It’s a good thing I have friends who are also left-handed, otherwise I would forget that International Left-Handers Day existed. Every year. And hey, guess what? It’s today. Now I can start my well wishes earlier in the day rather than saying tomorrow, “Hey, know what yesterday was?”
In honor of lefty day, here’s a list [...]
I don’t know how everyone else falls into their favorites, but it’s occurred to me that my system is rather… unique.
Rarely is it instantaneous. It’s a slow process, determining my favorites. And not because I’m mulling over it and trying to decide if I enjoy it. It’s because I completely forget about it.
Example: Chuck. Quite [...]
We have to dig way back here for a moment.
It’s 1988. I’m in Kindergarten, and the class is sitting Indian-style (as we called it those days) in a circular formation on the carpet. We’re discussing one thing or the other; I can’t recall the topic of conversation. Fellow schoolmates are telling stories, things that happened [...]
In entertainment, there’s always a Big Thing. Clearly, at the moment, it’s vampires. Which I couldn’t care less about, to be honest, despite my middle school nickname (The pale skin and black hair are natural, guys). But believe it or not, eventually this will fade. Something is bound to take its place.
Angels will be the [...]
On my way out the door this morning, I noticed a rather frightening thing.
I am beginning to accumulate a pile of books. This may not seem unusual, but for someone with obsessive-compulsive tendencies I never have piles of books. Upon closer inspection of my bedroom, I realized why this pile exists.
Do you see any space [...]
I’ll be the first to lust after the newest iMac model, staring at its photo on the Apple website. Or signing up for yet another social networking site (because, honestly, we all like talking about ourselves). And I certainly enjoy getting together with my fellow geeks and discussing the latest & greatest and reminiscing about [...]
I recently went on a mini shopping spree at thinkgeek, which I rarely do, but I required some geeky necessities. If anyone’s looking to purchase something from that site between now and June 30th, use discount code 9CBB. You get $5 off $25, or $10 off $50. I won’t be using it and I’d hate [...]
I like things. But I'm weird about it. I ramble about my addictions. I go on for a week about new RAM, listen to the same album over & over for a solid month, or buy a stack of new books when I have two shelves of literature I haven't yet read.
I have also edited that previous paragraph thrice. And I just used the word "thrice" in standard conversation. Yeah.
