Goodbye, Patio Furniture

Goodbye, indeed.  A huge gust of wind just swept through the area.  It picked up our patio furniture (someone left the umbrella on it, and open, so you can imagine the help it got) and overturned it, leading to a shattered tabletop, shattered pepper plants and a shattered pot.  Eep.  The maternal unit will not [...]

Yeah, I Know Where the Rahal Straight Is, Too

It is sad when you see decades-old footage and are able, without hesitation, to say that you’re seeing "The Corkscrew" at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.  They just have different billboards in place.  But you can still name every single billboard that’s standing there today.
Oh God.  Kill me now.  I shouldn’t know this.

Even Dead, They Want to Be Reality TV Stars

I had another zombie dream again.  It is a fact of my life that, whenever I see promos for a zombie movie on television or hear anyone talk about it or get asked to go see the movie, I will have zombie dreams.  There is no escaping this fact of my life.  Just no escaping [...]

I Don’t Have Money!

Ah!  Help me!  I can’t get away from the University of Michigan student asking me to contribute to the LSA program!

Not Ready for Public Consumption

I’m attempting to write a small writing sample – something brief that lets a potential employer know that I can put together words adequately enough for anyone to digest.  I know I can do this if I try.  One of my problems, though, is that I’m stumped on my topic.  I thought that it would [...]

Soothing the Savage Bea . . . uty

I’m currently updating my iPod Shuffle.  I deleted all songs from the little guy, then created a new playlist.  I’ve come into some new songs, such as "Amish Paradise" and Alanis Morissette’s entire first album.  I’m still hunting for my Greenwheel CD – it’s somewhere in my CD cases – in order to add a [...]

Did You Know? Pistons.

In case you’re in the Detroit area but are living under a rock, I wanted to inform you that the Pistons are playing tonight.  Pivotal Game Seven.  Against the San Antonio Spurs.  That’s right.  Pistons.  Championship on the line.  They’re going to try to "get it done" tonight.  Did you catch that?  Pistons.
Truth be told, [...]

On Exercise, a Bit

I was able to get to the gym today, doing two weight circuits before coming home right before my lunch ended.  It was nice to get back to the weight lifting – running has been harder to get back into, I must admit.  I’m feeling pretty sluggish when I run.  Yesterday I ran three miles, [...]

From Bandelier to Briarwood

And now, we switch gears to a decidedly girly post.  I would discuss my vacation a bit more, but I’m still writing that up; besides, it seems like it’s going to be located elsewhere in the future.  Anyhow . . .
I have changed my colors from hiking fiend to shopping fiend.  Yes, I do change [...]

Family. Extended Family.

Well, my return to work really wasn’t much to talk about, truthfully.  My boss barely said anything to me – I’m either guessing that he just doesn’t give a shit or is giving me the silent treatment (yes – he is that petty).  I didn’t get much in the way of assignments (just what’s rightfully [...]
