No, seriously, shoot me.
31 March 2005I just heard myself say the sentence “These are my favorite kind of paper clips.”
Dad’s daily email
31 March 2005Subject: Blackberry ! Message: Playing with my new toy! I’m in Ohio! How are you? LYF (LYF means “Love, Your Father,” we like to abbreviate in my fam) Seriously, is he the most adorable man who ever lived? I am never going to be able to get married because NO ONE is better than my [...]
Success!
31 March 2005Since you are all probably dying to know what happened… I tentatively love my new blushing drugs. The wooziness wore off circa 2 pm (which means that only 65% of my work day was compromised, which is pretty typical for me) and emily won the prize for making me angry enough to attempt to blush! [...]
You’re turning violet, Violet!
30 March 2005I know this blog is beginning to read like a Blue Cross Blue Shield Doctor Finder website with all the medical issues I’ve been detailing of late, but this one is really good. I am fully in love with my tiny adorable dermatologist. This year my health insurance switched over to a plan where I [...]
Passive Aggressive, Party of 1? Your table is ready
29 March 2005I got to work today in the most inexplicably antagonistic mood I’ve ever experienced in my life. I don’t know if this is a function of having to work for a month at a job I know I’m leaving, or of eating 6 pounds in Easter chocolate last night (I made marie split a snickers [...]
Don’t even try to tell me that Kevin Bacon isn’t in Apocalypse Now
28 March 2005So we’re up to “A” in our Dude Movie project.

Corporate Awkwardness
25 March 2005Yesterday we had our company-wide quarterly meeting where they put us all in a room and have us look at power point slides while our minds wander off and start thinking of our fantasy baseball teams or the new MTV show “PoweR Girls.” At least, I’m assuming that’s what everyone else does, too. During the [...]
life in a nutshell.
24 March 2005From Overheard: Readers: Answer This Mature Query Fratboy: So my mom asks me the other day, “Do you plan on working 5 days a week, then going on 2 day benders for the rest of your life?”. I was like, “yeah”. What should I be doing, staying home and watching television with her? –LIRR
Dude, where’s my oscar winner?
24 March 2005I pity the fool who does not know my friend Courtney, in all honesty. The world is a better place with her in it, something I must have instinctively realized when I strongarmed her into hanging out with me two summers ago. Due to some lack of administrative creativity at the Columbia Publishing Course, we [...]
duck & cover
24 March 2005Whenever my friends talk about their worst fears in life (which, blissfully, is infrequently) I always give my standard response: 1) That someone I love will die (2) Getting pushed in front of a subway train (3) That, if I have children, they’ll like hockey better than baseball/ won’t like to read. You laugh, but [...]
