  • Alanis Must Be Stopped.

    This morning, while in Starbucks waiting for my Iced Grande Triple Skim Latte I noticed a most horrible sound coming out of the speaker system. It was so excrutiating, I was having trouble thinking, ordering, paying or smiling. Of course, it didn’t help that there were droplets of sweat falling from the nape of my…

  • Volvo, Take 37

    Yesterday, after work, I met with the Volvo owner in order to inspect the car. I have little knowledge when it comes to cars. If it looks good, I’ll buy it! Only that’s not really the truth because I have wanted a Volvo since the last one I owned was totaled and I have yet…

  • The Things You Take For Granted

    Dan wrote me today. Dan from England. Dan, the boy who was beaten pretty badly a while ago. I love it when Dan writes, and tonight, when I get home, I will write him a really long response. But in the meantime, I want to share with the Internet something he wrote. You see, Dan…

  • Six Feet Down, Indeed.

    I can’t resist. I must clutter the Internet with yet another TV-related blog post. Man, am I ever bummed about Nate. :[ I really didn’t see it coming. What’s next? David’s not gay? Clare becomes a Republican? Brenda marries her brother? No more surprises like that, HBO.

  • Volvo 164

    Tonight, I am finally going to take a look at a blue, 1975 Volvo for sale in our neighborhood. I have had my eye on this car for months now and much to my surprise the owner put it up for sale last week. It looks like this: only it’s blue. I always get nervous…

  • My First Date With Ebay

    On Sunday morning, after a week of putting it off because of having to answer too many questions, I began my first auction over at Ebay. I have been an Ebay member since 2002. (I know, not long.) And in that time I have purchased two things; a leg lamp and a bath caddy. And…

  • Roaches Suck

    This morning, while stomping around the house stark naked and in search of a bra, I walked over to the dining room table where I had a stack of folded laundry from the night before. I bent down to pick up a black t-shirt from the top of the stack when I noticed that something…

  • Call to Remember

    Sometimes, I am suddenly rendered speechless when, as I’m sitting behind my computer contemplating what I might like to eat for dinner, it occurs to me once again that there are men and women living on a space station. Space, man. Space. I do this with the ocean, too. For example, right now, there are…

  • The 41st Annual National Apple Harvest Festival

    Last year, we were in San Francisco at the time of the Gettysburg Apple Festival. This year, I’d like to attend. We went to the one two years ago and had a great time in spite of the fact that we had a most horrible meal at a local “5 star” restaurant. But the festival…

  • South Beach Diet Update

    I have lost 16 pounds in a little over two months. I hit my first goal in weight loss about a week ago and even though I promised myself a smorgasbord of fatty foods and treats once doing so, I can’t seem to bring myself to do it. Maybe upon completing my final goal. Who…
