After a rather shitty night of being belittled and berated (unjustifiably, I might add) by the one I love, I arrived at work today only to find out it would be my last day there. At least for a while. Though they love my work and assert that I am a great fit, the current [...]

Bored at Work or: How I Learned to Stop Working and Love the Pretzel
While sorting through my handful of pretzels at work, I found a sweet little P-shaped one. P happens to be the first initial of my ex-boyfriend (whom I am currently feeling very nostalgic about), so I was inspired to have a little fun. The following ensued.
P arrives to work on another gray Monday morning, exhausted [...]

Beam Me Up
Just picked up on an old story while researching the history of O’Hare International Airport.

Now I’m no science buff, and will certainly never claim to be, but I think it’s awfully egomaniacal and ignorant to think that we’re the only living beings/planet in all of the solar system, galaxy, and beyond. Give me a break!

Notes on Lollapalooza
Best:
Radiohead, even though I had to pee for the first hour and a half of the set. Even though I stuck a cup down my pants and tried to pee. Even though I had stage fright and couldn’t.
Girl Talk, even though he was on too small of a stage. Even though he should have been scheduled [...]

In the Mood
It’s funny what strong emotions and reactions just a few notes of a song can elicit. This is never more true than when I hear Glenn Miller’s In the Mood. In an instant I’m swept back to the 1940s and encircled by swing-dancing G.I.s and their leading ladies fashioned in high-waisted pencil skirts and perfectly [...]

It Seems Obvious
I hope there’s more to the story, and I certainly hope this little girl is still alive, but from the available details it seems pretty clear: She’s not and Mom’s responsible.
1. Casey Anthony, the mother of missing two-year-old, Caylee Anthony, didn’t report her daughter’s disappearance until more than a month after she went missing.

The mousepad: one less thing in your life that has to be boring.
Check out these badass mousepad designs from my favorite mirror, all available at a very reasonable $15.

Lisa Rinna at the SAG Awards
Lisa Rinna is unwatchable. Seeing her on the red carpet for TV Guide’s pre-SAG Awards show was like watching a car accident, and I couldn’t look away. She was sloppy and vapid at best. Her squeals of delight at her own self-musings and exclamations about her super unique! interview questions were unbearable. She branded every available [...]
