So, I’m having some issues coming up with presentation topics this week. If anyone interacts with government agencies on any level, and thinks to oneself, “Boy it would be great if…” and finishes that sentence with some technospeak — please let me know. I have a few ideas, and once my partner and I settle [...]

Far out, fab, and insane

This week has been up and down and all over the map. This weekend will be filled with homework. Next week I am losing my office and let’s just say I am uh, less than ecstatic about the new arrangement. Thus, I need some positive reinforcement! So, for today’s Friday musical interlude, let’s all hear [...]
Cake, or Death?

Hey everybody: don’t forget that it’s National Donut Day. It was started as a Salvation Army fundraiser — you know those photos of girls handing donuts to WWI doughboys? That’s what it’s all about! However, I am too lazy to travel to the Dunkin’ Donuts. Krispy Kremes aren’t exactly thin on the ground around here, [...]
Run away before I know

Sad news: Slipknot bassist Paul Gray was found dead in an Iowa hotel room on Monday. Just last week the world lost Ronnie James Dio. And of course you all know that I was very concerned about Bret Michaels recently. Metal, in all its forms, is having a rough time these days. RIP, guys, and [...]

So, here’s your Friday musical interlude. Happy weekend everyone! Lyric of the day: ”I am not afraid, I am not afraid, I AM NOT AFRAID” Flashback of the day: The original Prince of Persia What’s playing now? The Connells’ “Scotty’s Lament,” off Boylan Heights.

Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning

It seems that Irving Berlin wrote my theme song in life. It’s his birthday today, so let’s celebrate the King of the American Songbook with Carol Burnett and Friends! Ah. That’s better, isn’t it? Lyric of the day: “Someday I’m going to murder the bugler! Someday they’re going to find him dead!” Flashback of the [...]

This morning, I read the terrible news that Bret Michaels is in the ICU with a brain hemorrhage. Terrible, terrible news! Brain problems are scary, and on top of that, the ICU sucks. I mean, it really sucks. So, I decided to use the power of my subconscious — and the Internets — to send [...]
Round One in the Books

The 75th NFL Draft is underway! I watched the new-style Round 1 in Prime Time on NFLN last night. (In a massive DC Metbloggers FAIL, FL, PP, and I were all live-tweeting the first round, instead of watching together. We are lame.) The most exciting item has to be Tim Tebow‘s “surprise” draft position at [...]

I’m excited! MC is going to come for a visit! She’s one of my very favorite folks. So, huzzah! We will enjoy the sights, eat delicious food, commiserate about BigLaw life, generally enjoy ourselves, as we always do. I can’t wait! I love visitors. Seriously. This is the number three tourist destination in the U.S. [...]
Doppelgängers
Posted in Posts, tagged books, memoriam, music on January 29, 2010 | Comments Off
So, it’s “Doppelgänger Week” on Facebook. This means that we’re all supposed to change our profile pictures to someone famous whom we resemble. Of course, mine is the young Sarah Ferguson. People used to tell me that all the time ca. 1986. One friend’s grandmother never even bothered to call me by name; she just [...]
