Yeah, so you know what’s even better than Direct Mail and Spam emails? SPAM BLOG COMMENTS. I am so tired of you Online Poker Casino folks messing up my blog – the normal spam-filtering tools don’t filter them because they only list one link instead of a zillion like most blogspam. Sooooo, I now have… Continue reading By the way, there will be no discussion of “poker” on this blog

So I have again been delinquent. But it’s because I turned A QUARTER OF A CENTURY! Yep, this year not only did I have an official party, which I haven’t done since middle school, I think, but I also had a Mom visiting for the weekend, a Dad to juggle, a job interview and a… Continue reading Aaah, blissful neglect…

Yep, scratch all that blue stuff, I knew it’d get better. When I called to cancel my credit card this morning, there was a note on their system that my wallet was at J. Crew.

Dramatis personae: me, roommate Setting: Last night, roommate’s room, after planning our St. Patrick’s Day outfits (okay, mine). ME: See you in the O’morning. ROOMMATE: O’Kay! ME: Goodnight’O! O’Fin. Told ya we sucked, didn’t I? Happy (almost) St. Paddy’s Day, everyone!

Okay, I don’t actually know anyone who’s about to be literally stabbed in the back by their double-crossing pal Brutus, but I’ve been waiting to say that to someone all month. Beware! BEWARE!!!

So long story short, an unfortunate incident in a Lucky Brand Dungarees outlet store revealed me in an outfit comprised of a top and bottom which were never intended to be worn together, which were then dubbed “The Smurf Suit”. Now whenever I wear anything blue, Smurf references abound. So much so, that I decided… Continue reading La, la, la la la la…

This whole “triathalon” thing is hard work! But I seriously kicked my own ass this weekend. Went for a hell of a jog every day last week except Friday, so I was already feeling more exercised than usual – then on Saturday I ran a hella-hard and fast time at the gym, then walked/was walked… Continue reading I have successfully kicked my own ass
