This little beauty is on loan from work. I’ve been scouring the app-scape for cool, free stuff to download to get acquainted with the thing, but it’s quickly becoming apparent that if I want anything worth having, I am going to have to pay for it. Interesting concept. Maybe it will catch on. [Project 365]
For the first time in years, I’ve got cable. I’m only a couple of hours in and already I’m poised to punch some people. Like those jackbags on the commercials for the company that will give you cash for your unwanted gift cards. “If you’re like many people, you’ve got gift cards piling up unused in a kitchen drawer!” (Uh … no, I don’t.) Cut to ungrateful assholes bitching about all their unwanted gift cards…
Nothing like leaving for work as the entire state hurries home, their cars crashing into each other and smashing into light poles and stopping in the middle of backed-up lanes for seemingly no reason. Nothing like driving home in that re-frozen, completely unsalted mess at midnight, imagining that every car you encounter is going to skid its way toward you and make one hell of an introduction to your bumper. Sure is pretty, though. Spring…
We have reached an untenable situation. Here is the thing with the social media beast we have created. Originally, the idea was to connect. You’re a computer nerd, I’m a computer nerd, we’re stuck in cubes, staring at glowing rectangles, let’s have some fun. Vast cities shrank and became navigable networks of people who liked what you liked, laughed at what you laughed at, listened to what you listened to, ate what you ate. You…
I had gotten a steal on a huge house. A house with hidden rooms and tucked-away stairwells and the kind of complicated, byzantine layout that makes one think of the inner ear. There was one room with a wall of windows, each pane capable of opening on its own if you had the proper key, the whole wall lit by large, twinkling glass bulbs that turned themselves on at night. The seller had left behind…
Paid good money for nosebleed tickets for the fella, since he is a Lakers enthusiast (and Derrick Caracter fanboy) and I am basically the best girlfriend ever. It was interesting to see that many people in FedExForum. And yes, I’ve been to a Tigers game. There were moments during the game where the Grizzlies seemed cohesive and like they were going to bowl over the Lakers without looking back. And then there were stretches of…
I suspect there is such a thing as Super Bowl collective consciousness. Case in point: There were four kinds of hot wings brought by at least three people to the potluck. This would be fairly unremarkable — wangs is football eatin’ — except for the fact that at last year’s potluck, we all brought chili. EXPLAIN THAT, SCIENCE. These particular wings were dipped in some special sauce whipped up by Ray, who feels like if…
I have such an addiction to the jewelry Angie makes. I already have a ring I bought from her a couple of years ago, and I have relied on her for more than a few birthday and Christmas gifts for friends. I have lusted after those earrings for months and months now, and then when I saw the yellow butterfly necklace, EVERYTHING GOT BLURRY and before I knew it, I was clicking buttons with wild…
