Reasons I’m A Moron #348
A couple of days ago, my officemate, Karen, introduced me to a totally addictive web-game. It’s called “Free Rice,” and it’s basically a vocabulary game, but the kicker is that for every word you correctly identify the website will donate ten grains of rice to the United Nations to help world poverty. Ten grains ain’t […]
Assault
I like to think of myself as an intelligent person. I read a lot. I pride myself on being politically and socially conscious. I use big words, and over fifty percent of the time I know what they mean. But sometimes I do something so damn dumb that I wonder if evolution is trying to […]
I’ll Buy You A Parakeet; Or, Big Girls Have Big Appetites
As I’ve said time and time and time and time and time again: I do love me some celebrity bad news. There’s just something about the downfall of a narcissistic asshole that puts a big old smile on my face. Take this video from the Letterman show. Dave is making fun of Paris Hilton to […]
You’re All Clear, Kid. Now Let’s–BOOM!!!
Usually when I’m unsure of what to write about I cruise the sundry social news sites, such as Digg, Reddit, Fark, and eBay, looking for ideas buried in the news, and hoping someone on eBay will have a muse for sale. I actually found this on eBay tonight, but since it wasn’t exactly the kind […]
Random Hostility
There’s no unifying theme to this post. Just some random things I need to get off my chest before I claw my own eyes out. Is it too much to ask for Sam’s to hire competent customer service people? Today it took three, count’em THREE, people twenty minutes to help the woman in front of […]
Some House Cleaning
I’m not quite done with the post on Dark Obsession. My apologies. I’ve been busy, and frankly, this one’s been hard to write. Hopefully it’ll be up tomorrow. In other news, several outlets have reported that in Vincente Fox’s new autobiography, Revolution of Hope, the former presidente claims that President Bush was, “The cockiest guy […]
I’m Kinda Jet Set
Tonight Leigh and I were folding clothes on the bed, and I noticed my work socks looked funny. I only have a few black dress socks so I usually know what they look like. But it looked they they had gotten thinner. I noticed it the last few times I’d worn them, but tonight, with […]
Let’s Be Nice; Let’s Be Civil
After perusing through the archives on the site, I began to notice a rather disturbing trend. I complain an awful lot. Granted, there are a lot of problems in our society, but the blog makes me sound rather…well, bitchy, for lack of a better term. It’s hard for me to ignore things like Senator Craig’s […]
