I'm so done with winter. It is currently 13 degrees with a windchill of 7. (Metric system folks, that's about -10, -13 with the wind.) But that's probably the least of all my complaints with regards to this season. I can tolerate December, because although Christmas has become an overcommercialized to the point of annoyance, at least it's a few ( Read more... )

So I cancelled the paper. And I'm sad again.

I hate you Tribune Co! How hard is it to deliver a freaking newspaper?

My blood is absolutely boiling. I really don't care if people think I'm working at a job that is beneath me, or if they think are so much better than I am because they do whatever they do.

I never leave the park or turn off the game until the last out is recorded, even if they are losing by 15 runs. When a game goes into extras and ( Read more... )

After a very slow week at work and many episodes of Maury later, all I can do is shake my head. Everytime they do one of those "devestating secrets" episodes, the person being told the secret always claims they "have no idea" why they were brought to the show ( Read more... )

I would like to thank the Village of Forest Park for not ticketing/towing my car after we kinda forgot to pay for the space we parked in before hopping the Blue Line to watch the Cubs lose their opening day game against the Astros today.
