nyc

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

Entertaining things to do in New York City does NOT include driving to and from JFK airport. Can I say taxi? Get. a. taxi. Entertaining things to do in NYC does include... going to "The Producers" with my parents (although it was way too bawdy for my dad, it was hysterical), ...

weekend

Friday, April 28th, 2006

It's been a quiet week in here. Work has been busy, busy and I'm having to do some overtime 'cause I'm leaving tomorrow for NYC for a few days... I'm picking up the family at the airport there tomorrow. See, my parents are taking a long, long overdue trip for ...

hi ho, hi ho

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Aaaaand it's been one of those days. You know the kind where you have to convince yourself to wait until after work to start drinking? Ring a bell? Yep, that was my day... and I worked from home. I'd say that's a sign. I've been job hunting at night. It's less entertaining ...

Monday, April 24th, 2006

I have punctuation issues. When people send emails that are loaded with exclamation points, it bugs me. They're like hyperactive bunnies copulating all over the damn page.

why abstinence doesn't work

Friday, April 21st, 2006

In the Boston Globe this morning.. State widens teaching of abstinence and the subtitle, "Romney gives faith group sex ed grant"— take off the last two words and it reads way better. ;) I had a lovely phone call from one of my good friends yesterday. One who I know is ...

entertain me please

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

Today was the first time I didn't get carded when buying liquor at a liquor store. It was sorta surreal. Now I feel old. (Everyone who's older than me, shut up. :P) We now have three people working in our office. While I was gone, they hired a new guy and ...

happy birthday old man

So it's somebody's birthday today. Not that I'm naming names or anything. 'Cause he's old you see, and every birthday is just another footfall to the grave. ;P Happy Birthday dear.
