You know what? I hate winter. I really, really do.

First of all, it's cold. I'm not a big fan of the cold. This is why I live in the South. However, because I live in the South where it never really gets that cold, I am a big wuss when it comes to cold weather. I can handle a 100-degree day with a 100% humidity level, fine, no problem, but throw a ( Read more... )

Um, yeah. So I kinda disappeared for a month. WTF is up with THAT? I clearly suck. I'd give a really good excuse if I had one, but I don't. I got sick over Thanksgiving with a stomach flu (because nothing says "thankful" like having a big feast of saltine crackers and Jell-O), and then just ... VOOM. Everything's been crazy at work, and when I've ( Read more... )

I have decided that my car and I are going to get married. I'm that much in love with it. My sweet little Miata is so much fun to drive. It's all "GRRRR!!!" on the road, and it hugs curves like it wants to have sex with them, and the sound system just plain kicks ass. I've officially been a Bad Energy Consumer in the last couple of days -- I took ( Read more... )

I STILL LOVE ZACK MORRIS. What? Don't lie. You love him, too.

Woke up early and had breakfast with Mom, which consisted of grits, biscuits, and news. According to today's USA Today, the Louisiana death toll has risen by 104 as hurricane evacuees return to their ravaged homes to find their dead loved ones rotting in their ruins.Now, let's think ( Read more... )

I just got back from the car dealership, where I looked at what COULD possibly be my new car ... a 1999 black Mazda Miata convertibleI WANT THIS CAR SO BAD IT HURTS ME INSIDE ( Read more... )

Why is it that every time I rewatch Veronica Mars, I love it more than I loved it the first time? I think I understand Veronica more and more with every viewing, and that just emphasizes the brilliance of Rob Thomas's writing and her characterization. Veronica resonates with me because she really is a high school girl -- she's not the badass she ( Read more... )

You know what sucks? When your car starts smoking.

EXCUSE ME, BUT I BELIEVE I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED A NON-SMOKING CAR.

Ah, well. At least I'm stranded at my apartment, where I can sit around waiting for help to arrive, playing on the internets and mocking Titanic on HBO (while simultaneously ogling Kate Winslet, of course ( Read more... )

Am feeling cruddy again today. BLECH. That's no fair and no fun. Will probably try to sneak out of work early today, because I am a sneaky, sick little thing who wants to go home and cuddle with my pink poodle blankie and my puppy and watch TV until I pass out from the cold medicine. But NOT the Tamiflu, for the Tamiflu is sacred and will assure my ( Read more... )

So, yeah, I know I've been gone all week, because I got DREADED AVIAN FLU ( Read more... )
