Day 9: Nevada
1 July 2008I thought it would be at least a little hilarious to be at a casino in Reno at 10am on a Sunday. Over the course of the day I made at least 14 jokes via various means of communication about shooting a man just to watch him die, so I suppose I got my money’s [...]
mashed
20 June 2008I really hope that at some point in my life, someone will give me a Mr Potato Head as a gift by sending him to me piece by piece in the mail (one day, a hand… the next, a moustache…), but I don’t think that works very well as a PR campaign, Disneyland.

if you don’t know me by now you will never never never know me
16 June 2008I spend a lot of time and money on Amazon. More so than any other retail site or store, easily. Which is why it’s so upsetting that they haven’t figured out which email blasts would work on me.
(Click picture to enlarge). So, let me get this straight– you’re trying to sell me a device that [...]
the week in pirates
28 May 2008Check out Latvia’s contribution to the Eurovision Song Contest. I hope they’re making it the new national anthem.
a really important update about my day
27 May 2008I took today off so I could pack and paint my apartment. Here are some things I’ve been doing instead:
- Deciding it was a good day to eat oreos for breakfast (12 of them, to be specific)
- Deciding it was a good day to break my One Diet Soda Per Week Rule (I have an [...]
I don’t think my t9 function will auto-complete my thoughts on this one
7 May 2008The Pope will text daily messages of inspiration and hope during the six-day Sydney event while digital prayer walls will be erected at event sites and the church will set up a Catholic social networking Web site akin to a Catholic Facebook.
Toy Story
5 May 2008File this under Wow, Didn’t See That One Coming: I am now obsessed with Mr Potato Head.
I have a couple of theories about why this is happening. My General Toy Infatuation has been going on for awhile, but it managed to largely contain itself to windup toys and, you know, things related to pirates. One [...]
april’s photo essay
28 April 2008So, I’m moving in a month. A lot of my stuff is going to be living in NJ with my parents (I’m trying to get them used to me just abandoning them with stuff I don’t want to deal with for when I have children) so I’ve started packing it up and taking it home [...]
pope my ride
15 April 2008So, the Pope’s in town. (I just looked for a generic NYT article to link to here but they seem to be cranking out a new one every five minutes or so and I am overwhelmed with options. So, you’ll have to trust me, even without Google News Search backing me up). I got an [...]
The perils of amazon prime: A cautionary tale, by cristin
10 April 2008So, as mentioned, I am home from sales conference. I approach conference like I’m going on American Gladiators in terms of preparation and then recovery time, and also the terrible platitudes that we hurl at each other over the course of the week- “Halfway there, guys! Stay strong!” The night before I left I found [...]
