Right now I am so excited I can hardly stand it, and it was seemingly such a very small thing that started it. First, a little history. I was a teenager in the 80s, which was a great time to be a teenager IMHO. My music came on large black vinyl disks which were safely ensconced in cardboard covers that often were adorned with some of the great and ( Read more... )

Okay so yesterday the anticipation of the big news made the morning just drag by. When I got back from lunch I could hardly contain myself. What cool bit of alien technology would Apple be thrusting upon us this time, making me salivate all over my keyboard? I clicked my Safari button, hardly able to contain myself...a friend had told me about ( Read more... )

Wow I didn't realize it had been that long since I've posted here. I'm only slightly more active on Facebook. Anyway, so that last post I posted back in October. The weather continued to trend cold to the point where we had a true white Christmas for the first time since I was small. In fact it wasn't just a white one but a full-on blizzard that ( Read more... )

It's cold tonight. And windy. I never like how it happens...was only a week ago I was in short sleeves and flip flops. And now tonight feels like it will never be warm again this year. Tonight, when I got home, I stood out in front of my house in the cool, blustery Fall air, gazed up at the nearly full moon and contemplated the purpose of my ( Read more... )

Wow I have been really neglecting my Secret Underground Base lately. When I have been internetting it's been on Facebook. So anyway the reasons for my absence are many and varied. For one thing, it's Summer. There's a whole "outside" thing going on. Yeah. So back at the beginning of June my friends and I were preparing for the medieval camping trip ( Read more... )

Okay so I haven't had much to post about lately. I've been loaned out on rotation to a different department and it's like being on vacation. I get to clean up and vectorize scanned surface design patterns from our archives. And I get to color them too. Very fun. Last week the Hall's department store sold of tons of visual merchandising stuff, ( Read more... )

Wow it's been a while since I've updated and have quite a bit I need to document. One month ago on a Wednesday I was struggling with a terrible cough but getting ready to settle in for a night of Ghost Hunters. I was getting ready to get down on the floor where I sometimes like to watch tv. In the process I coughed just once when suddenly it felt ( Read more... )

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, but nothing really interesting has happened to me in a while. On Valentine's Day my friends and I went to the roller derby and a couple of days later I caught the plague. Simultaneously, the plague seemed to ravage the rest of the city. Then it spread around the rest of the country, because everyone in all of my ( Read more... )
