I’ve been thinking about writing a little about Facebook for awhile now, and finally I’ve been spurned to action; The Doorman has an interesting post about random people from his past whom he has become friends with via Facebook. This is very timely because I’ve just received a barrage of new Facebook friend requests from…People [...]
Catherine mentions self-censoring in her latest post, which is something I’ve been thinking about lately due to the fact that I’ve noticed I’m suddenly getting some non-me traffic from where I work. I never use people’s names, however, so I guess I’m OK still bitching about work now and then, right? It’s probably some sort [...]
My trainer is a singer/actor in addition to be a sports/fitness fiend, and this Friday night is opening night of his latest play, and I’m PSYCHED – it’s South Pacific!!!! South Pacific combines three of my favorite things – musicals, Michener, and Hammerstein.
The Operahouse Players are performing November 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, [...]
Ploman glares at me for not closing the sliding glass door
It’s the 12th. Wrath is coming out at midnight. Ploman and I are currently watching movies, waiting for that magical time to hit so we can head to the game store and pick up our copies the moment it is released. Yeah, it would [...]
Back in this post I mention some of the annoying habits people have of not reading their email. I think it’s becoming a pandemic, and it’s getting worse. Reading email apparently takes too much time so it’s easier for people to just call me and essentially ask, “can you please tell me what you emailed [...]
Catherine the Great and I, our first year in college. Our hair is wet because…well that’s a fun story.
She and I both were stressed out. She, much more than me…her first rugby game, she broke her wrist. I still had tennis to destress me. So, her mom put her up in that schmancy froofy hotel [...]
This weekend I went car shopping with my best friend, Ploman. There was a giant sale at one of the local dealerships, and he had seen online that they had an ‘02 Civic with 60k miles for $11k. I told him he had to take me with him because I’m Super Negotiator when it comes [...]
You’ll notice in my blogroll that I have a few medical-type blogs that I read (they’re great reads, check them out). I’m actually fascinated by medicine, and my family is full of medical-type people; my mother and aunt (father’s little sis) are RNs, my aunt (mother’s little sis) is a pediatric intensivist (her 2nd career [...]
I have to link you to Catherine’s post on meeting Obama…also, I love this poster she has, check it out:
Part of me is curious…do you think if Bush hadn’t been such a sucktacular president, that Obama would have won this election? I know it doesn’t matter – what matters is that he won – but [...]
So for the first time I have voted in a presidential election (this was my 3rd for those of you math-challenged) the person for whom I voted actually won! Not only that, but I was passionate about the candidate, as opposed to my previous attitude of “well, at least it isn’t George Bush.” I still [...]
