The problem with on-line purchases

A couple of weeks ago I was driving somewhere with my friend Abby and she’d brought along a Domino Magazine for the ride. She asked me if I’d ever heard of it, and I informed her that I, in fact, was the one who had ordered her subscription as a housewarming gift last year, but [...]

(Insert Billy Crystal Joke Here.)

On Thursday night I met my friend Janelle & her husband out for dinner (we had Ethiopian food….) and I managed to make TWO references to “When Harry Met Sally” over dinner. She and her husband both looked at me with blank stares after each reference, and it was then that I realized that not [...]

Oh my god, I can’t believe I just did that.

So I used one of my favorite Flickr hacks to edit the date/time the photo was uploaded [...]

my daily song

Most days I wake up with a song in my head. They’re never good songs, always totally cheesy songs that I then have in my head for the rest of the morning. Most times I haven’t even heard the song recently, it just comes to me. I’ll usually go to our computer and see if [...]

huh?

I stopped by Target on the way home from work because I was in search of another Wii remote. I had found a web site that displayed the Wii-related inventory across the US, and it said that this Target had one, and so even though I called and checked and they assured me, no, they [...]

Happy Birthday to me!

I celebrated my 29th birthday on Saturday night with great friends, good food, long laughs, and TONS of Pictionary.
Then T and I spent all day Sunday snuggled on the couch playing our new Wii. What a perfect weekend.
