All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey

I blinked, and suddenly it was fall. I was so hoping summer would trickle into late September, early October, the way it does back home in California, but no such luck. I came to this realization the other night as we walked the dog after work, with jackets on. The crackle of dry, fallen leaves [...]

Outside the box

Posted on September 26, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 2 Comments

I have to go into a brainstorming meeting today wherein it is encouraged we share ideas for new kids science and art kits. My boss even created an anonymous idea box (my idea, by the way) so that people could present ideas without the pressure of ridicule, as these types of meetings can be intimidating, [...]

That’s what friends are for

The primary purpose of this past weekend’s getaway to San Francisco was to visit my best friend Tawny, who recently moved there from Sacramento. I booked this trip before I knew there was to be a high school reunion later this year, because I wanted to spend some quality time with old friends. You know, [...]

Mama drama

Posted on September 20, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 5 Comments

My mother has been cracking me up lately. First, she calls to tell me that if she were 25, she would be the president of the Justin Timberlake fan club. This was right after seeing him on Oprah yesterday. Her exact words, “He’s just so cute, and he’s so talented, and he can really sing, [...]

Pornographic pandering

Posted on September 19, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 3 Comments

My company had a small part to do with a book called Porn for Women. Which in theory would go along with Roth’s inner belief that my company really “makes adult books,” as opposed to “makes books for adults.” Big difference. I always have to clarify when I describe what my company does. Unfortunately, we [...]

Elaine: The female body is a work of art. The male body is utilitarian, it’s for gettin’ around, like a jeep.

One of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld is the one where Jerry dates a girl who does everything naked. Naked Scrabble playing. Naked bike repair. Naked pickle jar opening. At first, Jerry enjoys the naked time, but then he witnesses her cough while naked, and that’s bad. Hence the discussion of “good naked” vs. “bad [...]

Smitten in the kitchen

Thankfully, I did not have to go into work this weekend, as I made sure I was at a really good place with this annoying printing project by the end of Friday. I just couldn’t bear the thought of schlepping into work on a Saturday. Instead, I will go into work early on Monday to [...]

While watching a movie wherein the female lead character has an overwhelming and embarrassing anxiety attack in public. Me: *in reference to an “incident” at Pike Place last weekend* Hmm. Maybe that’s my problem, I have anxiety.Him: I don’t think so. I think you just have Tourette’s.Me: NO! I don’t unvoluntarily* scream profanities.Him: Oh, so [...]

Back before Julie Chen looked like Michael Jackson

Posted on September 14, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | No Comments

I will freely admit that I watch a lot of crappy reality TV. I make no apologies for it, because it’s an escape from my own reality. Roth, on the other hand, claims he cannot stand most reality shows. He’ll moan and groan and sigh when I turn to something like Rock of Love or [...]
