Holy crow, people, it’s been a while! There is much to update, and it will happen soon. But I noticed something on the Intertubes today that I just have to comment on: OK, so this bride is feeling screwed. I get it. (We won’t talk about the whole Bard Chapel quote…because well, I don’t feel [...]

Random Thursday Thoughts, or: Yet Another Listicle
Posted in Posts, tagged baseball, grad school, random on June 3, 2010 | Comments Off
1. Man oh man and Holy Family is it freaking hot outside. Like, five million degrees with ten thousand percent humidity. Ugh. Too hot to cycle in to work this week; I feel like I’ve been beaten about the head and shoulders just from being outside. It is so exhausting when your body tries and [...]
Too Many Tuesday Morning Things

Where have I been?! Well. I had visitors, then a weekend off, then more visitors and the Derby party, then a weekend off, and now I’m going on a belated Mother’s Day trip and visit with friends. Hooray! So…you get three posts in one day. Are you excited? I thought you would be. And here [...]
Indulge Your Inner Headbanger

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 [...]
Weekend Update

The fun-filled Visiting Spring 2010 kicked off with the arrival of MC from the Big Apple on Friday last. Our weekend was spent pleasantly chatting away, wandering the streets of DC; basically, killing time between meals. (We always eat well.) MC was even patient enough to befriend my lazy cat, and tolerated her quite well. [...]
Monday Mix

1. It is Super Bowl Week. Last night was the Pro Bowl; the best bits of what little I saw: Matt Schaub throwing 2 TD passes (Wahoowa!), and Michael Irvin spouting off about, well, everything. Hilarious. I sort of love him. (I wonder if Goodell thinks he can move the thing back to HI, have [...]
Do You Sort Skittles? I Do.

Today’s been an odd one. I woke from a dream which was vivid, pleasant, and bizarre all at the same time. Nevertheless, slightly deflated at the prospect that it was only Wednesday. (This week seems somehow interminable!) But, on the way to work that feeling faded and suddenly I felt, like Tony, that “something’s coming.” [...]
What’s your neighbor renting?

*cross-posted from dc.metblogs.com Have you ever wondered what those noises coming from under the door of your neighbor down the hall really were? Was he watching a Rob Zombie film, or trying to create a real zombie? Well, the New York Times has created this awesome and engrossing interactive map of Netflix’ most rented films [...]
Thought of the day

I read this article and it was interesting and all, but you really only have to read the first paragraph. If there really are stories about how “cheapness is a new status symbol,” then obviously the consumer culture hasn’t gone anywhere.
