An Anniversary…
Today is a strange anniversary day. August 31st is always a day that makes me look back at my past. I got married 12 years ago today. (I got divorced in 1993.) So it makes me look back on the past, on the reasons I made choices that I did. [...]
Come on Guys – This Way!
Turn right? Turn left? Oh my, which way to go?!? Well, it seems that smart human sperm have memory. We’ve all known that some men think with other things then their brain – but was it really the smart sperm doing the thinking for them? [via Metafilter]
Every sperm is sacred [...]
Comment Phobia…
Know what amuses me to know end? When I follow a link on a site to another site that takes me to another site, and by the time I hit the third site I start to think, “Wow! This person is pretty interesting!” I go to add them to my Blogroll, then [...]
Skins, Returning to a Blog Near You…
I’m going to try to bring skins back to the blog this weekend, but I have a *long* to-do list of other things to do too. So I’m considering being lazy and just using the same pop-up window design (with my smiling face all over it) for the pop-ups on other skins. You [...]
I’m a TiVoTee!
I know I’ll want these someday: Hinsdale How-to TiVo upgrade instructions. It just cracks me up that you have to “Bless” your TiVo before you upgrade it!
STOP the PRESS!
Thanks to the timing of when Peter quit the game, he is being counted as the contestant voted off this round – and the polls will be closed. No need to vote anymore – I’m still in Big Blogger All-Star. WHEW! That was scary, because I *really* didn’t want to see Rusty [...]
Yeah! What He Said!
Mike, aka cootieszilla, has me laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes with this fantastic tribute to me! Do it for the future Christines! Go and Vote Rusty Out!
Thank you. We now return to our regularly scheduled program.
Call for Help, Once Again…
Remember that little Big Blogger All-Star! game? Well, guess who was nominated again? Yes, me. Craptastic. So once again, a plea for help. See, Peter has quit the game, which puts me in a really uncomfortable position of having to vote off the one person I didn’t want to see [...]
Pie is Good…
Weebl and Bob This is hysterical! Pie is good. Mmmmm… [via JavaJunction]
I’d Like a Big Pie…
A pizza pie that is. I was late because of stuff we had to wrap up at the office in order to meet a 9am deadline tomorrow morning, but I still made it to meet some of the H-Town Bloggers tonight!
Kymberlie left the office before I did, so she was already there [...]
It Just Tastes Better…
As Ken recently mentioned, there are Pepsi campuses and there are Coke campuses. (Coke the drink, thank you.) Back when I went to A&M, we had both drinks on campus, but I have noticed this change. So, which sort of campus was your school? And which one do you think is [...]
Why Would You Want to Come Here?
It was announced today that the Olympic choices for the 2012 Summer Games has been narrowed to either San Francisco or New York. Houston and Washington DC have been eliminated. And it leaves me wondering …
Why would you want to come here anyways? I can’t imagine summer games here. Heck, it [...]
The Breath of Life…
Someone dared to turn down Microsoft? Yes. HP has decided to offer Corel WordPerfect with consumer PCs instead of Microsoft Works. I used to use WordPerfect all the time, and I still use it at home. I love WordPerfect, and to this day hate Word. I gave in, because I [...]
Want to Get Together?
The H-Town Bloggers are getting together tonight at Star Pizza! It’s been years since I’ve been there – so I can’t wait! Want to come and join us?
The Results are In…
Well, Ahoy There!
Not only have I now learned the origin of “ahoy”, I have also learned this interesting little tidbit about the way we answer the phone:
“Alexander Graham Bell suggested “ahoy!” as the standard telephone greeting, but it didn’t catch on–for obvious reasons, you may think. Don’t be so sure. Brooklyn College professor Allen Koenigsberg, author of [...]
May I Have Your Attention, Please?
I would like to take a moment to wish Brian Kane a very happy birthday! I would spank him, but the wife might not be too happy about that. Instead I’ll just quietly hum “Happy Birthday to You” in his honor. I don’t have to pay royalty fees* if I just hum [...]
300 Exposures…
Rannie the Photojunkie has come up with another fantastic photography related project called 300 Exposures. He is looking for 30 people to sign up and each submit 10 photos. He will then set up a Gallery of the submitted photos for each day. I think it’s a fantastic idea, so I signed [...]
Free! Free! Free!
With my birthday exactly one month away, I would like to point out that Amazon.com is now offering free shipping on orders of $25 or more. [via Dawn]
Just a Little Request…
*GASP* I have been nominated to be voted off of the Big Blogger All-Star game! Well, if there is one thing that being a Blogwhore taught me, it was to know when to publicly beg for help.
Please, pretty please, with sugar on top please go to the Big Blogger Yahoo Group, sign up [...]
