Girls are funny, because they do goofy stuff like bring up something that they know is going to lead to you asking more questions, and then they back off and get all, "I don't really wanna talk about it." And by girls I mean J. And by bringing up stuff I mean a time when she was in Bangladesh and some dude that was her coworker hit on her and she ( Read more... )

You know that Burger King commercial where they take hidden video of customer reaction when they tell them that they're no longer selling Whoppers? I think that folks have more passion about their fast food than they do about the world around them. One woman looked on the verge of tears about it, but I bet she doesn't bat an eyelash about Darfur or ( Read more... )

My love affair with Cowon and their media products may be coming to an end. My A2 is starting to be a real POS. I've only had it for about 3 months, and I don't use it outside of the car generally, so it's not like it's rattling around in my backpack or something, and it's been giving me some real playback headaches. It does this really odd thing ( Read more... )

It's almost the end of December. We haven't discussed any of the scary, very real details of what's due to happen. There's a lot to be worked out. I think for my part at least, I'm seriously in denial. Yeah. Like not planning's going to make it not happen. That wasn't even a proper sentence. See how frazzled I am ( Read more... )

And I use the term "liberal" loosely because I don't feel like I can confidently say that I stand ( Read more... )

We were supposed to spend Xmas with J's family this year as part of our new swapping holidays agreement, but since we went out to SF to celebrate Thanksgiving/her grandmother's 85th birthday, my family gets us for Xmas again this year. It's a blessing and a curse really ( Read more... )

Decisions are still pending. We had a talk about it, over sushi. Sushi is a good talk it over meal. Anyway, we talked about it and I feel like shit because she feels like shit. In short, we both feel like shit. She feels like shit because she knows I don't want to do either option, and it hurts her to think that she's hurting me. I feel like shit ( Read more... )

Or ch-ch-ch-changes. Take your pick. Either way it spells unease and scariness for yours truly ( Read more... )

J found an iPod Nano on the ground outside the post office this evening when she went to drop off her newly-sold Ebay items. It was even still playing. She decided that the best thing to do to get it back to its rightful owner would be to put in an Express Mail envelope and prop it up outside the Employees Only door next to the counter ( Read more... )
