There's a goddamn hole in my computer screen. A tiny one, about the size of a pencil lead. I don't know how it happened. It wasn't even there earlier today. I just wiped something off the screen and there was this little hole under it. I don't even know what I wiped off; I guess it ate into the screen or maybe I just closed my eyes for ten seconds ( Read more... )

She had wandered, without rule or guidance, into a moral wilderness. Her intellect and heart had their home, as it were, in desert places, where she roamed as freely as the wild Indian in his woods. The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers - stern ( Read more... )

So I haven't updated in about a month, but I doubt any of you have missed reading about the mundane details of my life too much. So let's see...probably the only thing interesting enough to mention since my last update (that I can talk about on the internet, anyway...) is celebrating Dean's and my third anniversary. Everybody together now: awwwwwww ( Read more... )

Well, I knew there was a reason I decided to leave Dean and come home for a week. But what was it? Was it the horribly painful dentist appointment where the dentist got one of those pointy tools stuck in my tooth? Was it getting to listen to my mother badmouth each of our family and community members ceaselessly, in shifts, throughout eternity? Or ( Read more... )

If you haven't seen it already, drop what you're doing and go see Die Hard 4. Even if you have seen it. Go. Right fucking now. This movie will make you feel about 10x more hardcore just by sitting in a theater watching it. It's like a bunch of guys in some studio went, "Hey, let's just throw reality and believability out the window, and just make a ( Read more... )

I am pleased to announce that this entry is being typed on a brand new, sparkly white, 13" Macbook. With a pretty pink case. I've spent the past day and a half putting stuff on it and getting it juuuust right, and man is it awesome. My Dell can now enjoy its pampered life sitting on its little table at home and never having to suffer the indignity ( Read more... )

It's been a pretty good couple of days. Yesterday Dean and I went to Emily K's 21st birthday party at The Chocolate Bar on West Alabama. I had a chocolate chunk cookie and a bottle of whole milk, and then Dean bought me a raspberry truffle. I feel so fat, but that time of the month is nearly upon me and I craaaave chocolate so it felt so good. ( Read more... )

I guess the huge post about vacation is never going to come. I didn't post it when I got back because I was stricken with a mysterious throat illness (I think my body reeeally doesn't like travel), and by now most everybody I know has seen all the pictures and heard all the stories anyway. If you haven't, you can ask me. The stories are mostly too ( Read more... )

So here I am sitting in an airport in Tampa waiting for my flight to leave. Apparently Houston is having ungodly weather and so our flight has been delayed about two hours. SUCK. I'm so uncomfortable from sitting in airport/airplane seats since 8:15 this morning. I didn't want to leave, but now I just want to go home ( Read more... )

My job is so sweet. Like, even better than last summer. Last summer I worked industriously but didn't know what I was doing half the time and if I ever didn't have anything to do I would hide because I didn't have anywhere to hang out really. Now I have a little space and a desk and everything, and I bring my computer to work so I can update my ( Read more... )
