since i wasted the afternoon away gabbing with sister #2, we decided to hit Perkins for dinner and then the Super T. when the waitress came to take our order, Max let out a shriek. “they don’t have corndogs,” he said. “a lot of people are upset,” leah, our waitress said. “what else do you [...]
this here is nolan, he’s almost 2 — star of jaycie and max’s soon-to-be-filmed movie “Nolie’s Motion Picture” (they plan on “Nolie’s Motion Picture 2 to come in 2007, they are just waiting to find a camera that can take videos — jaycie’s the writer and max is the director, they will tell you all [...]
i have fair stories to tell and no time to tell them. at least not yet. it’s only noon and so far i’ve cancelled my electricity, phone & dsl, renter’s insurance, and booked the movers. phew. i’ve hit a moving snafu with the property management company for my apartment. they claim to have never received [...]
the best part of the state fair is all the horrible and horribly bad for you food. i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again, how can you not love a place where it’s not only socially acceptable, but downright expected, to eat a corndog and drink a beer before noon? god, i love [...]
one of the things i hope to see today while at the fair is the Princess Kay of the Milky Way carved in butter. It’s a tradition, even the new york times dug. there’s even a slideshow.
today i will be off enjoying the great minnesota get together with the family. as you read this, i am already there. it’s the magic of the internets. we have to gather at the parents’ house at 7:30. which is going to be hard for me, because i usually don’t even roll out of bed [...]
going to the bank this afternoon will be the most exciting thing i do today. why? how could going to the bank be exciting? well, i’m cashing in my change. this makes me giddy and a little sad. i had two banks (the superman one i got from wendy and the superman bucket i got [...]
click for an annotated version i took the bulletin board down. i’m not sure if it’s going to go back up at the new place. this bulletin board has sat on the wall above my desk since about 1996. now, i think my desk will look out a window. it will be a big adjustment. [...]
like an archaeologist i keep digging through the strata in my life. however, unlike the archaeologist, the longer i dig the newer stuff i find. the old stuff i attack first, that’s easier. so long removed it’s hard to feel anything but warm nostalgia. but i realized everything from 1995 to the present can still [...]
wednesday night sister #4 and i went to Turtles located in lovely downtown Shakopee (soon to be the hometown of Supergenius, Inc). before i dropped her off, we decided to drive past St. Mark’s Church and gawk. it’s a beautiful Catholic Church a block away from the house Sisters #3 & #4 grew up in. [...]
i’ve never been much for team sports. i mean, really, there’s no I in TEAM and i’m all about me (ok, that’s not true at all, i wasn’t much for team sports because i was the too tall fat booknerd, but that doesn’t fit my analogy). well today i discovered that in the team that [...]
i found word count via bookslut and when i typed in jodi, roland was at the end. you know what that means?
it was bound to happen, the stress of work and living and moving and the endless boundless packing were going to get to me. and it just did. i’m done. DONE! i can’t even open my mouth for fear of the noxious bile that might spew from it burning and maiming the people around me [...]
the second to last time he was here, the show sold out before i could get tickets. the last time he was here my dad landed in the hospital, so i missed the show. but this time he can escape me and the laser beams of lust i will be shooting from my eyes as [...]
ok, if you get hit with some sort of weird Google Talk e-mail, it’s from me. I added every gmail i had to my google talk list and then y’all appeared as invited. so i don’t know if that means you’re getting some sort of e-mail invite or not. but you should totally download it [...]
