Re-Fit

Last week, I went to see the optometrist to check out my eyes, the yearly thing. Well also, I thought my eyes were getting worse, but sometimes when I have that kind of thought then I think I’m probably some kind of hypochondriac so then that let’s me ignore it until I feel like [...]

Iron Man

Have you noticed how often movies (especially “summer blockbuster” types) are long integrated commercials nowadays? I think the most egregious that I can think of right now is probably Transformers, which was a series of car ads — GM specifically, I think — I dunno, I’m no expert. But anyways, Iron Man, it [...]

Not Above Rubbing It In

When I got home on Friday, I had a fever. I thought I was catching that terrible flu (or whatever) that has felled a good number of my co-workers. But I took an Advil last night, drank some water, and stayed in bed (well ok that part wasn’t exactly non-routine), and today I’m [...]

How My Mind Works. Or Not.

Dude, I read this headline today, “CIA Chief Sees Unrest Rising” on the front page of the Washington Post. It was shortened for the front page, and I hadn’t read the little precis underneath the headline.

I thought it was going to be about the effect of the current economy on graduates of the Culinary [...]

Exactitude

Dude, we went to the grocery store today, and bought a whole bunch of junx cos we used zipcar (which is totally recommendable!) so we didn’t have to calculate how much we could carry in the backpacks. I only put up a shortened scan cos it looks too nuts to have the whole thing [...]

Thanks for Sharing

I thought y’all might like to see how my left knee looked a few hours after the previous picture.Lovely, right? I have to say, I’ve had worse abrasions (like the time I fell outta the car, yes:p) but this is one of the worser bruises. Unless I’ve misremembered — honestly it’s hard to [...]

Klutz

Okay, it’s a bad picture, but I took it and now everything is bandaged, so that’s that. I fell on the road and slipped halfway across it! Talent is what that is.

Topsy Turvy

We went to see a play this afternoon, and sat behind an old(er) couple. Partway through the play, the old man (who must’ve been somewhat deaf) said, “Did I fall asleep? Was I snoring?” to which his wife loudly (but not as loudly as he was) whispered, “Yes.” He snorted and then said, [...]

Pointy

I know it’s convenient for the dental tools to have pointy scraper things on both ends, but it sucks when they’re cleaning your teeth and the other end in right in front of your face reminding you what’s going on in your mouth right now.

2 Weekends Ago

That last post reminded me, I’ve been meaning to put up photos from the manicure/pedicure for 2 weeks now. Gawd I’m slow. Anyways, I went with Julie to Fusion Nails & Spa. Going with Julie was nice cos she knows whatall is going on, so she helped me pick my colors (red [...]
