Dinosaurs by moonlight
31 January 2007Did you know that you can buy tickets to spend a night camping out at the Museum of Natural History? And they take you on a tour with flashlights to see the dinosaurs?? How has this not come to my attention yet? Oh wait, because the ageist tyrants at the AMNH say you have to [...]
30 January 2007
I have many things to tell you. However, first you must tell ME something, something I would normally reserve for my weekly harassments of Webmaster Kyle (”kyyyyyyleeeee, why doesn’t my picture posting work? How do I change my blooooogroll? How come 24 was so boooooring last night?”) but I suspect that he is busy with [...]
Dear Veronica, Marry Me? Love, Sam I Am
25 January 2007Yes, that is Veronica Mars reading Green Eggs and Ham to small children. I’m so happy I might explode.
picture pages, picture pages, open up your picture pages
25 January 2007Last night at the gym I decided to try swimming for the first time in 15 years. I don’t know why I thought this would be a good idea (yes, I do– you can’t swing a copy of Self Magazine without hitting an article about how good swimming is for your joints, and if I’m [...]
Let’s get {a} physical, physical
23 January 2007Today I took a vacation day from work so that I could have a physical and then spend the rest of the day being cranky about the fact that I had to fast before my bloodwork. I don’t think I’ve had a physical since high school, so it seemed like a good idea, and every [...]
You may already be a winner
22 January 2007ALA winners! Book Thief! Jordan’s divison gets a newbery medal! John Green bats a thousand! Katie Fee and all of Bloomsbury celebrate wildly! Words everywhere! Except in Floatsam, which is totally awesome!
For those of you keeping score, I was accurate on exactly one (1) of my predictions, boasting a 100% increase over last year. (Or [...]
Oh, and also
22 January 2007When Allison and I lived together senior year I would frequently pepper her with questions regarding goats. She had raised, trained, and showed goats in 4H growing up, so she had a lot to say. Most of the time the goat questions would come out of nowhere– we’d be loaded into the van headed to [...]
And also
22 January 2007While I was at the gym yesterday working on my fitness there was some kind of gymnastics or dance team recital or competition for very small children going on in one of the large gyms, so as I was walking towards the weight room (where, don’t worry, I didn’t touch anything that weighed more than [...]
The Waiting is the Hardest Part
22 January 2007To take my mind off the fact that I can’t get the ALA webcast to load…
One of The Boyfriend’s friends is at Sundance, and she saw Veronica Mars girl and Paul Rudd! Hanging out! Because he’s going to be on the show! This totally makes it okay that Veronica Mars has to go on hiatus [...]
we all know what bears do in the woods
18 January 2007So, when I was 16, I was not cool. I split all of my time between studying, reading the US News & World Report college listings, participating in wholesome activities provided by my church youth group, and not drinking or making out with boys. What a difference a decade makes. Just in case you don’t [...]
