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…
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…
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…
I met up with Amy Friday for lunch at Flight, which brought the concept of crawfish mac ‘n’ cheese into my life. I’m no seafood fan, so I was full of trepidation, but I made the leap and HOLY GOD that shit is good. Score one for the mudbugs. It was nice having an actual lunch at actual lunch time, with an actual human friend! I don’t get out a lot before noon, can you…
I’m working on something cool and fun — so fun that it’s nearly 4 a.m. and I kind of hate to put it to bed for the evening but I have to get some sleep. I’ve got big hopes and big fears about this. I’m not sure where any of this will end up but I suppose it’s good practice regardless of where we land. What an adult thing to say, huh? We’re busting ass…
Today was ridiculous in completely diverse ways. [Project 365
Making lots of test items lately, but none of them work well enough to even give away. Slowly — verrrry slowly — realizing that my favorite part of the crafting process is the scouting cool, cheap materials to use. Neither invention nor assembly is my forte. Bah. [Project 365]
We had it with fruit, so it was technically health food. [Project 365]
