Gymtastic

August 26, 2009

I don’t think that there’s anything I do, on a regular basis at least, that is so dichotomous (yes, I’m going there again for humor’s sake) for me as going to the gym.
I started going to the gym (very painfully) about the time that I started this here blog.  I wrote about it regularly for [...]

Insomniac (Or: Can’t Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me*)

August 4, 2009

(Fans of Dingo, read this post!) (*Simpsons reference for da geeks. )
I can’t decide which is worse: the fact that I’m having trouble getting to sleep lately, or the fact that there’s no damn good reason why.  Well, no apparent reason, at least.
I’m writing this on my lunch hour at work, currently trying [...]

Is It Wrong?

July 8, 2009

Now that all is said and done (well, except the protracted legal battle, that is), can I just ask: is it wrong that I felt so little about the whole MJ thing?
Is it wrong that I didn’t feel the whole rush of feelings that everyone interviewed on TV felt?  That I didn’t feel fundamentally shaken [...]

Over Thinking The Shopping

May 13, 2009

Big admission: I haven’t had a dishwasher since I left for college at the tender age of 17.
Not that I’ve purposefully avoided having one, mind you, but every place I’ve lived in since that time has been sans dishwasher.  All my dishes are hand washed and air dried, the old-fashioned way.

Evaporated

February 12, 2009

I keep staring at this blank screen, trying to figure out what to write.
And just after I type that I think to my self “geez, what a trite way to start a post.”  This post is gonna suck.
Here’s the thing.
You all know that I’d been in a pretty good mental state for the last couple [...]

Time To Stop Now

January 25, 2009

I’m hoping that this post will ultimately serve no purpose, but in our paparazzi-driven world, one never knows.
Overall I’ve been fairly pleased with the news coverage of Obama’s first week as president.  Sometime on the second day, however, I saw the following headline on one of the news sites:
Obama Daughters Return to School
There was a [...]

Just To Be Clear

December 27, 2008

Okay, I just want to be very clear about this, right from the start. I love my parents. I really do. I love The Parentage with all my little GeekHiker heart.
Okay, are we all clear on that now? Everybody understand?
Good.
Now can I admit that my parents often manage to frustrate the [...]

Annoyance

Now it’s getting on my nerves.
