Sunday, December 31st, 2006

your interest/curiosity is “piqued.” not “peaked.”


dear women in front of me at the security gate at dfw:

it was my fault, really. i got in the line that looked shorter (and presumably faster), which guaranteed that it would come a to dead stop. And it did, because apparently you have not watched the news in the past 5 years and were not aware that airport security is a little tighter than it […]

i spent the first couple of days with alf and andrew and their lovely daughter sylvie. jill came over with ethan and david (the cutest boy children in the world) and we laughed and watched the […]

does anyone else think that the ‘ove’ glove sounds porny?
i once bought a brushy thing for booby that was called the love glove. THAT is porny.

a photo tour of my street!

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

i was looking for a car service and found this website.
here’s a little guide to go with the photos:
#1 is my grocery store

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

this was how i felt this morning, anyway. i had a meeting at 9, and i left me house at 8:15–plenty of time to make it. i would have even had time to stop and put on makeup.
but OF COURSE the 2 and 3 stopped running for some reason; and of course they didn’t […]


i guess i’m not suggestible?

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

i bought a hypnosis album on itunes this weekend; it’s supposed to make me sleep better and make my life better in myriad ways: you know, the usual spiel. it was only $10, and i thought if it helps me for one night, it’s worth it. also, it would drown out stompy on the 2nd […]

i have a monstrous chain and lock for my bike; it’s a typical new york bike lock (at least for those of us who really don’t want ot have our bikes stolen).
today i went to buy a pump, and as i took my chain off (the cool kids wear their locks around their waists; […]
