Yesterday’s bee sting was a bizarre little event. I was walking Isis and swinging my arm with abandon when I felt the sting and looked down to see the little bugger on my hand. It took some shaking, and some squealing, to get it off. Stung quite a bit, but by the end of theContinue reading “Itchy typing finger”

Shopgirl
I strenuously object to all negative reviews posted here for Shopgirl. The movie, like the novella, gets it right. Can’t remember the last movie that made me reach for a Kleenex. That’s not why I recommend it though. I don’t know that a scene about a man taking his girlfriend to the shrink after sheContinue reading “Shopgirl”
Some things are sacred
Do not underestimate my emotional involvement in So You Think You Can Dance. We’re now down to the top 8, and last night’s elimination was tough. While there are a couple of dancers I haven’t been as fond of (Neil and Lauren), I recognize that they are better dancers that some of the ones IContinue reading “Some things are sacred”
Have you heard?
This is probably news to a lot of you, but there’s a movie coming out this weekend about Hairspray. And some book about a boy wizard…? Ha, just kidding. Those Hairspray ads are all over the place, and evidently, the major media outlets are all very concerned about whether Harry Potter will die at theContinue reading “Have you heard?”
I’ve never been known for my taste
Of the last three movies I saw, none of them were good. But for some reason, the least likely candidate was my favorite. You’d think I’d have more positive things to saw about my childhood friends, Transformers, or that the very explosiveness or Bruce Willisness of Die Harderer would have carried it along. But no,Continue reading “I’ve never been known for my taste”
Songs of the Summer
I’m not exactly on the cutting edge when it comes to music. Or technology. I’m just now putting songs on my very first iPod, a hand-me-down from Rob, who got it at a pawn shop and then replaced it with a snazzier one. Mine’s approximately the size of an 80s boom box and holds asContinue reading “Songs of the Summer”
America’s troubles
Wanna know why young people care more about Nicole Richie’s DUI than the war in Iraq? I mean, not that I’m a young person anymore, I’m in my 30s! …But George W. pre-empted the Today Show this morning and I can’t stand to hear him talk, OK? So I was forced to change the channel,Continue reading “America’s troubles”
Wasted day
There’s nothing more suspicious than calling in sick the day after vacation, so I waited until Tuesday to do it. I was supposed to go fishing (for work), but when my alarm went off at 6, I felt awful. The headache that hit just before bed was still there and my tummy kinda hurt too.Continue reading “Wasted day”
Best job ever
But I’m definitely ready for my vacation (officially starting in 2 hours. Or less.). This is evident in how hysterically funny I find the Simpsons avatars, the fact that I’m laughing out loud about them, alone in my office, listening to 80’s music (thanks Chelsea, it rocks!). And that I thought it was appropriate toContinue reading “Best job ever”
Delusions of Groening
You really don’t know how little you know what your own features look like until you try to create a Simpsons character of yourself (and your boyfriend).
