Happy Halloween

October 31st, 2007 · No Comments

My co-workers have nearly finished off the two dozen extremely sprinkle covered cupcakes I brought in this morning.
I miss getting to dress up or do anything for Halloween so much. I’m such a costume person.
In the continuing series of scanning old photos, I give you me from Halloween 1977 as Casper the Friendly Ghost. [...]

bleh. sick.

October 30th, 2007 · 2 Comments

I wasn’t feeling too hot at work yesterday afternoon, so I came home early and cat-napped part of the afternoon/evening. I was freezing most of the time, despite it being warm in my apartment and me wearing several layers of clothes. I finally warmed up when I went to bed and slept decently, but [...]

the truth is still out there

As my iPod shuffled the song “Mulder and Scully” (a random British pop song from when I lived abroad) into my ears, workJeff™ informed me that the internets were reporting that the next X-Files movie is scheduled to start filming on December 10th.
Oh sweet cinematic happiness. My favorite TV show ever gives me something new [...]

No more days

October 25th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I just folded and turned on the heat in my apartment. It was 65 degrees when I got up this morning and it wasn’t that chilly post-shower. Mac has been looking extra fluffy the last couple of days. Earlier this week, it would be chilly in the morning but have warmed up by the time [...]

no offense to you kids with kids

but this news bite from the IMDB today made me smile:
Theaters Begin Barring Children
Some theater chains have begun barring children from theaters after 8:30 p.m. if they are not accompanied by their parents — in hopes of attracting more adults who are put off by the disruptive behavior of some kids, according to USA Today. [...]

Taking the challenge : NaBloPoMo

October 24th, 2007 · 1 Comment

November is National Blog Posting Month, or NaBloPoMo for semi-short. The idea is simple: post on your blog every day for the month of November.

I’m taking this challenge reasons that are probably unnecessarily complex. My brain seems to be full of ideas and goals that I never share or attempt. I think so much [...]

How many days?

October 23rd, 2007 · 2 Comments

How long can I go before I turn on the heat in my apartment? I love fall. So crispy.
I haven’t touched that dial yet, other than to have the A/C on for about a day earlier this month when it was horribly, unseasonably warm.
This morning there was frost on the car windows of the [...]

It’s my birthday…

October 16th, 2007 · 7 Comments

and I’ll shamelessly post pictures of the day I was born and childhood birthday parties if I want to.

Click on the photo for more pictures of my first few years of birthdays.
Also, Happy Birthday to my favorite musician who was privileged enough to be born a year after me, John Mayer.

More details on the amusing way they found it (still in Coralville at the UPS warehouse without a label, nice) coming soon.
Its been sent on next-day air and should be where it should’ve been all along tomorrow morning. One can only hope.

on notice : UPS

October 8th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Grrr. Arrrgh. Weep.
Last Wednesday, October 3rd, I took a framed item to The UPS Store in Coralville to have shipped to my Uncle Ron for his birthday which is tomorrow. And even that wasn’t easy. I went halfway through my lunch break intending to go to the Mailboxes, Etc. store that is downtown Iowa City [...]
