Last night as the DWTS was beginning, I ran to my car to get something. As I ran back in, something dark leaped in front of me. I thought it was the door stop I purchased, but when I got inside I saw that it was in the apartment. So I re-opened my garage door and looked down. Only to see my nighttime visitor, Kermit ( Read more... )

So, the forecast for the past week has been rain every day. Parking at work is an uncovered lot, so I have been good about bringing my umbrella up with me in the mornings. Yesterday, I brought lunch and went to eat it in the cafeteria. Which happens to be located in a different building. When I reached the first floor of my building, I realized ( Read more... )

As many of you know, I tend to lead a life that doesn't have a lot of activity. There's work and some hobbies and the occasional outing with friends, but I typically have plenty of downtime. So much so that I anticipated that during my mom's 5 weeks in Brazil having a number of evenings and weekends filled with vegging out and watching tons of ( Read more... )

I recently witnessed a new level of Miami Driver Retardation. I went to the store and pulled into a parking space. The lot is designed with angled spaces. The divider between two facing spaces is just a line on the ground, not a cement block. In the space next to and opposite me, a sedan had parked just over the dividing line (front wheels were ( Read more... )

So I was finally able to get to my belly dancing class in an hour as opposed to an hour and a half. I decide to wait a bit in my car. I decided to call Friedman. Then it gradually started raining. I decide to head to my class before it starts pouring. I'm a quarter of the way to the class and a torrential downpour begins. My pants and flip flops ( Read more... )

I had an amusing start to my day this past week. Meghan and I carpooled to work and we're approaching the elevators in the garage. One of them has the doors open and a few people in it. I jog towards it and stick my hand in to hold it. And I was a bit peeved that not one person bothered to hold the door open in spite of seeing/hearing Meghan and I ( Read more... )

I've got enough food to open a minimart. Hey, you think Sayid needs a job? ~Sawyer on Lost

That show is full of great quotes. I also liked it when Sawyer compared Locke to Mr. Clean.

Know what I learned from Sunday's episode of the West Wing? Being in politics on election day makes you horny ( Read more... )

Guess what I almost ran over today. An iguana. A big one - at least the lenght of my forearm. I was driving home from work on Old Cutler. I'm by Fairchild - by the random gravelly lot across the street from it. I see something move. "HOLY CRAP! It's fucking big iguana!" I say. It starts crossing the street. I almost had to slam on the brakes ( ( Read more... )

So, Vanessa and I attend the Heat (formerly known as the Floridians) vs. Sonics game last night. We took the MetroRail, which always makes for an interesting evening and provides fun anecdotes. Last time, the anecdote was not so funOur ride to the People Mover at Government Center wasn't particularly eventful. Just a young mom, with two kids, ( Read more... )

So, Vanessa calls me today to accompany her to Target. After some pleading, I decide that I might as well get off my fat lazy ass and go out of the house. We spent a great deal of time in the DVD section of Target. We (I especially) pulled a bunch of reasonably priced DVDs into our greedy little hands. In order to narrow down our selections, we ( Read more... )
