The last time that IP and I saw a movie at the theaters was, well, never. During our dating, engaged, and now married relationship, we’ve never gone to the movies together. Why? Because you can’t talk and snark at the movie when other people are paying $10.00 a ticket. It would be rude, no?
That said, [...]
Welcome to the 2009 Year in Review. Relive the spills, chills and thrills of WordNerd, IP, Scorpie and Snakey (our latest addition to the family). Oooh over the pretty wedding dress, roll your eyes as you recall the guest list drama, and breathe a sigh of relief when I finally announce that IP and [...]
Thank you, KitchenAid® 5-Speed Ultra Power® Hand Mixer, for coming into my life precisely when I needed you most. You see, for years I have now done everything with raw, manual labor, be it mixing cake batter, kneading encanelado dough, making cakeballs, or stirring up trouble by making chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies that [...]
Happy Christmas from the WordNerdia-IPia household. And now, my favorite Christmas song and the classic claymation cartoon that goes with it.
Playing around with WordPress themes is dangerous — one should always remember that! I tried out a theme, switched back to my old one, my settings in my old one were not preserved (the hell!?), and then I accidentally upgraded the old one (the upgrade sucked!). So now I’m stuck with this one until I [...]
IP and I were all excited, having set up and trimmed our new Christmas tree. We plugged in the lights, ready to be delighted.
The top third of the tree didn’t light up at all. D’oh!
We tried to fix the problem by switching out fuses, but the last third of our tree remains stubbornly and depressingly [...]
I’m in the process of downloading Simon and Garfunkel’s Columbia Studio Recordings (1964-1970) album. That’s a hell of a lot of music. I used to have this on CD, but my little brother lost it. Hmm.
Anyway, I had a hankering to listen to some old Simon and Garfunkel stuff; “Punky’s Dilemma” popped into my head [...]
Overheard on the way to work:
Guy: Well, I didn’t want you to think I was doing anything that might seem, you know, too boyfriend-y.
Gal (laughing): Oh, don’t worry! Just friendly. Not boyfriend-y at all!
Guy (weak laughter): No, I guess not. *cue look of frustration that the woman totally doesn’t catch*
Guy, I’m sorry to say that [...]
I haven’t written in a while, and I suppose that’s because there’s not too much going on in the WordNerdia-IPia household (well, there is, but posting specifics would be bad). The truth is that my reading dropped off a bit (after posting about How I Became a Famous Novelist, I had to wait a couple [...]
Michigan State’s fight song seriously sounds like it’d fit as a communist national anthem. I’d never really paid any attention to it because a) I hate Michigan State and II) I hate University of Michigan sports (with the exception of hockey). However, the husband and I played the State fight song after he had sent [...]
