Lucky Number Slevin

Aside from Lucy Liu being inexplicably cast as someone young enough for Josh Hartnett, this is a great movie. The dialogue was witty. I can’t get into plot without giving a lot away, but it’s a mistaken identity case turned humor and crime drama. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet!!

Calendar of Depression

I have one of those giant desk calendars behind my laptop. SSHH and I record the good, the bad, and the ugly. C = cardio, W = weights, and D = drinking (yes even one drink).
I started working out maybe in March, before the wedding to try and get a little toned up for my backless […]

Sweet Dreams

Yet another great thing about the lack of a job: No Monday mornings.
 When SSHH and I were first dating, he introduced me to Musical Starstreams. It’s a radio program on 107.1 KGSR on Sunday nights from 10-12. Downtempo electronica and stuff. Well, SSHH always wants to listen to this in the new theatre room, all the lights off, […]

Back to Work?

We’re in big trouble. I don’t know who we can afford things. I mean, how could this happen??? I’m going to have to get back to work immediately. This is unreal. We all have our things, I understand. And everyone is about profit. Fine. But is THIS REALLY necessary!?!?!?!
BIG TROUBLE

Halle Berry? I don’t see it…


Kickball Hilarity Ensues

Mom, come down for a kickball game. This would make up for the last 15 years you had me participating in sports. It’s make up for you sitting, watching and waiting for any accomplishment. Somehow, I’m NOT the worst player on the team. I make plays.
Sure, we keep losing miserably (8-0 this time) but that’s […]

How CAN people work?

There must be at least 6000 internet celebrity gossip blogs! I’ve discovered webpages dedicated to things I didn’t know EXISTED! Now I know why my tech-savvy brothers haven’t left their bedrooms since 1995 - the internet has SO MUCH STUFF!
This whole Wikipedia thing is crazy! I am learning so much useless information (about stuff like […]

On Retirement.

So I had this job. For two years. I’m fairly sure that over the course of those two years, whatever was wrong with me (headaches, eye twitches, nausea, stress, stomach pain, reflux) - was because of this job.
I put a ton of effort into my job, networking, events, finding clients, befriending old ones, driving to their […]

ACL Chronicles III

Sunday was rough.  I woke up with a bad head cold. I doped myself up on Nyquil and off we went!
The music:

KT Tunstall - pretty good. That “cherry tree” song didn’t even bother me that much.
Jack Ingram - I’m guessing is from Texas and is even worse that Coerey Morrow or Pat Green - too […]

ACL Chronicles II

Saturday we got to go to KD’s for breakfast before we hit the festival. Excellent.
Got down to the park to see:

Murder by Death - pretty rockin’
I Love you but I’ve Chosen Darkness (whew!) not all that exciting
Ben Kweller - read here for snippy’s account - I’ve known Ben Kweller for a while and didn’t quite see him […]
