I love that we got a beautiful blanket of snow on the Christmas tree farm last night! Even though the snow was exciting, I was pretty upset last night when I realized that buying a new home will be prohibitively expensive. After meeting with a mortgage broker and my realtor, we came to the conclusion [...]

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Fox
Have you ever had to take one of those timed typing tests to test temping talent? Can you say that five times fast? Back in the day when I was freelancing my skills as a production assistant, I often applied to work as a temp to fill in employment gaps, and I had to take [...]

I never promised you a rose garden. Hell, I didn’t even promise to be nice.
Last night I went to Birmingham’s to watch some Battlestar Galactica, and as an added bonus, he let me do laundry (the suckiness of him living an hour away is slightly less so when you consider his place came with a washer & dryer.) This was the scene at his place at 6:45 am as [...]

When I was at the grocery store recently looking for a great starch-delivery system for my tofukey sandwiches, decided to skip the usual plain old whole-wheat bread option. I had a hankering for a nice flavored wrap, and [...]

And they have a plan
Oh, I was so smug the other day when one of my co-workers was complaining that she was a slave to “American Idol.” I’m all, “well, I haven’t cable in six years, and I don’t let TV shows schedule my life.” Yeah, I was feeling pretty high and mighty with my cable-free life. Oh but [...]

I don’t want anybody else
Phone conversation the other night: B: What are you doing? N: Lying here, thinking of you, touching myself. B: Are you masturbating? N: No, I am not! My hands are too cold for that. B: Well you know what will warm them up, don’t you? N: No way, I don’t want to introduce this kind [...]

An homage to the man who put so many people through college
I’m a little late with this, but if you haven’t heard, Momofuku Ando, who invented Ramen Noodles, died on January 8. In light of this, I’d like to share my personal history with the noodle known as Ramen. 1990 – For some reason I convince my dad to buy Cup O’noodles at the grocery store. [...]
