I am alive.
I know Diane and a few others wondered if I had dropped off the planet. I went to see Spiderman 3 on the Friday it opened and while I was in the theater, bored out of my mind by the bad acting and ridiculous storyline and badly formed characters, I started coughing. The [...]

I have not yet unpacked.

This morning as I was opening the curtains and blind in my bedroom so Mac wouldn’t spend her entire day in relative darkness, my mini-blind decided to commit suicide. I’ve seen my fair share of broken mini-blinds, but this was a new one. Somehow, the strings that attach into the top housing part at three [...]

Over the Memorial Day weekend, my mom and I finally finished the painting of the room formerly known as my bedroom, which is on its way to becoming my mom’s office/sewing room.
Way back in March of 2005, the room appeared as it had for years, except there used to be more things on the walls, [...]

Coming for your mid-season replacement delight from FOX.
Nevermind. Fox already cancelled that.
I was nearly ready to just cancel this whole thrice-attempted post, but I decided to give it the “pictures are worth…” treatment since I’d already cropped, resized, and uploaded.

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.

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, [...]

I made an actual decision regarding my life.
I’m going to move. But not out of town or change jobs. That’s for other people to deal with right now. I am going to move into the condo I posted about last week. Rachel will be my new roommate, hopefully by Dec. 1. I called my current [...]

Parts of this entry have been rattling around in my head since Monday, but I get these weird blocks and come up with all these excuses why not to post things. Its my avoidance. If I don’t post about it, it doesn’t really exist to be dealt with.
Its come to this. After more than five [...]

As we’re now closer to this weekend than to last weekend, time to update what I did last weekend. My mom’s birthday was last Thursday and what she wanted for her gift was my help with her next home renovation project. Namely turning my old bedroom into her new office/sewing room. So I took Friday [...]
