this one hurts. jim walsh is leaving the pioneer press for a year. i am crushed. walsh is like my idol and the only reason i read the pioneer press. now i’m not sure what i’m going to do.
god, today blows so many giant donkey balls it’s incomprehensible.
(thanks for the tip fredonia)

when i showed kari the uma picture she sorta laughed. she didn’t think i could cut it. before the end of the day she admitted she was wrong and that the hair was cute. now you can judge for yourself:
pretending to be amelie
baby got bangs
uma hair
more uma hair

after much calculation and configuring, counting and recounting, i’m pretty sure my menstrual cycle is like 28 days exactly. i think this is very important information for a woman of 30 to finally figure out. not that regularity really matters at the moment since i haven’t had sex in 11 months and 350 days.
but [...]

booya! i have cute new uma-type hair and i love it!

hapiness is deciding at 8 a.m. that you need a haircut and calling the hair cutter at 8:30 and having an appointment at noon.
yay! i will be cute most of this day.

so the entire damn state has come down with golfmania, and i just don’t get it. it’s GOLF! thousands of people are going out to chaska to see the PGA thing. pure insanity. my friends have all gone ga-ga for it, and these are usually sane people.
sister #4 is being dragged out there today [...]

1.) i’ve been up for 25 minutes and just realized that i don’t have to go to work.
2.) someday if i ever get a boyfriend i hope you all read about it and feel a little ping of jealousy that he got me and you didnt (because i do that all the time when i [...]

oh my am i full of piss and vinegar today. i think it was the morning commute. it took me over 30 minutes for the last five miles of my journey. yeah, that got me real hopped up and it seems to have spilled over into the day.
i’m just on a tear today. i [...]

wow, i thought for sure i’d be skewered for that last post. i find it oddly reassuring that people actually agree with me.

i am growing increasingly tired of people proclaiming to be things merely because they think it’s cool or because that’s what they want to be.
specifically i’m talking about people who proclaim to be writers and designers. the frustration comes because everyone with a pen thinks they are a writer and everyone with photoshop and frontpage [...]

as i was coming out of the curve on pioneer trail, quickly approaching highway 212, snoopy loomed before me larger than life.
i was a bit taken aback. i’d never seen a blimp in real life before. at least, not one hovering 10 feet off the ground. but there it was the met life blimp waiting [...]

in cleaning news, odin is missing. i think he might be jammed under the couch. deep, deep under the couch. odin is my purple and red dragon. usually he lives on top of my printer with the sergeant pepper cabbage patch figurine and the red bunny m&m. of course, odin is my favorite.
but, in [...]

cleaning, not fun.
hanging out with cute orange haired boys, fun.
laundry, not fun
hanging out with cute orange haired best friend, fun.
work, sometimes not fun.
happy hour with favoritest colleagues, fun.
there you have my itinerary for tonight through sunday.

i had a few problems sleeping last night. it might have been all the nappy napping i did or it could have been the thoughts racing through my brain at the speed of light or perhaps it was the beautiful, haunting short story i had just finished. regardless, there was no sleeping to be had. [...]

i bought new silverware. currently, i have enough silverware that i don’t have to do dishes for weeks. but i hate the silverware and the knives all have these queer rusty spots on them. i am going to throw away that old silverware.
also, because the silverware wasn’t quite enough i bought $74 worth of crap [...]
