover her shift. I'm glad I did, as it was an amusing evening.

First, a couple came in and bought tons of stuff. They paid with a merchandise credit card for a random large amount like $138.15. Now, cards like that are rarely ( Read more... )

Well, I am terrible about updating this.  I feel bad.  I haven't kept up with my LJ friends, either!  I'll post more later, but for now... I have a full-time job, and I'm in Indy, and yeah... more later!

I've had this blog for 7.5 years now.

First of all, I'm curious who still reads it.  I think my long hiatus during the campaign may have sent the message this was dead.  That's exactly what I was afraid of!

Also, I want to start a more "professional" blog that's less about my personal life and more commentary on our culture.  It might be an asset to ( Read more... )

Any January 4th in my life won't have to try too hard to avoid being my worst.  It could be a garden-variety crappy day and it wouldn't have to worry.  In 1998, this was the day we found out my mom had a malignant brain tumor.  In 2008, this was the day my former best friends drove the last nail into the coffin of our friendship.  And I started to ( Read more... )

As far as I can tell (although I haven't really read much about him), Nostramadus's predictions were written so loosely that you can read all sorts of things into them, and you can read them after something happens and make it fit with something he wrote.  It's a lot like the Bible, in my opinion. People just interpret it to say what they want it ( Read more... )
