Last night I wrote and attempted to post an entry about how much I now hate my job. I was doing it via BlackBerry thanks to a faulty internet connection, but there must have been some type of error; the post didn’t post and when I went to approve the draft today, it was all [...]
IP and I stayed up until midnight, laughing about SNL’s Obama variety show spoof. We kept on singing the Jeremiah White/Bill Ayers/Gnarls Barkley spoof segment to one another: “White devils be crazy! White devils be craaaaaazaaaay!” When IP called me this morning at work, I didn’t answer with a hello. I answered [...]
Although you’ll probably not believe me given the lack of book list updates around here, I’ve been reading. A lot. As you may have noticed, the writing thing isn’t going so well (I attribute that to a busy work schedule and pretty, pretty dresses that must be perused).
First thing’s first: I’ve gone through [...]
I’ve come to the conclusion that I really, really want my work events to be over already. When they are, it means the following things:
The election is a) approaching or 2) already over; if you look to the right you’ll see who I want to win; here’s why.
It’ll be mid-November and that means the holidays [...]
When IP and I moved in together, Verizon told us that no, we could not carry over IP’s old phone number (considering we’re in the same goddamn building, I don’t know why not, but it is fucking Verizon we’re talking about here); we were forced to get a new number. A new number that [...]
Three reasons why I’m happy to not have to endure daytime TV at the gym on a regular basis:
Sitcoms like the abhorrent Kings of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond on TBS (I hate Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton with the passion of a thousand burning suns; ditto Leah Remini)
Bonnie Hunt talking to and hugging creepy [...]
This long weekend has been relaxing and beautiful, just what I needed before I tackle two back-to-back work projects. There’s one down, though, and it was supposed to be the most stressful (knock on wood): we survived it just fine. During the entire project, I would look at the snooty academics I’m forced [...]
On Tuesday afternoon, after a long few days at work (yep, few—I had to work on Sunday), I gave my mom a call shortly before IP was due to come home. We started talking about various things, but hit upon their trip to visit me and go gown shopping. “I hope the ticket [...]
Obama = Air-conditioned, empty Red Line train in the morning
Biden = Free ride on the bus because the fare machine is broken
McCain = Train offloaded at Judiciary Square
Palin = Metrobus crashing into your apartment
Written and composed by *The* IP, inspired by the following images linked to at the Crown Princess Marie Chantal of Greece message [...]
I had what I think qualifies as my first wedding dream last night. Funny, eh? I’ve been working on planning the wedding for a little over two months now and it’s taken this long to finally have a wedding-related dream. Even funnier is that the dream’s setting was not the wedding, but our “rehearsal” dinner [...]
