Cruise into retirement
I receive several cruise-related e-newsletters, and I love checking out itinerary and prices even though I know I won't be embarking on a cruise any time soon. This morning, I was reading up on the Queen Mary 2, and the newsletter mentioned the woman who has been living there for the past few years. Now, I've gotten that email before about how ( Read more... ) -
Debates that aren't really debates
Unlike the majority of America, I didn't start watching last night's debate expecting a face-plant debacle on behalf of Sarah Palin. I wouldn't say I had high expectations either, especially after the first Presidential debate. I've never really watched the debates before, the last time they were held I was in college and didn't really watch ANY ( Read more... ) -
My new favorite website
I've been following election coverage mostly through Google News, I typically hate listening to politicians (on both sides) speak, but I like reading what reporters have to say about their speeches. On my latest stroll through the news world I stumbled upon this wonderful website: http://www.factcheck.org/. It's a non-partisan website that ( Read more... ) -
Chuck Norris has nothing on Jason Lezak
Jason Lezak only swims through the water because he considers walking on top of it too pretentious. Jason Lezak taught Moses how to turn water into blood - using French swimmers for examples.

Good Karaoke Songs
So it occurred to me that there's always that moment when you're in a karaoke bar and have run out of obvious songs to sing. I had a written list at one point, but like most little pieces of paper in my life it's long gone. What better place to keep a list than on LJ? It's something that's easy to add to, so hopefully I'll have some Eureka moments ( Read more... ) -
The 8 Thing Employees Want
I received an email newsletter from a website that specializes in part-time job listings. No idea how I came to be on their list, though I think it gets sent to the generic email address for my work. They had a rather interesting list of the top 8 things employees want out of their jobs. The surprising thing is that money is nowhere on the list. No ( Read more... ) -
Are you serious?
On my way to work this morning (I ride a bus), I notice a sweet convertible a few lanes over. It was a black Lexus of some sort, probably worth more than I make in a year. I took a few moments pause from the newspaper to admire its lines and and comfy-looking interior, when I noticed the license plate ( Read more... ) -
I keep forgetting
I keep forgetting I have this blog. I really need to remember, because I keep thinking of awesome blog topics and never actually doing anything with them....

products vs. services
Have you ever noticed that we lump together products and services as if they were the same thing? In reality they're quite different animals, or at least we treat them as such. I was ruminating on this mundane topic the other day when my car needed fixing. When it comes to auto mechanics, the large chains usually cost more than the small 'mom and ( Read more... )
