Except I like to think that I’m not as annoying as Jennifer Lopez.
But seriously, that’s it? I really need to step up my game; I was rated this based on the presence of the words “gun” (two times over) and “bitch” (one time over). I use plenty of bad words and dangerous liberal ideas all [...]

In the past few months, unsolicited advice has been rapidly piling up on me in regards to my as-of-yet unscheduled wedding. I am told what songs I should play, what food I should serve, what kind of dress would look the most flattering on me. I am asked by friends when they can help me [...]

Random talk for a quiet Friday . . .
1) Remember how I said that IP’s intern (lovingly nicknamed Monica by yours truly) would cause him trouble? Well, fate rebounded that crack on me. My agency also has interns floating around, and one has clearly taken a shine to me. There are weird drop-ins at my desk, shy smiles sent [...]

After two weeks of complete rest, IP and I returned to the [...]

There is much going on, and I struggle with the idea of having to document everything here, so I won’t. After this post, I promise myself and IP that I will get back to my woefully underappreciated irreverent wit.
The weekend was spent with IP’s family. We are both exhausted, and were glad that we were [...]

My thinly-veiled disgust at the ascension of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Anaheim Ducks as the Stanley Cup champion notwithstanding, the week has been anything but cheery and blasé and WordNerd mean. My last substantial post wasn’t full of mirth, and neither will this one.
I will keep this short, though. I don’t want to overdo [...]

This weekend was something of a mixed bag. On the one hand, I raced in the National Race for the Cure, doing decently for someone whose hamstring is tender after a mile and who hasn’t done a short race in more than two years. I was upper-middle-of-the-pack once more, and that’s all I ask for [...]
