The times, they are a changin’

November 22nd, 2005 · 2 Comments

My brain is a thousand places. Since I don’t really embrace change all that well, I’ve opted for the rip-the-bandaid-off-quickly method of changing residences. As in I scheduled my move for next Monday, while I’m gone for four out of the next seven days. No time to think! Just pack! And look for boxes.
The last [...]

3 things that are related only because they annoy me…

Whoever keeps calling my cellphone from an unlisted number looking for some person named “Raven.” No she doesn’t live here. Its my cellphone, it lives nowhere.
My co-worker who’s daily impression of a 1950’s typing pool makes me want to march over and take a hammer to his fingers. You’re a graphic designer for goodness sake, [...]

3 unconnected thoughts

This is the time of year when weathermen start to lie. All this talk of 1″-2″ of accumulation yesterday and what did I wake up to today? Nada. Just a dusting of snow that accumulates in the street corners and sidewalk cracks. I want real snow. I want an excuse to order those fun boots [...]

Book 40: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

Book 39 : The Pleasure of My Company

November 15th, 2005 · 1 Comment

I selected this audiobook from my library on the basis of three things. First, that I have heard a lot of buzz about the new movie Shopgirl starring Steven Martin and based on his novel of the same name. Second, that I saw Steve Martin receive the Mark Twain Prize on PBS one evening [...]

I just don’t deal with change well

November 14th, 2005 · 3 Comments

This past weekend was a blur coupled with me out on the edge of sanity. 50% of it caused by my impending move. The other 50% caused by my cat.
Friday night I headed to my mom’s house right after work, with Mac in tow and an audiobook in the CD player. We had some pizza, [...]

Book 38: The Myth of You and Me

November 10th, 2005 · 2 Comments

Sometimes ads on webpages are actually useful. Until I updated my Adblock extension in Firefox, I was still seeing some ads on the highly snarky Fugging It Up from time to time. One of these ads was for this book by Leah Stewart, The Myth of You and Me and the blurb was something [...]

MeeVee.com : could it be anymore for me?

November 9th, 2005 · 1 Comment

MeeVee.com is an online TV planner that is nearly everything I’ve been looking for in a tv scheduling website for, well, a long time. I used to use tv.yahoo.com but some has been amiss with that site for awhile in that when I would try to add a show to my yahoo calendar, it would [...]
