A brief vent:
I hate how my co-workers pronounce my first name. They say it—or attempt to say it—in Spanish, having once told me that I “deserve to have [my] name said properly.” Believe you me, the English pronunciation is hunky-dory! It makes me cringe each time a co-worker says my name. I told one new [...]

I wrote this a year, maybe two years ago. I just reread it and found it slightly entertaining.
My mother was always somewhat halfhearted in her attempts to make our family a religious one. We were resistant in part because our father, who freely questioned the Church’s authority, allowed us to [...]
I didn’t set resolutions for 2010, but there are a few things I want to improve: I just didn’t feel the need to enumerate them at the New Year. I made a list which I titled “Things I Want To Do Better” in my notebook, and it included exercising smarter, writing, reading more, and searching [...]
As the sun does its work and powers through the hopelessly large of amount of snow still on the ground, IP and I have had a triumph: Saturday night we went shopping for the first time since January 29. Hallelujah!
And this week I have to start working full weeks again. The hell? Well, at [...]
If you look back through my book list posts, Fagles’ translation of The Aeneid makes its first appearance in the October 26, 2007 entry: I mention that it’s in my cart at Barnes & Noble. I then mention that I’m reading it on December 4 of that same year. It stays on the Currently Reading [...]
A very happy anniversary to my mom and dad! They were married at the very young ages of 19 and 25 in our little Mexican village. It’s been a long—and at times, tough—struggle for them, but I know I look to them as an example of a happy marriage, and as an example of stupendous [...]
So.
Here I am. Staring at my Google Reader.
Looking at jobs.
Out West.
Yep. Out West.
I am scared at the idea of job hunting again. My D.C. hunt sort of stalled, and part of it was because I really didn’t like the idea of just going to another Metro stop in D.C. I do like D.C., don’t get [...]
The flakes of death descended from on high,
a rushéd panic to the nearest Giant.
Metro halted; the planes, they would not fly;
the region to the snow was quickly pliant.
In our homes we bundled up our dears;
We watched the power, both outside and in.
A gasp, a catch of breath; oh, escapéd fears!
On the plows and Pepco hopes [...]
Full disclaimer: I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. My post yesterday will probably hint to you that I don’t care about the Super Bowl, or its half-time show, or the ads. My friends on Facebook and the message boards I frequent were dissecting the ads last night, though, and there seemed to be universal revulsion [...]
Stop the video at 5:07 if you don’t want to continue watching Daria; that’s where my point ends.
*whispers* In case you couldn’t guess, I don’t care about the Super Bowl!
