I just cleaned my house, sans toilet and vanity. I guess I can't even quantify what I've done as cleaning, but more as "light touch-ups," whatever that means. I've done the light work as we are indulging a house guest for the next three weeks to a month, and it promises to be engaging or, at the very least, mildly infuriating. I have high hopes for ( Read more... )

What the hell does "Terminally Hip" even mean? I suppose one must be so cool, he/she will have to die because of it. How's that for life's funny little joke? "You there, dress fashionably, dress well! But do not dress too fashionably, or I will have to kill you for upstaging me!"

I'm too tired for sanity.

I am completely bummed because Sunday night is nearing to a close, but I have yet to start grading my day's workload of papers, which will only take me a mere two hours, but come on, a mere two hours I sinfully need to do nothing! Sometimes I hate my chosen profession with the fiery rage of 2,000 men and a donkey. In other news, I'm due for a ( Read more... )

there is no truth. Either that, or I am so adversely afraid of telling anyone the truth of my life that I tell the biggest and best lies with only a naked eye and a toothless grin. See, another lie. I have my teeth. No naked eyes -- they are always shielded by something. This week it is grounded metal.

Stolen from Miss Genevieve.

I spent yesterday evening avoiding a drunken stupor (successfully, I might add) and caught some bands. I've decided that without a wristband you can brave SXSW, but it will kick you in the ass because once you are in a club, you can never leave... Yes, my friends, that is a little known fact about the robotic magnetism of SXSW. On the plus side, I ( Read more... )

If someone had a right nice cup of tea to give me, I would be ever so pleased. I have spent the majority of my day grappling with a computer system from hell, better known as WINDOWS. My advice to those out there who sway with the gentle breeze is to NEVER install a new motherboard unless you have a brain trap made of steel or wish for madness to ( Read more... )

As much as I have tried to avert my horrid mind from a collision course of disaster, it appears imminent and dangerously cosmic. My horoscope alerted me to something called veraison, which refers to the unpredictable ripening of grapes, and it makes me wonder about the events that will spur my own ultra-ripening. That sounds too much like a ( Read more... )

I have completely geeked out! I am in my damned hotel room and I have discovered internet tv! For sure I probably will not be leaving my hotel room tonight. Whatever, Milwaukee really doesn't seem that cool anyway. All the inhabitants do have that weird Mid-western/Fargo-ian accent though, which makes for really weird run-ins with people. At the ( Read more... )

For some unknown reason, an Alamo Drafthouse employee decided tonight would be the night of reckoning and quite properly slapped me in the face on my way to the restroom. Though she apologized profusely, I couldn't quite help but notice a faint glimmer of glee in her eye. "Aha," I thought, "so this is the sweet dulcimer of revenge," but muttered ( Read more... )
