Month: May 2010

I am always making lists.  I cannot operate with out lists.  They make me feel productive and safe. Why “safe”?  Don’t ask me these questions.  It’s how I FEEL.  I don’t need to have a REASON.  GAWL. [When I was a teenager, “gawl” was my biggest expression of disgust.  I said it ALL THE TIME. …

I ordered a $39 throw pillow from Home Decorators Collection.  They charged me $15 in taxes and shipping.  It arrived and was ugly, so I sent it back.  UPS charged me $12.04 for return postage. Returning items via mail always makes me nervous – I hope they credit my card like I asked them to. …

Tomorrow night, Josh and Meredith are flying in for the weekend.  We will recreate this moment. I had an extra set of keys made for my apartment so they can come and go as they please; however, I didn’t have an extra keychain. I KNOW.  How could I not have an extra keychain?  Doesn’t everyone…

Dear Lost, In the 36 hours since Sunday night, the internets have been abuzz with talk of you.  Did you end the right way?  Were people’s minds sufficiently blown?  How accurate were our theories?  Was the conclusion good enough? Mainly: are we satisfied? Lost, you were my favorite show I’ve ever watched, and gave me…

And a good Monday morning to you.  Yes, YOU.  Thanks for being here! How are you today? After Friday’s post of sunshine and daisies and love, I spent the weekend in the same blissful state.  I took long walks, had some good talks with friends, and bought a new pair of shoes that Karmen says…

It’s Friday, and there’s no humidity in Colorado, and last night I walked 10 miles instead of my normal 7.  I’ve hung out with friends (I have friends!) the last two nights in a row, and tomorrow I’m taking my family on a date.  It’s a fantastic hair day and I’m caught up on “Lost”…

I promise that one day I’ll get back to this poor, neglected little blog. In the meantime, my co-worker Brooks just asked me if I wanted a “knuckle sandwich,” and oh man, that made me laugh.  Who coined that, anyway? Probably a dad.

I drove to Kansas City this weekend – and you know what that means: On the road again from Annie Parsons on Vimeo. I’m sorry that the video was only 52 seconds long, but… no, you know what, no I’m not.  That’s about all you need to be subjected to. Besides this (glorious) video, the…

Don’t worry, I’m still here. Not only am I HERE, but I am not depressed, despondent, or dead, either.  On the contrary, I am very much alive!  Thanks for being concerned, though, ye who have reached out.  I guess I’m just taking my time living life these days. I have a new favorite song: “See…

It’s feeling more and more difficult to use this space to express anything of substance.  I used to pour my heart out onto this blog, exposed for all the world to see, my inner-most sentiments laid bare for any passerby to interpret however they wished.  But in the three years that I’ve kept this site,…
