Ever feel just pretty ignorant?
I’m a stupid white girl. And tonight reminded me of that.
Anyone else know that Native Americans occupied Alcatraz island for over a year and a half out of principle?
I sure didn’t. And I have a BA in history. I thought I knew a bit about history. … More
Today? Odds and Ends Sunday.
Yesterday was my high school reunion. As curious as I was to go and see who was doing what, I passed. At this point in my life, I just didn’t want to. Which is totally selfish, I know.
You know, I was thinking about the “semi slamming … More
Winter has descended upon the city.
How do most people deal with it?
Winter sports! Sledding, skiing, bobsledding, snowboarding, snowshoeing, jumping into freezing waters for a quick swim…
But the real Winter sport? Driving. It’s a bitch.
Actually, it can be fun. If you’re on a road with no traffic and no parked cars, … More
It’s actually a little after Thanksgiving, but I didn’t get home until midnight. So this is my semi-post Thanksgiving post… or rant. On the way to help my mom prepare stuffing and green beans, the local NPR radio station was having a Thanksgiving theme. And they played Golden Smog’s Pecan … More
I told my boss about being freaked out by the running guys last night and she just looked at me like I was a complete wuss. Maybe I just over react about things like that.
I cut out early to go home and take a nap, since I still feel like … More
Crappy day, really.
I can’t believe it’s Thanksgiving this week. I am so not ready for the holidays. I have to make a Closed for Thanksgiving sign and all I can come up with is “Closed in Observance of the Attempted Genocide of the Native Americans” or “Closed for the Day-After-Thanksgiving … More
Has anyone else noticed the dirth of newstype people who are now blogging? I mean like within the last month it seems like every news station reporter and newspaper writer now have one. And they’re all mentioning it constantly. Like, “For more on how XYZ felt after interviewing a woman … More
Welcome to the first day of snow in Minneapolis.
I hate snow. In theory it’s wonderful, but in practice it’s a pain in the ass.
Snow in Minnesota is rather different than when I was a kid. We used to have snowfalls of maybe four feet. The kind of snow where … More
Sundays. I never could get the hang of Sundays.
Some are good and some are bad. This one’s bad. Although I’m working today, so at least I can say I’m making money.
Wait a minute! I knew I was forgetting something. My very first ever rant reader has a birthday today. Today? … More
So relatively quiet work day, really. Except I got into work and found out my bosses’ last house (that they still owned) caught on fire. So when they got home last night, they found a letter from a neighbor telling them about it. They were not in a good mood … More
Yeah I don’t have a rant today. Fuck the world.
Oh, I’m not all that grumpy really. Just… ready to move on.
So my predecessor was in today.
I’m not sure how I feel about that. I mean, I didn’t really talk to him. What am I supposed to say? “I’m … More
Weird. It was Election Day today and my financial planner won public office.
So how focused is she on my money? I’ve got to give her respect for having a float every year in the Gay/Lesbian Pride parade however. I used to live downtown and would sit on my balcony … More
I still haven’t dropped off my rent check. I always forget. I really am about to do some actual work (I had family duties earlier today). But I thought I’d just chime in with today’s update from the planet.
I finally got around to reading this week’s Savage Love and … More
Yay, Friday! I checked out of work early today (I love that I can do that) to get home and just relax. Yay, Relax!
This week was a long one. Yesterday especially.
You know your day is going to be interesting when you get a collect call from a Hennepin County jail … More
I can’t remember if it’s Tuesday or Wednesday today. And it wasn’t like one time, it was all day I kept getting confused. The only way I seem to be remembering it is that The OC is back tomorrow. It will also be the debut of The OC Update mailing … More
