the weekend is over and another work week looms before me filled with stuff that needs to be done, but not really stuff i want to be doing.
i feel aimless, discontent, unsatisfied. it’s as though i’m wasting time. i had two whole days of no work to do and i did nothing. is this [...]

i just finished watching “Sixteen Candles.” this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. i really dug the whole brat pack triple header– “Breakfast Club,” Sixteen Candles,” and “St. Elmo’s Fire.”
seeing this movie through adult eyes, i realize just what a fairy tale it is. i mean really, would any guy go [...]

since i thought my netflix movies weren’t going to arrive until monday i decided i was gonna go to the actual video store and rent some DVDs. but then i was at target and i saw that they had a high school reunion bundle containing “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles.” like every good denizen [...]

for those of you who may or may not be curious about what the artguy and i e-mail about all day long, here’s a brief excerpt. oh aren’t you some lucky darling ones seeing the very inside private e-mail of the internet’s sweetheart?

the artguy is a man i work with. we’ve been engaging in this incredibly fun e-mail dialog since about november. before that, he was just the enigmatic artguy who never spoke to anyone. i didn’t know anything about him except for his name. we never spoke, at all. but now we e-mail and it’s great [...]

i was at target today, looking for good stuff to get the peanut for his birthday (which we are celebrating tomorrow). sister #3 had requested long-sleeved shirts, and it seems the only long-sleeved shirts target had for little boys were super femme looking. so i shopped about in the toddler clothes and it seems everything [...]

my new bag (which i got from the much-adored TTHM) is quite the rage here in softwareland, and not just because i make webboy compliment it every day when i get here. my female coworkers have all complimented me on the swankiness of the bag. i so love it. i think i might even [...]

today was one of those perfectly normal fabulous days where nothing goes wrong and everything just seems so normal you can’t help but feel happy and content.
i had dinner with my BFF and redheaded jakey and that was a blast. i got to talk to darlingjason and e-mail the artguy. i e-mailed some of [...]

i’ve been trying to listen to one song all day long, at least all the way through– rod stewart’s “you wear it well.” i’m a rod stewart kind of a mood. but i can’t seem to listen to the song without being interrupted. it’s one of those days when i remember why i like working [...]

you know what i need? i need a little side action thing like alison from bluishorange has. so then i could just tell you in a few lines about how i think jet’s song “cold hard bitch” is super sexxy what with the crashing guitars and shaking hips line and all. and it just seem [...]

the windchill factor is -31 this morning. i’m wearing more clothes than even i thought possible. i’m also electric. everytime i move my arms the static electricity crackles from my sweatshirt and sweater pulling away from each other. it’s actually a lot cooler than i’m making it out to be.

after a night filled with strange dreams about watching tornadoes, cutting my niece’s hair, the mall, and finding out my friend allison was not engaged to her current fiancee rather another co-worker (i chalk it all up to weird work anxiety dreams), i have found myself singing former-frontman of journey, steve perry’s “oh shery” constantly [...]

mr. furley just stopped by. he’s handing out public notices from the PLPD and the management company who owns this building. it’s about drug use and if we get caught they can evict us. which since i don’t do drugs, i really don’t care.
apparently some of my fellow apartment dwellers are a little more upset, [...]

it’s not a secret that i’m passionate about books. i read constantly. books have been my one constant companion since childhood where i grew too fast and too much to ever really fit in. books were an escape from the reality i didn’t enjoy so much. even now, when i’ve read so many books, begun [...]

i figured out what the problem was, i’m feeling less than. yes, less than like the symbol in math. i was less than a good worker today because i bitched incessantly about a bothersome coworker and because something i wrote garnered a letter from a lawyer (though it wasn’t really my fault, i still took [...]
