Back in the day (the day being my time at Oxford Housing and my year of living on East Washington Street in Ann Arbor), my sister Dorkus and I would exchange what we affectionately called Storytime—it is a round robin of sorts that we play, focusing on the wacky adventures of the Detroit Red Wings [...]
Another Memorial Day weekend has passed and I am once again a year older. Huh. Funny how that always happens this time of year, no?
In all seriousness, it was a relaxing and low-key weekend—precisely what I wanted as I entered the last year of my 20s. My friend, who recently re-established contact [...]
On the morning of my 29th birthday, I guess my mind decided that I needed to take a ride. While on the Metro, I got to what I thought was the stop before mine. As I sat there, waiting for the train to continue forward, I stared at an advert for the Bodies [...]
The conversation went something like this:
“Honey, I’m getting an intern.” Pause. “And it’s a woman!”
“I see—a fellow getting an intern, how odd.”
“I know how this’ll go: if she’s not attractive, you’ll make fun of me about how much I’m in love with her. If she’s attractive, you won’t say a word but you’ll silently stew. [...]
. . . See you next season, guys. Thanks for pushing as hard as you did.
Now? Go Ottawa! California has no business claiming the Cup. The cheering order goes Wings, then whatever Original Six team makes it, then whatever Canadian team makes it (if the Original Six team isn’t Canadian already), then whatever team that [...]
Another day, another edition of the book list.
So we descend into the cloistered world of Vermont, at a college that’s defined as top-notch and yet admits students that are sub-par or never graduated high school. Published in the early 90s and written by Donna Tartt, The Secret History came as a recommendation after I did a [...]
Oh, all about my shennanigans and goings ons . . .
I am in love with a scale. Funny that, no? Most people hate scales, and up until a month ago, I was no different. But many workouts, fruits, vegetables, grams of fiber and seven pounds (less) later, I wholeheartedly adore my new Tanita BC533 Innerscan. [...]
Spring is one of my favorite times of year, the other being fall. I like times of transition, of nature and my life being in the middle so to speak, and the anticipation that the transitions bring. The weather mostly cooperates (save for tomorrow in the DC area, apparently), and there’s excitement in the area, [...]
It is done. I’ve registered for the race, and so the summer will once again be spent building up endurance for another marathon.
Now, it’s time to sit and wait to see if New York lets me in for 2007. If they do, I’ll defer New York until 2008.
About 24 weeks to go, give [...]
After five years, the Wings are back in the Western Conference Finals. When I logged on this morning to see the score, I was literally shaking.
My Tuesday is made. Bring on Anaheim.
Regardless of their name change and their success in the playoffs in the aughts, I still say that the Ducks have no business being [...]
