An Apple A Day

Sunday, August 28th, 2005

They opened an Apple Store here at Eastview Mall and NOBODY TOLD ME UNTIL TONIGHT! (Thank you, , for clueing me in!) Oh man, I am so going to waste gas driving to and from the mall to drool over the 15" powerbooks. It's a good thing Tony modded ...

Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Not to make light of the situation, but as I'm sure everybody in North America is aware, Hurricane Katrina is about to open a can of whoopass on N'Orleans. Work is going to suck Monday and Tuesday. I don't like to go into a lot of detail about ...

Homage to soft drinks

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

I don't know what made me start thinking about this, but this morning I began dwelling on soft drinks (cokes, colas, sodas, pops, insert-your-regionalism-here) of my youth which I haven't seen on the shelves in a long time. Big Red was the first soft drink that came to mind. This ...

We don't need no education

Thursday, August 18th, 2005

I have to help in the classroom again today. The classroom is cold. You can hang meat in there. It's claustrophobia-inducing. I can't stand the classroom. And I hate grading papers. I called Keith last night. He was drunk. I asked him if I ...

For the nosy peeps who haven't seen me in 10+ years.

Man, having short hair rocked. The only thing keeping me from cutting it that short again is the pain of having to have it trimmed every two weeks because it grows so freaking fast. That, plus the in-between stage really blows. Also, this is going to sound ...

And now, on a serious note: Skeletons

Sunday, August 14th, 2005

Anecdotes from my mother's childhood often strike me as story fodder. Clarence, her father, was an infamous drunk. He lives in a nursing home now, diabetic, his leg amputated. In his mind he can still drive and walk if they'd just let him out of the damn place. ...

Dilemma.

Thursday, August 11th, 2005

- I like taking my medication. It makes me feel warm. Fuzzy. Content. At peace. Gleeful. Sleepy. Optimistic. Sleepy. Full of love for everybody. Sleepy. And sleepy. I survived this summer on it. I did it. ...

Weeeeeeee.

Happy pills kicking in. I walked into the womens' room at work today to hear somebody's cell phone going off loudly in a stall. I exclaimed, "These toilets come with awesome ringtones now!" And went to take my pee. There was a disgruntled silence from the other stall. ...

"Look. You're creeping her out, you're pissing me off, and Tony's Italian and he's got a bag of cement in the trunk of his car with your name on it." --Jenn I once accidentally stabbed myself in the back with a screwdriver in a tragic early morning accident before work ...

of Mice and Men

Monday, August 8th, 2005

Just because everybody likes you and is enjoying your company at the moment, does not mean this is the authentic you. I'm not trying to put a damper on things, but keep that in the back of your head. I bought two art prints yesterday from Bix DeBaise's ...
