Bush v. Bush…
For your entertainment while I can’t sleep – check out The Daily Show with Jon Stewart “Bush v. Bush” – too, too funny! Watch the president debate himself! Good night, and may God continue to bless America… [Via Geoff]
Now if only I wasn’t so wired and I could go back to sleep…
Counting the Hours…
Time is a funny thing when you stop to think about it. 12 hours from now I’ll be rushing around trying to get everything wrapped up at work. 24 hours from now, I’ll be at Jennifer’s house.
48 hours from now, the “H-Town meets Beantown” gathering will have come and gone. 22 people [...]
Time…
No time to talk. No time to stop and think even. Took time, however, to update Pixelog. A good photo always soothes me.
Things to do tonight:
- Pack clothes.
- Pack cameras.
- Drop off the rent check.
- Clean the hermit crab house.
- Print more Big Pink Cookie cards.
- Print nametags for Friday night.
- Obsess [...]
Ok, I Need That Arm to Drive…
I’ve seen the commercials for it, and I’ve been meaning to check it out … and I must say, I absolutely LOVE Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Love it, love it, love it! I laughed so hard through the two episodes I watched tonight – if you have never seen it, I [...]
Perfume Hell…
I sat at the receptionist’s desk today while she was at lunch (we rotate her lunch coverage) and now I am in perfume hell. Gag. My hands smell like her perfume. My hair smells like her perfume from it being on the phone. My neck smells like her perfume. My [...]
Hi Honey! I’m Home!
You may have noticed yesterday that if you popped in here at BPC, there was no site to be found. I’m sure you were shocked and confused … as I was when I discovered it myself! It turns out … well … uhm … I’m a dork. At the beginning of the [...]
Not About the Bling Bling…
Really now, why can’t *every* store be more like the Free Store? Because I am all about the free. Shopping would be so much more fun if you didn’t have to pay for a thing and it was perfectly legal to do so. [via Ste.]
However, I guess it would be a flawed [...]
Sigh of Relief…
My site is back! My site is back! The Evites have gone out for H-Town meets Beantown on Friday! All is good in the world!
If you’re going to be in Boston, near Boston, or want to go to Boston for dinner and drinks Friday at 6pm in Harvard Square, let me know. [...]
It’s In the Genes…
I can’t help but wonder if my love of Boston is somehow tied to the fact that the first Selleck in America, David Selleck, moved to Boston in 1641? He was a “Boston Soape boyler,” which is also ironic because I make soap. I would check out the site where David Selleck lived [...]
Blogathon’ers Going Strong!
I could have posted about all the people doing the Blogathon earlier, but I was offline running in circles around Houston, so this is the first time I’ve sat down with the computer all day. If you want my opinion, after midnight is when the Blogathon really gets funny – people get way too [...]
Housework ADD…
I have housework ADD. First I started in the kitchen. Clean the counter, scrub the sink… oh look, this goes in the bathroom, not the kitchen. Cart the item off to the bathroom. Oh look, I should put this away. You know, I should paint my nails – I really [...]
How Could Something so Good be so Bad?
Jennifer pointed out BuyMusic.com the other day, and it seemed so wonderful to have a music alternative for PC users. I was looking forward to the weekend and the chance to dig through the site to learn more about it and the features they offer.
Fortunately for me, although unfortunate for Jenn, they showed their [...]
Root, Root, Root for the Home Team!
Back in 1984, I went to my first and only Cubs game in Chicago. They played the Astros, and later that year we found out we were moving to Houston. Tonight? Tonight I’ll be sitting in Section 306, Row 5 at MinuteMaid Park (click on the section number on the map and [...]
Cry for Help…
Sporks needed. Badly. For so many reasons. Long day. Nothing to say. Need a spork. Now. Spork posse, activate!
Boston Bingo!
Soon I will be traveling. Seeing new places and new faces. While I’m in Boston, I think I just might play some “Hipster Bingo” – I hear it’s all the rage! Click the card for the large version. [via bitter-girl.com, where I stole the graphic. Originally found at Catbirdseat.]
I’m [...]
Office Observations…
My observations after a very long day at work:
:: I can use a Marks-A-Lot marker to dial my phone. This requires far less effort than dialing with my hand because I don’t have to reach quite so far.
:: All people that use “Thx” for “Thanks” in business e-mails should be bitch-slapped. [...]
One Week to Boston!
In one week, we will be on the plane heading for Boston. When I told Jason that Boston is slightly north of New York City, he asked me if there will be snow there. I certainly hope not! Not in August!
I am (finally) sending out the Evites for the “H-Town meets Beantown” [...]
Flippity Flop
I noticed on CNN the other day that Flip-flops are gaining office popularity. As cool as it would be to work at an office that allowed flip-flops, I’m thinking it would be really annoying too. Maybe it’s just me, but wouldn’t that “thwap-thwap” sound as people walked down the hall get on your [...]
Lost…
I’ve lost the little menu with my bookmarklets on my browser, and I don’t know how to get it back. I’m feeling rather lost because I use it frequently. Does anyone know where I can find it? (IE6, Win98. Work’s choice of OS, not mine.) *sniff, sniff* Come back, [...]
The Simple Things…
I picked up two rolls of film from the Lomo yesterday, photos taken last week in downtown Houston and over the weekend in Galveston, and I was thrilled with how a lot of them turned out.
Sometimes it’s the little things, the simple things that you overlook that make you the most happy. New Lomo [...]
