Sonnet 87

When my plane landed in Detroit last night, there was a heated discussion between various passengers about the state of Michigan’s football fortunes.  Was Michigan undefeated?  Did Michigan lose to Notre Dame?  Was it Michigan State that was undefeated?  Who was playing Purdue this weekend?
These discussions made me wish fervently for Washington D.C., where talk [...]

A very happy 17th birthday to my little brother, Mathgeek! He was correct in that he got an iPod for his birthday (which cost less than mine, damnit!) and that he’d have a homemade cake today (though that right there was not my doing even though I provided a recipe). I believe the [...]

So, I’m not altogether sure how I feel about butterflies, but I have to say that this theme pretty much encompasses all I want in a theme: good width, obvious separation between posts, rounded corners and subdued colors. I’m not all too happy with the columns given that it’s messing up my race links, [...]

So, I’m currently very bored. And kind of put off by the treatment I received this afternoon. I called my boyfriend to complain, but he didn’t answer. I then called my family to complain, but they didn’t answer, either. So I’m left to complain on this blog, but I also thought I needed to do [...]

I had a wonderful run of six miles this morning, but not without incident.  As such, I was half an hour late to work, but it was no big deal.
What kept me at home for an extra 30 minutes?  When I woke up this morning, I heard the “Device Disconnect” sound on my computer chime, [...]

Y-i-i-i-kes. Sixteen miles, done. WordNerd, also done.
To be fair, the first 12 miles were a breeze. I can’t believe I can say that with a straight face, but they indeed were quite easy. When I hit mile nine and was still smiling, I just thought to myself “I only have to [...]

I just worked 38 hours in three days, and all of those 38 hours were spent in heels. I also spent the entire time being, as my co-workers told me, extremely tactful. Well, a new co-worker observed this–she says I have a friendly, tactful way of dealing with people even though I clearly [...]

This is only a test.
Here’s another theme I’m seriously considering. It’s got the whole “Look, it’s fall!” leaves on it (though, technically, it’s still summer), the colors remind me of the half-marathon last year (Nike: Heavy into light blue and orange), and it’s somewhat snappy. Not altogether thrilled about the narrowness of the [...]

Just playing around, experimenting with the layout of the blog.  Voice your feelings of acceptance or outrage in the comments.  Don’t be surprised if the template changes several times over the next few days.

Ernesto has been a mild annoyance.  That’s luckily enough, to be sure, but he has been a minor pain in the ass.  First, the leak in my apartment when I got home from work yesterday.  I kept on hearing a drip, but assumed it was outside.  After all, it was raining, of course I was [...]
