I really can't believe I forgot to post this the other day, when it would have been oh so fitting, but ah well, better late than never.
I first heard about The Dresden Dolls on NPR about a month or so ago, and positively fell in love with their sound.
In particular, ...

I work in a very suburban-ish area, in the sense that it's not a big city, but there are other businesses nearby.
One is a mid-sized building, shorter than ours, that I can see from my window.
And hear.
They've been doing some sort of construction on it and I swear to god, ...

With the Porkchop out of town, I've been spending some time catching up with friends... friends who I've known ever since I moved out here, who have since graduated and moved. So today I went up to Boston for some shopping and dinner with E.
We met her "boyfriend" for dinner. ...

My dad just called in a panic.
My Ipod is frozen. There's a little lock symbol in the top corner and I've tried all the buttons I'd normally use and it's not working and...
Dad, just look at the top, where the headphone jack is? There's a button up there, move it ...

For the first time in six months last night, I had to sleep by myself.
And let me just say... that completely sucks.
Especially in the freaking winter in freaking New England.
The Porkchop is back West, handling the rest of his life, and will be gone until Sunday.
Which basically means all sorts ...

This is my day.
I almost ran out of gas on my way to work and learned that when the little gas light comes on, I can travel almost 20 miles before it sputters and dies.
Fortunately, it did that just as I was gliding downhill to the gas station. Which, ...

It's cold; I'm numb; I wanted it to snow.
It didn't.
I hate winter.

So I'm catching up on my blogs, and I'm reading this, and all I can think is "a dozen of our most relevant war plans?"
We have a dozen? and They're relevant?
Who came up with them?
What do they include?
Bearing in mind, this piece is about the Pentagon's Doomsday Plane, so we're ...

Sometime last week I heard a piece on NPR about the Oxford English Dictionary, and how they publishers put out an appeal every year for help dating certain slang words.
The list is quite long, but includes such gems as "arsey" and "as if!"
My new favorite?
"Gordon Bennett!"
As in, "Gordon Bennett! ...

A disturbingly large bug just fell from the ceiling.
It landed on my keyboard.
I screamed "son of a fuck monkey" so loud the people in the office across the hall heard me.
I've now been deemed "colorful."
Lovely.
Also, it's apparently now the talk of the office, as I've had two phone calls and ...
