This could be it

Day 16 of posting every day in 2011. Mostly, it’s just some brain dump while I get warmed up to blog like I used to. Or go on a really big hiatus again, I don’t know. But tomorrow, I’m going away for a week on business!  For my new job! Will I be able to [...]

1+11+11=33

Now that I’ve been consistently blogging for THREE, now FOUR days, I figure it’s time to reach out to my vast readership for a question that’s been bugging me. I have a birthday coming up in a week.  But it’s not just any birthday.  Numerologists take note, because I’m turning 33 on 1/11/11. Now that [...]

A Confessional

Dear blog readers who remain loyal and devour every new Daily Tannenbaum post when or if they happen, I have been cheating on you. It may seem like I am not blogging, but in fact I am.  I’ve been writing at another blog.  It’s on the USMS (United States Masters Swimming) website.  It’s called “Too Neurotic to [...]

New Glasses

My bullshit health insurance covers up to $70 of eye care, and after that you get to pay everything else.  That reimbursement didn’t even cover the cost of the appointment.  I had to pay full price for the frames and the lenses.  And the more blind you are, the more they charge you to make [...]

despite my best efforts

Today’s my birthday!  I was trying to lay low to avoid any embarassing public displays of singing, but the cat was let out of the bag when at swim practice, someone said to me, “so, 32 today, huh?” and, kind of forgetting about the day myself said, “yeah, looks like we’re just not going to get above [...]

while you were in the loo

I feel a little rusty when it comes to the writing thing.  Sentences are still comprised of nouns and verbs, correct?  With some adjectives peppered in for color?  Pretty soon I’ll master prepositional phrases if I can remember for what they are.  (See, needs work still.) During lunch I did some research on what’s been [...]

I’m getting my oil changed right now, this message is coming to you thanks to the free wifi of foam and wash.  I’m in a writing mood, but I’m not sure exactly what I want to say.  I suppose this being a personal blog, I should update everyone on my personal life. Job interview process?  [...]

Do-over

This morning, like many mornings, I woke up and felt a dull soreness in my leg where I broke my ankle.  My first thought, the one that immediately preceded “I’m really glad I didn’t shut down my blog because I want to write this down” was that I wish I could go back in time [...]

“open thread”

Before I go on about how I feel about comments, I think you should all schedule 45 minutes (after you spend 45 minutes reading this long-ass-rant-post) and watch Sarah Haskins’ new video: Target Women Super Special.  She’s my favorite comedian du jour.  Also my favorite feminist.  I hope she stays funny and never decides to [...]
