I, a lucky girlTo have so great a boyfriend -Stay away, bitches.
And so I once again taint the beautiful art form that is the haiku.  I am so very sorry, I just can’t help myself.  Besides, the above?  Is so very true.  I am having a positive girly moment right now.  Allow me that, won’t [...]

Good Haul

Excuse the oh-so-crappy formatting on the pictures and text.  TypePad is most definitely not WYSIWYG.  Anyway, I got a good haul this year – I’m such a gadget-laden woman nowadays!  I knew I was getting the camera and socks, sort of knew I was getting the shirt (I was thinking about buying it in white [...]

“Oh, Looks Like Rain, I Can Feel It in My Bones . . .”

To quote someone who is older than me (and will always be older than me – I’ll be pushing him around in a wheelchair on road trips): I’m old! Gimmee, gimmee, GIMMEE!!
Same rules apply now as they did then: Nobody sing, damnit.
P.S. Did I just get myself into a whole load of trouble?  I [...]

Vroom!

I just zoomed (more or less) through 20+ minutes of broadcast.  Without commercial interruption at any point, argh.
I have paid my dues, CBS.  Bring on the commercials in five to seven minute intervals – possibly less, but definitely no more!
ETA:  As of 12:24pm (as I get ready for my mid-afternoon run), I have now completed [...]

See What I Look Like

Go here.  Blow up the picture as much as possible.  Scroll to the left until you can scroll no more!  Scroll to the bottom until you can scroll no more!  See the chick in the berry-colored top and black pants (with the berry-colored stripe, no less) with her hand on her hip?
Am I not absolutely [...]

Name Changes Are Arbitrary and Can Happen without Notice

The Ann Arbor Summer Festival begins in June.  Typically, if there are good shows, I’ll buy a few tickets.  I will always buy tickets if the Reduced Shakespeare Company is performing.  Their "The Bible, the Completed Word of God (Abridged)" was HI-larious, as was "All the Great Books (Abridged)" and "Western Civilization: The Complete Musical [...]

On 26

I have exactly one week left as 26-year-old.  Rather than reflect and plan for Year 27 next week (when I won’t have time), I’ll do that tonight:
The first question I always ask myself is this: Did I learn anything?  Well . . . no, to be honest.  The past two years haven’t been kind when [...]

Why Did You Leave Me Hanging So, CBS?
