In which it’s so sweet, the weather is! This morning (and by ‘morning,’ you should understand that I mean ‘early afternoon’), I went to the gas station and bought the Sunday Des Moines Register. Then I came home and, in my Indian cotton wrap-around skirt and purple built-in bra tank top that AmmZon gave me […]
In which I tell you about my lunch break. I went home for lunch because I have no cash. I passed The Ex and Truck on the way down 2nd street as they were going the other way in the Big Black Truck. Truck called me and said, “Your brake light is out again. I […]
In which overdoing it is good. I recently asked my brother Jayrob Jethro Cutlet Clampett Morgan Smith the Third (FEE!), as we were chatting about his new job via Gtalk, if he had any Pat Metheny I could have, as I’d been having a hankerin’ to listen to some Metheny. He said maybe. I said […]
In which The Ex has a great idea. When The Ex dropped Truck off after work tonight, he said, “So I’ve been meaning to ask you something. I don’t know how you’re gonna take this, but–” “Sure,” I said, “Go ahead.” “Well, I’m thinking about having a big party,” he said, looking at me intently […]
In which I’m doing a lovely meme. Vuboq did a meme and now I’m doing it too because I follow Vuboq everywhere. (Yes, dad, even off cliffs.) Here are the questions Vuboq wrote just especially for me: 1. Why are you still in Iowa? Because it’s easy to live here. It’s cheap. It’s safe. It’s […]
In which some kinds of technology totally suck ass. I’m trying to call a vendor to get an RMA so I can return a faulty piece of equipment – a little 8-port router with 3 bad ports. The system either doesn’t like my phone (a Polycom VoIP phone) or is not functioning properly. For example, […]
In which I’m day-dreaming. A headhunter solicited me via email today. She’d found me through my Monster.com account. (At first I thought it was one of those work-at-home spam things, so I made fun of her last name – which is ‘Bedgood,’ and like you could have helped yourself in my situation – but apparently […]
In which I won’t die with the most toys, but I may just die with zero stress… and nothing to show for it. The winner isn’t the one with the most toys, she’s the one who has what she values most. I don’t value stuff all that much, or fame, or any of those quantifiable […]
In which I’m anonymous. I just went to the falafel place for dinner. While I was ordering, I noticed that someone had printed out my review of the restaurant and brought it in to them. It was sitting on the counter near the register. All authorship had been stripped from the document, and only the […]
In which I love my dog so much omg it hurts. I’ll tell you what’s better than a puppy! An old dog. An old dog who heels like heaven. This morning (well, afternoon, really) when I got up I decided to walk to the coffee shop with Bindu. Alas, I couldn’t find a leash for […]
