Today I invented a new Rock, Paper, Scissors variation: Monkey-Ninja-Pirate-Robot-Zombie.
Here's how it goes down:

Hold my calls, I'm busy blogging
Apart from the suit and the fact that nobody ever calls me, this is a fairly accurate representation of my average workday:

Baked goods!
Tonight Roxy and I are baking. We've got three loaf pans in the oven and it smells very, very good in our apartment. The reasons (for the baking, that is) are twofold: 1) We had a ton of eggs that were about to go off, and good eggs should not be wasted (and I don't really care for eggs as a food unto themselves, so just frying them all was out). 2 ( Read more... ) -
Worry
Sometimes, as I stoop to pick up a coin or other goody I've spotted on the floor, I wonder, for a split second, if maybe it isn't a trap, like in a cartoon or Indiana Jones. Even in my own apartment.

Whim of the day

It was a close race, 52 to 48% with a 1,433-vote difference. My endorsement of Jessica went way beyond the fact that she's my cousin or that she's not a ( Read more... ) -
Apart
This weekend Roxy's going to Wisconsin and I'm staying here. I think this is the first time we've spent a weekend apart since I went to New York about a year ago. I could go with her, but I decided to stay home and do my thing here. I'm having people over for a post-Halloween movies-'n'-treats get-together tomorrow night, but apart from that I ( Read more... )
