Heh. I was just responding to a giant whack of e-mails that came my way. This should come to a surprise to everyone, because as most know I am the worst e-mail responder in the entire universe. Okay, the second worst. Ol’ Vodo is the first worst.
Anyway, it reminded me of one of the conversations [...]
P.S. I almost forgot
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
You should probably just play the video while reading this post. Once you get the soundtrack going, you can start imaging a darkened meeting room filled with white boards, office chairs, a rolling TV cart, and eight of my favorite co-workers. Also, the room reeks of gyros.
Ok, got that? Now add all 6′5″ of me [...]
modern dilemmas of someone who never gets laid
Johnny Depp on Letterman at the same time that John Cusack was on Leno. What’s a girl to do? Rock the picture in picture.
really, we’re not nerdy enough
I just called our bridge number for a conference call, and I’m on hold. The hold music? The theme from Star Wars. Geez.
Weep Wednesday
Between writing birthday greetings for Sister #3 and reading about the man who saved a stranger’s life, I’m just a big weepy mess.
Want to know how happy I am to not work for the next 12 days? This is how happy I am.
my wallet is back in the safe confines of my bag. you can all rest easy.
also, SIX MORE DAYS until my birthday.
the love ‘em and leave ‘em girl
today, on my way home from work, i fell in love. it was love at first site. i was getting all prepared to do my passive-aggressive minnesota swear and say bad things about him, when the little black s10 passed me on highway 18. but then i got a glimpse at the back of the [...]

rigorous scientific studies
yesterday, seamus approached me slinking lil slink back and forth between his fingers.
“the minion forgot lil slink,” i said.
“yep,” he said. “i kinda like lil.”
“it doesn’t have the same slink as big slink,” i said. “there’s no way lil could walk downstairs alone or in pairs.”
“but it does make that slinkity sound,” he said.
“well, not [...]
i named my cat after this man
i just learned that today is my absolute favorite dead president’s birthday! yes, today is the birthday of James Madison. oh, how i loved this man.
from the the writer’s almanac:
It’s the birthday of the fourth president of the United States, James Madison, born in Port Conway, Virginia (1751). He did more than almost any [...]
and suddenly the weight was lifted from my shoulders and the blindfold taken from my eyes and there was light, glorious light.
so i don’t know what in the hell has happened. perhaps there’s been a cosmic shift in the universe. maybe some planet is in the proper house in my chart. maybe it’s the Ides [...]
uh huh oh yeah all right
guess who just got an e-mail out of the big wide blue from sweet sweet rob?
it was me.
it’s valentine’s day. my most-favorite holiday of them all. sure, sure i know everyone calls it a made-up hallmark holiday. but, as much as i want to deny it and be a bitter jaded harpie, i am a big schmoopy romantic. i’d say deep deep down under all my bitter crustiness. but that’d be a [...]
ight ight ight ipple and banighnighs
for reasons that remain a mystery to me i woke up this morning with a Barney song stuck in my head. it’s the apples and bananas song. the one that goes “i like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas.” and then you go through and switch out the different vowel sounds through each verse [...]
