Flying

Remember a few weeks ago when I posted that thing about how awesome flying is? And how excited I was about it. Yeah. WRONG! Yesterday I was involved in trying to fly home for 12 hours. 2 airports. 2 entirely different airlines. Hours and hours of delays. But at least I didn’t end up stuck [...]

Explanation

That picture is one that my brother took on his recent trip to Japan. He brought me lunch yesterday and forced me to post it on my website. So there you go. Japanese frogs.

Happy Belated Father’s Day

I know that it is a day late, but I wanted to say Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s out there, but especially my dad. He has done amazing things on my house. (As has mom, but this isn’t about mother’s day.) I don’t even want to think where my house would be right [...]

I Wanna Go

Last Night

Last night I was so tired from the weekend that I went to sleep at 7:10, basically. And I woke up at 6:30 this morning. So tell me, dear reader, how it is possible that now I want to go to sleep again? Do you ever feel like the more you sleep, the more you [...]

U-Haul

Yesterday I had the pleasure of driving a U-Haul truck for the first, and hopefully last, time ever. I had to go get the cabinets from Kelly’s parents, and it seemed like renting a truck was the best way to handle the situation. Although in retrospect it probably would have been more fun to make [...]

Kelly’s Parents

I have this new house. And in this new house is a kitchen that looks like it was made by a deranged carpenter on meth. Seriously. None of it is like anyone in their right mind would want it. But it is what I have because kitchens are super expensive to upgrade. That is unless [...]

Nightmares

In my continuing effort to turn this blog into the most depressing place I can make it, today I’d like to talk about nightmares. Specifically the fact that I have them constantly. In fact, it is very rare that I go for more than a few days without waking up from a terrifying nightmare. It [...]

A Night in the Park

Let me tell you MY idea of a great night in the park. Let’s start off by making it about 90 degrees. Okay, awesome. Then let’s fill me up with really greasy Chinese food. Great. Now let’s sit around while that bakes in my stomach and watch a crappy play. Yes! So ostensibly, that’s my [...]

An Upper

Since that last post was such a downer, I wanted to post an upper. Back in high school I played the saxophone. Quite a bit, I might add. And I wasn’t half bad. Maybe a quarter bad, but that is only because I didn’t practice as much as I should have. After graduating, though, my [...]

Loneliness

For various reasons, I’ve been spending a lot more time alone lately than I’m used to. That is, unless you count the 2 cats and 1 dog that are constantly fighting for my attention when they aren’t off doing who knows what. As an aside, it does worry me when Snowy or Audrey will disappear [...]

Random Ruminations

- Garlic smells really bad if you leave it sitting out for 5 days after being cooked. – Changing the filter on your air conditioner can make a huge difference on the performance of said air conditioner. – I rented a U-Haul. On Sunday I’m going out to Kelly’s parents to pick up their old [...]

The Land of the Rising Sun

As many of you may know, and few of you may not know, I have a brother. And right now he is on an airplane on his way to Japan. At least I think that he is on an airplane right now. See, I forgot to get his flight number so I can’t do that [...]

Death

As I’ve grown older, I’ve definitely gotten better at handling various situations. I’m not going to say that I’m perfect, because I’m not close. But I do have less of a temper, and I do look at things in a more mature way. I think back on some of the ways that I reacted to [...]

Metrolink

I took the Metrolink to work this morning, partly for old time sake, and partly because I’m trying to decide if it is worth it to take the link to work. My Wash U pass expires at the end of June, and after that I would have to pay $60 a month to ride. I [...]
