Now That I Finally Know

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Originally, I had a very different kind of post written for after the movie. In it, I was light-hearted and silly and my words conveyed my sight-unseen-certainty that it would be everything I wanted it to be. And without any hints or spoilers of any kind here, I will tell you that it is that [...]

36 Hours, 4 Minutes, 21 Seconds

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

I had a bad dream last night. A very bad dream. I dreamt that my pre-purchased ticket to the midnight showing of the Sex and the City movie was actually for Saturday night rather than tomorrow. Horrible, no?Upon waking, I confirmed that in my haste to procure a ticket the moment they went on sale, [...]

Bad Bridesmaid: Part 4

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

I’m swimming in a sea of wedding registries. Soup tureens. Fluted stemware. Salad spinners. A Nintendo Wii (people, you don’t have to get married to get one). Satin Balance flatware. Matte pointelle fine bone china. The Magic Bullet (not that magic bullet- the one “as seen on TV”). Spatulas, gravy ladles, napkin rings, chargers, decanters, [...]

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

It was only a matter of time really. In fact, now that I think of it, I’m surprised he hasn’t had a showing until now.
My boss, Shucky, AKA Hyuk Norris, Count Hyukula, Hyukleberry Finn, Hyukzilla, Hyuk Bass (gotta give me the Gossip Girl reference); is THE most obvious Toolbag of all. Prime Toolbag material.
So what [...]

It's a Bittersweet Happiness, Really

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Mostly it’s a good thing. But then there’s that one day that proves harder than the others. Waking up, you just know. The dreams about closure and good bye don’t help. In them you’re working through what you can’t seem to otherwise. But in the daylight there’s everything that comprises a life to fill the [...]

Pour One for the Homies at Starbucks

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

I was at Starbucks yesterday for a blueberry scone and grande coffee, and asked them to leave room for cream. After, as I stood at the counter pouring it and the sugar into the cup, I watched three other people come over and pour out the top quarter of their drinks and begin to also [...]

Toolbag Wednesday #6: Andy Bernard & My Tivo

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Happy Belated Toolbag Wednesday. For this week, it seems that my Tivo and Andy Bernard were in cahoots. A big thank you to my Tivo for inexplicably not recording the first 17 minutes of last night’s The Office finale. WTF? After an afternoon at the Cubs game, I had sauntered home on my two-beer buzz, [...]
