Housekeeping

Posted on January 31, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 6 Comments

A couple of housekeeping items … One, I am not quitting the blog. I was simply contemplating taking a break for a week or two, maybe more, but clearly that cannot happen or else my family would disown me. In all seriousness, I’ve been feeling kind of down in the mouth lately, and sometimes I [...]

Brake for a break

Posted on January 30, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 16 Comments

I’m suddenly feeling sort of uninspired about blogging, but I will give you this one little thing to keep you satisfied while I figure out what the hell I’m going to write about next. This very well could turn into an actual break from blogging, but I’m not sure just yet. As I was driving [...]

Top Five Friday #11: the Dad edition

Posted on January 26, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 8 Comments

Today is my dad’s 57th birthday! It’s sort of become a tradition this day and age with all the blogging to post birthday tributes to loved ones. He’s done it for me a couple times, usually accompanied by some embarrassing picture of me when I was a kid. Following suit, here’s one of my dad [...]

Follow the lines and wonder why there’s no connection

Posted on January 25, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 21 Comments

I figured out a quick and easy way to brighten my suddenly downtrodden spirits, and it just may work for you, too, if you’ve been feeling a little low. While driving in the car, play “Phantom Limb” by the Shins, with the volume turned up, and sing along at the “waooooooh, waooooooh” parts. Repeat the [...]

Jagged little pills

Posted on January 24, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 11 Comments

Apparently, yesterday was supposed to be the most depressing day of the year, according to the British media. However, I wondered aloud if maybe they made a mistake and today was actually the most depressing day of the year instead. Whether it’s today or yesterday or next week, I have to agree that this time [...]

Everything in its right place

Technically, Roth’s 29th birthday was yesterday, but we were so exhausted from Saturday’s dinner party in his honor that I was in no shape to actually post something poignant about the occasion. I did that last year, so if you haven’t seen the 28 Things post, check it out. It’s cute, and features all kinds [...]

"I just want to go home and watch a show about midgets and eat a block of cheese"*

I just need to say a word or two about the Seattle auditions on American Idol. The hell? I mean, I get it. Seattleites are quirky, but from what rock did those people crawl out from under before making their way to the Key Arena? It’s like the short bus picked up some residents of [...]

Snow globe

Posted on January 16, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 11 Comments

It snowed again this morning, and while I am absolutely sick of talking about the weather, I just have to say one more thing. People, stop whining about it! Yes, it probably should’ve been a snow day again, what with the roads covered in ice, but there are places in other parts of this country [...]

We belong to the weekend

This weekend was the first in a long time where Roth and I had no plans. None at all. And it was glorious, I tell you! After the unexpected snow day on Thursday, we both had to go back to work Friday, which was tough. I had a lot of projects that needed to be [...]
