Christmas is over. It wa sort of a crappy one. I woke up in a bad mood and then really didn’t feel all that great at my mom’s. I felt bad. But now I’m home. And faced with the terrible truth: I have to go back to work tomorrow. And if my informal poll is […]

It’s a few hours into Christmas Day. Christmas Eve turned out just wonderful. Mom and I made final preparations for today’s meal (she’s hosting the family Christmas dinner), had dinner consisting of deli salads (no cooking was my idea), chatted and then exchanged gifts. My mom gives the greatest gifts. And gave me (as a […]
I’m currently wrapping gifts. I had to go shopping today for the remainder and was just dreading the multitude of traffic and shoppers. So when I woke up at 8:30 this morning I was all ready to roll over and go back to bed. But instead I got up and decided to get to the […]
I finally decorated for Christmas tonight. I’d been putting it off, but I pissed off my mom about Christmas plans and felt guilty. Plus after receiving gifts from my boss and a client who dropped by, I had something to put under it. Actually one of the gifts my client dropped off was for Ramona, […]
I got kicked out of work today. It was for the best, since I was about ready to walk out the door anywyay. But around 1:45 she came in and told me to finish up what I was doing and go home. Which was really sweet of her. The weather had turned for the worse. […]
I haven’t checked in a bit, huh? Alright, the rundown: I finally bought Flintstones’ Sour Gummies vitamins. After some hesitation, I tried one and do declare them to be the tastiest vitamins ever. I was looking through my store the other day and made a curious discovery: I had earned a certain amount from referrals. […]
Looking through my logs for the day I noticed a search string: What’s wrong with Marissa Cooper She’s dead. That’s what’s wrong. To be fair, the person may be watching earlier seasons. Either way it made me laugh. Ah well. Random Story: I was at a greeting card store and noticed there was a huge […]
I was trying to avoid making a Christmas list (I can’t think of anything) and so I thought I’d write a rant. And suddenly realized I forgot to retire November. Which is indicative of the last few weeks, I suppose. I’ve been busy, yo. So about a year ago my healthy, vibrant grandmother was diagnosed […]
Two posts in as many days! Will the zaniness ever end? So with this nasty cold apartment I pulled out one of my blankets to get warmer on the couch. It’s an average blanket. Pretty thin. Blue. Kinda boring. I think I got it when my grandmother moved into assisted living and needed to get […]
It is freezing in my apartment. As per usual, the “timer” on the heat is a little too closely tied to when my caretaker gets home. And he got home late. And it sucks because I have this metal desk for my main computer that’s right next to a window. I think my tongue would […]
A sort of peace has come over me as of late. A final understanding. I know what I need to do now. It’s become so clear. It will not be easy. It will cause pain to both myself and my loved ones, but it needs to be done. I’m divesting myself of all my excess […]
I am so behind on trying to update quotes on this site it’s pathetic. There’s a Food Network show profiling Al’s Breakfast (a local restaurant located by the U of M). Personally, the best breakfast place for my money will always be Rick’s Ol’ Time Cafe. But Al’s is pretty good. It’s a long, skinny […]
I wrote about this and deleted it, but it happened again so I just can’t leave it unsaid. Las Vegas, a show which once had some potential but now is spiraling downhill, has JC Penney as a sponsor. And for two weeks in a row now they’ve had an ad that gets us (the viewer) […]
I always tend to write these at 3AM. Which explains a lot, I think. Aside from one or two disappointing outcomes, I think this election wrapped up nicely. I am, however, disappointed in my neighboring state of Wisconsin. Voting for a ban on same sex marriage? I expected more from you, cheese heads. In other […]
Welcome to Sunday. I’m currently hiding under my couch. For some unknown reason I’m watching a special on the use of meth that is focusing on “meth mouth”. And I can not watch shots of rotted out teeth and rotted out teeth extraction. It just makes me curl up in a ball and shield my […]
I was told this week by a regular customer that I sound like Barbara Streisand. That’s just weird. I think in truth the only similarity is that we both have big noses. I don’t really have anything to write, I suppose. I’m currently watching Mission Impossible. A movie I actually saw in the theater. And […]
Oh my god am I glad it’s Thursday. This week has just been weird. Weird like hearing news stories about a guy who was shot to death by police over the weekend and then getting into work and being told I was designing the funeral program. And some other stuff, but it’s boring to anyone […]
You know what? Good day today. I like those. Hey! I’m retiring this thing today, aren’t I? Fixed my DVR. I would have done so sooner, but I had to clear all the recordings off first. So now every few minutes I hit the pause button just because I can. Went to dinner with my […]
This morning around 11:00 I was up at the counter and some woman needed help making some copies of a newspaper. She seemed somewhat normal but just a bit off. Kind of dowdy, mid-40s, slightly agitated. Whatever. Turns out she was copying an article about being prepared for the Apocalypse. An article that was in […]
Stupid DVR. It’s slowly dying on me and there’s nothing I can do about it until I get rid of all the recorded episodes. Which is partially why I haven’t had much to say. Thankfully I’m down to only four episodes (two Simpsons and two Stargates) but unfortunately so is my recording space, which claims […]
