My Current Obsessions
July 22, 2008
I’d Stand Up and Punch Them Out
I have been busy with working, at the real workplace and also on a fall fashion project I took on to allow myself to indulge in fall fashion. (Actually, that’s a lie; the freelance cash is all going toward a cleaning service, which will improve my life exponentially.)
Other things that have been happening, which may [...]

Exposing the Geeks With Just One Syllable
Setting: Weekday Morning, Creative Review Meeting, 10:38 a.m.
Boss: So, Darth Vader isn’t the No. 1 movie villian of all time?
Co-Worker: No, No. 1 is Voldemort.
Me: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Co-workers Who Are Harry Potter Nerds: Laughter.
Co-Workers Who Are Not Potter Nerds: Confused looks.

I Know Our Honeymoon Was Seven Months Ago
But I finally just got this photo scanned into digital format — while in Mexico, we went horseback riding on the beach, and you were also allowed to unsaddle your horse and take it into the ocean for a swim. It was my first experience both riding bareback and swimming with a horse. Apparently horses [...]

How Have I Not Written About MVP?
People. This show is ridiculous. It centers around a faux team of hockey players and the many, many ladies who bonk them. It’s airing on SoapNet at 11 p.m. Thursday nights; that net picked it up from Canadian channel CBC.
The most ridiculous part is that CBC canceled the show after its first season, but yet [...]

So Hot Right Now
There are two playlists on my iPod right now — the latest CD by The Kills, and The Ting-Tings, and they are right next to other thanks to the wild coincidence of having ‘the’ in their names — and I think it’s weird that both albums have bizarre songs with similar themes.
The Kills, ‘Sour Cherry’: [...]

For You There’s Not Any Warning
I probably shouldn’t admit this in such a public forum (oh, hi, my full real name), but I have misbehaved this past week, and I must confess.
I have been picking and choosing which stop signs and traffic signals I will obey.
There are two atrociously wasteful stop signs near our place, and one near work, and [...]

Fire in the Disco! Fire in the Taco Bell!
Before I go into this long-ass recap of the late-night fire alarm, know this: The fire alarm seems to go off frequently in our building. It’s not unusual for me to find the big heavy fire doors locked shut in our wing when I leave for work early in the morning. It’s not unusual for [...]

I Left the Game to Find You at the Pavement
The Husband and I have a number of games we play, some on a daily basis, some weekly, some very rarely. These are not board games (though we do play those) or video games (Jesus Christ the Lord Almighty knows how much we play those), these are made-up games that exist, most likely, between the [...]

Going to 16th and Valencia
Me: I had a dream last night that Barnes and Noble was having a huge sale — buy nine books, get 11 free.
Him: That would be a crazy sale.
Me: It was awesome. It was all books — new releases, hardcovers, paperbacks. Any book. It was a great dream.
Him: It was also an incredibly nerdy dream.
As [...]
