This Is Why I Can Never Use Song Lyrics As My Facebook Status
I am pretty much a cheerful, upbeat person, but all my favorite lyrics make me sound like a petulant teenager or a disgrunted postal worker. Examples in no particular order: ill Scarlett: Nothing Special “I’m sick and tired of everybody, thinking they know what’s best for me. Maybe God wanted me to be nothing special.” […]
Top 10 Workout Playlist
These are my favorite songs to listen to at the gym. They are not all superfast cardio-y songs, some are more suited for weights. But these are all awesome songs that really help to keep me going. I tend to think in terms of one more song rather than X more minutes Walls Fall Down […]
The Yankees are the Prada Handbag of MLB
Nice to look at, well put together, but too expensive for regular folk. I saw Moneyball last week. Great movie. I went with my husband who is a HUGE Bill James fan. I should have made him wear a bib (my husband, not Bill James). I used to buy my husband a stack of Bill […]
Project Runway – What Women Want?
Way overdue, quel dommage. I’ve been busy saving puppies from burning buildings. 1. First of all, I’d like to offer my condolences to the familes of any viewers who used the word, “boobs” for their Project Runway drinking game. For the love of Mike. Between Bert’s breast-obsessed clients to Oliver standing on a chair and shrieking […]
Books on my Pending List
I’m buying this: I went to the Library and took out: The Profiler: My Life Hunting Serial Killers and Psychopaths by Pat Brown Becoming Jimi Hendrix: From Southern Crossroads to Psychedelic London, the Untold Story of a Musical Genius by Brad Schreiber The Garden of Eden by Ernest Hemingway Any questions as to why this […]
Doghenge With a Vengeance- Henge Harder
Sharkdog is REALLY getting an attitude. This is the longest range Doghenge yet. (See Doghenge and Doghenge Revisited.) She seems to have changed her focus to distance rather than height. She also set the stage by lurking behind the door so that I would hit her in the head with it and feel guilty. Its’ all […]
Awkward Photojournalism
All the Absurdity that’s fit to print. By popular demand (okay, you got me. It’s just me. I really like doing these) here are more of my Awkward Photojournalism pics from around town: I spotted this at Barnes and Noble. A handly little book for you to write down all your passwords and set next […]
Labor Day is the Last Day of Summer- Deal With It
You know it is. On the calendar, it’s not until like the 20th of September, but c’mon. If you haven’t done whatever you planned to do over the summer, it’s too late. But not to worry, it’s clean slate time. None of us have really ever moved from the academic calendar we have been following […]
F Scott Fitzgerald Made Ernest Hemingway Look at His Naughty Bits
Seriously. I just finished reading A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway. It’s Hemingway’s account of being young and poor and writing in various Paris cafes (FYI, there are no current openings for this. I already checked monster.com, so don’t bother looking). I began reading this book after seeing a review of A Paris Wife by […]
Doghenge Revisited
You may recall a previous blog post regarding my subversive dog who stacks her food and water dishes as an act of silent rebellion. She is not protesting the food, before you ask. She gets the high-end-fancy-pance petstore brand. I think it’s made from unicorns and pyramid dust. Well, she’s at it again with: The Slide: […]
