I absolutely adore White House Correspondence Dinners: “My next 100 days will be so successful I will be able to complete them in 72 days. And on the 73rd day I will rest.” —President Barack Obama […]

Oo. It worked. I can now send little transmissions to my planet from abroad. Of course give the fact that so far my chubby little fingers have trouble with the touchpad on my phone I think I’ll kick it old school for awhile. Although I’ll have to test sending a photo. Later. There’s this ad […]
Tell me you missed me. Tell me you still love me. Okay, you don’t really have to. I’ve been working just a crazy number of hours lately. To the point that almost everything else has fallen into disrepair. Including my poor little planet. I feel guilty. And just to add to the fun, one of […]
So. Number 42 on the list of reality teevee shows I never intended to start watching and am now addicted to: RuPaul’s Drag Race. As if RuPaul and a bevy of drag queens wasn’t enough, Santino is on the judge’s panel. It’s some sort of crazy reality show conflux of glam and grandeur. Glamdeur. Ooo! […]
The “o” on my keyboard is still failing to do its appointed duty. Which mainly means I have to proofread every friggin’ email I send. As if I didn’t already take like an hour to write and rewrite them already. I look like I’m incapable of typing. So you know what else I can’t type […]
Woof. I’ve been negligent of my little planet away from home as of late. And I’ve been feeling so guilty (mainly because I haven’t updated GG in three weeks) that I hadn’t even been checking anything related to my site or the show. I have this habit of steering clear of anything related to a […]
In the arena of weird things I notice for no good reason, it seems like every season on The Biggest Loser all the women wear black nail polish. At first I thought it was a Black Team thing, but it really does seem like the women on either teams are often wearing black nail polish. […]
After months of being alternately annoyed and overjoyed with Facebook I have now settled into an ambivalent stance about the whole thing. I’m hoping its popularity will wane as time goes by (it actually amazes me that most IT departments don’t automatically block access to the site—hell, I would if I was still in charge […]
I don’t know what part is more unintentionally hilarious about this one. I caught a commercial for a revolutionary new product: The Jerkstopper. Which, sadly, only stops cables from being forcibly removed for one’s laptop. And I had such high hopes when I first heard the name. It was an added boon, however, when the […]
So… a few notes for the upcoming week: I met with my tax person this afternoon to clear up the little “You owe us $12 grand in unpaid taxes and penalties” notice I got from the tax man a few weeks ago. So that makes me feel a bit better. And I’m not in any […]
Ah, Minnesota. How I love you. But you make it so hard some days. It is so flippin’ cold this week. I’ve been trying to stay inside all day every day. Today it was around -10 for most of the day and that’s probably been the warmest day all week. It’s a sad state of […]
Ever get something from childhood stuck in your head that you can’t for the life of you remember and try as you might to track the bothersome memory down it just never comes to anything? Ever start out a sentence with the best intentions and realize somewhere along the line it got away from you? […]
Hm. So I got sick again. I hadn’t been feeling all that great for some time and it finally hit around Christmas. Not pretty. Anyway I’m now on a whole bevy of drugs. Three of which make me looped out of my head, which is really quite awesome. I normally take them at night since […]
Tough week. Tough Christmas. Tougher weekend. I’ll be back soon. Maybe a little different. Maybe not. But don’t count me out yet. […]
So I went to bed. And woke up at 9AM. All ready to go out shopping for Mom’s gift. I was really fucking happy to have woken up so early. Yeah. Merry fucking Christmas. Turns out it was 9PM. BUT! BUT! I get to watch Princess Bride. Yay. What are the odds that it would […]
Hm. Hm. So I thought I’d be smart. I moved my car yesterday afternoon, thinking there’d be a snow emergency declared and I’d have to move it anyway. Brilliant! Inspired! How smart am I! Not so much, it turns out. Because I still had to move my car this morning. Which totally would have worked […]
Huh. Despite appearances, only about 50% of what I write ends up in here. I know! So you can only imagine what I end up shelving. One in particular keeps bugging me though. So I will just say that I am increasingly troubled by the bailouts and some of the other revelations that have been […]
I got my Holiday cards printed today. So for those whose addresses I have, expect one. Eventually. I was contemplating sending out for them, but decided to get them done at my old work. They have a different printer and paper stock now, so they’re not quite as snazzy. But they’re an original design. So […]
