On The Subject of Guitar Hero / Rock Band:
I cannot be alone in feeling that the only thing that keeps me from being a musician is my lack of instruments. If I only owned a guitar, I could learn how to play it well in a week. If I only had a drum kit, people from across town would want to hang out in my garage while I jammed. If I only had a ( Read more... ) -
2.12.09 - More questions than answers
2Girls1Book met last night and, while we sipped (read: chugged) our coffees and lightly (read: loudly) mocked the strangers in the coffee shop, we debated life's great unanswerable questions.
On the subject of Job: we don't get it.
Okay, first of all, I maintain that Job is a book full o'whining (and who wants to read that).
Also, they say that his ( Read more... ) -

Happy February!
I am back at work today after an extended sickness (and feeling much better, thank you). I guess I always hope, somewhere in my heart, that things will change by the time I come back. So far, no. But it's alright...I missed John and kind of Scott and almost Bill.
The book club recently decided that since we are both too poor to keep ( Read more... ) -

Okay, for those who don't work with me, here's a little doggie news. I came home from work Thursday night and found Bella walking stiffly at first, then limping shortly thereafter. She wasn't interested in her food or any of her tasty treats; she ( Read more... ) -
1.22.09 - A Day That Will Live in Infamy
License Plates: I have a love/hate relationship with personalized license plates or, "vanity plates". Take, for example, the plate I stared down this morning:
AFIRMN
Now, there are a few things she can be trying to tell me here. Perhaps she likes saying "Yes", and she says it so often that she is constantly "affirming". Or perhaps she is a black ( Read more... ) -
What happened to Lee & Jackson?

It's MLK Jr. Day. Don't you think he would have burst at the seams to know that tomorrow America is going to have a black president? If he was still alive, I bet he would have died the minute they counted the votes.
Ryan just informed me that Obama will be sealed in plastic for tomorrow's festivities--2 inch plastic that they hope is ( Read more... ) -

My birthday has come and gone and I, mostly, have just this to say:
What an embarrassment to have your phone service shut off on your birthday---the ONE day out of the year when everyone you have ever met seeks you out by telephone to wish you well. Everyone I know was greeted with this sound "The person you have called is unavailable right now. ( Read more... ) -

Here I am again, at work--like a chump.
My birthday is the 14th--that's 8 days. Nothing exciting planned, and I think this is the first year that I didn't feel it brewing on the horizon. Guess I'm officially getting old, huh?
Not much of anything is going right today. I did not want to get out of bed this morning and I was dragging my feet getting ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Starting Out Fresh
New Years Day was spent at Kenny's, mostly. We slept in and didn't get out of bed until something like 10am. We watched Street Kings (starring Keanu Reeves). ( And.. )
