First they came for the LiveJournal users. And I did not speak up, because I was not a LiveJournal user…

That sucks that LJ is deleting/policing blogs they think are of questionable content, but the furor created is a bit ridiculous. When you’re using someone else’s (generally free) service, they have … More

I just returned from a road trip to the lovely city of Milwaukee. And all I could think of was:

Record Book: Springfield is now the fattest city in the U.S.
Homer: Woo hoo! In your face, Milwaukee!

Lovely place, though. We celebrated a cousin’s graduation with brunch at Mader’s, a German restaurant … More

Not one to sit and wallow in self-pity (much) I am currently weighing options for my future plans. I have a handful of ideas that need to be better organized.

In the meantime, a list of ten things you may (or may not) know about me. And in the interest … More

Jerry Falwell’s funeral was today. And I’m a little bummed because I had planned on watching it. Mainly to see which (if any) Republican candidates for president might show up but also because WBC were supposed to show up and protest.

Oh well.

My mom has been at me for … More

It’s that time of the television year again: season finales. I can’t say I’m sad about that. I need a break.

And some sleep. But I thought I’d say Hi.

I’ll talk to y’all soon.

If a helicopter falls in the city
and there’s no one there to tell Claire about it,
does it make a noise?

What?

This afternoon two different people came into the shop and mentioned that a helicopter had landed in the Target parking lot nearby. Which I thought odd, but promptly forgot about it.

I … More

I’m on my own tonight. Ramona has abandoned me for (of all things) a dryer sheet.

She’s a strange cat.

I went and bought Aveda Foot Relief tonight since I’ve been out for some time. Great stuff. Lovely stuff. Addictive stuff. Except they seem to have changed the formula since last … More

I survived the doctor visit. Barely.

Actually it’s been weird. A lot of the different treatments and shots and things that I was told I would be getting I haven’t gotten.

I’m not complaining or anything. I’m the last person to jump up and down and shout, “What about that shot … More

Sounds like Tammy Faye is not long for this world. Poor dear. She seems like a lovely person.

And yes, I base that on Surreal Life. I base many decisions on television viewing.

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. Just to remind you, dear reader, one of the reasons I took so … More

It’s midnight and I’m finishing up work for the evening. Sadly, this is early for me these days. I find it weird that I wound up in the hospital for (among other things) over-work and am now busier than I was before.

That’s okay though. I need the money. My … More

So my American Idol thought for the week: tonight Blake did You Give Love a Bad Name as a sort of… I don’t know… techno beatbox mishmash. And although it’s being praised as original and daring, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Orbital’s mix of that song with Heaven … More
