Catching up

It happened again…The NCIS:LA Car post has spiked!  Hilarious.  It happens every week.  When I went to the Washington Auto Show in January and noted the crowd of dudes around, and then photographed (because it was ORANGE! come ON!) the new Challenger, I never imagined it’d come back to the blog.  So, thanks y’all, for [...]

Thought of the Day

You know, every so often I read something that reminds me that I graduated from college with no student debt, even though my parents (read: Dad) had to struggle to pay. And I get sort of misty about it. So, thanks. It made a huge difference. And now that costs have pretty much doubled, the [...]

Ugh

Have you ever made the perfect lunch to bring with you to work, only to discover halfway through the commute that you’ve left it on the kitchen counter? Well, I left my food at home this morning, and it included breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks. GARH! Oh, and people who are rude on the Metro, [...]

I’m drinking coffee, watching CSI, thinking about what remains to be packed, getting ready for the day. I think to [...]

RL Takes Over

RL Takes Over It’s been a few weeks! Of course, me being me, not much has happened. What a surprise. I have bought a new media player to replace the latest one I killed (iRiver, RIP). It’s a creative zen vision:m and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Plus, it’s pink and fabulous! I have [...]

The Meme of Fours

The Washington Monthly: Via Kevin, the “MEME OF FOURS….Via Roy, here’s another silly but (as usual) oddly compelling internet list meme:” Four jobs you’ve had in your life: Salesgirl at various clothing shops, library shelver, junior conference planner, web producer/developer Four movies you could watch over and over: Enchantment, Casablanca, Now, Voyager, The Lady in [...]

Hello, again, hello

Wow, so it has totally been a while since I have blogged. I am bored and feel a long post coming on…. This summer has, well, basically it has SUCKED. And now that it’s finally almost over I am very relieved. Things are looking up today, actually… Work is so ridiculous that it can’t even [...]

Ho-hum

Here I am at the oil change place before work and the girl at the register is watching Major Payne. Sigh. Of course it is a little much first thing in the morning for me! But hey, the upside is I will have time to go to au bon pain before work and get a [...]
