Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down*

In the seven years that Roth and I have lived together, we’ve lived in an upstairs apartment, a duplex, a house made of cinder block, and where we live now, a house with two bedrooms, one bathroom, hardwood floors, a detached garage and best of all, a laundry room. That last feature is very important [...]
Born yesterday

While this past holiday weekend was so very relaxing and much needed, the timing of the day off couldn’t have been worse. I was then thrust into Tuesday morning, kicking and screaming like a newborn baby, woefully unprepared for how much work I had to do yesterday in order to send some of my co-workers [...]
Everything in its right place

A close friend from high school who got married right around the same time that Roth and I did nearly two years ago recently revealed to me that she and her husband have divorced. I have to admit I was shocked at first, especially because they separated more than a year ago, and I had [...]
This one, this one right here. This was my dream, my wish. And it didn’t come true. So I’m taking it back. I’m taking them all back.

When I was a kid, I used to watch the movie The Never Ending Story all the time. It was one of the few movies we had on VHS, and my brother and I never got sick of watching it. Still to this day, I consider it among my all-time favorite movies, simply because it [...]
Faced with a dodo’s conundrum

toothpastefordinner.com Every morning as I get ready for work, I try to think of something to write about here. Usually I have some sort of bud of an idea and about half way across the floating bridge that is the bain of my commute, I pretty much know what I want to write about, and [...]
George: Look at me! I was free and clear! I was living the dream! I was stripped to the waist, eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery.

Ever since I got sick a couple weeks ago, my appetite has been slow to return to its former insatiable self, and incidentally, I lost a few pounds, which was quite a thrill to discover last week when I stepped on the scale. But I’m fairly certain I gained those rogue pounds back this weekend, [...]
The past and pending

While I’ve lamented for years about having crappy, low-on-the-totem-pole type assistant jobs since graduating college, I’ve also relished in the fact that I’ve never really had to take my job home with me. Additionally, Roth and I frequently celebrate the fact that we’re both done with college and never have to study or do homework [...]
Pop goes the beagle

Writer’s block still in full effect, so why don’t you watch this cute video of my beagle.* For some reason, popcorn is her favorite treat of all time. Just the mere utterance of the word alone is enough to send her into a shivering frenzy of anticipation and excitement. When I really want to mess [...]
Twitterpated

I signed up for Twitter last week, and then five minutes later thought to myself, “Why the hell did I just do that?” Man, I’m such a sheep when it comes to interwebby crap. Twitter is essentially an online form of text messaging, a way for friends and family to keep tabs on each other [...]
Insert heavy sigh here

This weekend was pretty much a bust. We didn’t really have any great plans, but nothing really went as planned either. Sort of frustrating. Friday night we found ourselves wanting Chinese food, which is a rarity, as it’s our least favorite of all the Asian cuisines (Thai and Japanese, specifically sushi, always win out). We [...]
