D’oh

Today was not a good day for not spilling things on myself. Phase One began when I tried to drain a can of Red Bull…with an uncapped, half-full water bottle in the same hand. That was the smoothest move of the shirt incidents. Phase Two occured when I went to pick up some coffee for ...

Oops 2

I’ve been tired and a little punchy lately, but for the most part, I’ve felt like I’m doing okay in terms of actually being coherent enough to get things done. Until this afternoon. I had to take a computer back over to the telecommunications department at another building, so I moved a bunch of stuff ...

I’ll Show You Out Of Shape 1

Laz’s post about being out of shape amused me, since I have long been a professional at being out of shape. The thing is, I am fairly out of shape, but I’m not as out of shape as I appear. See, here’s the thing. I turn red and sweat at the drop of a hat. ...

Blogaversary Redux

So a little over two years ago, I started this blog with a rather asinine post. I’d like to think that over the last two years, I’ve continued that proud tratdition. A year ago, I noticed on the actual blogaversary. This year, it took looking for something else in the archives to realize that the ...

Chicago Summary 1

And now, for your entertainment, a dramatization of my feelings about my trip to Chicago, by the Ellen’s Blog Players. Me: God, this was awesome, I have to do this more often. My Wallet: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (runs off whimpering like a small dog) Thank you.
