Man, I hate shopping — I love merchandise, don’t get me wrong. I just hate lines, parking, fitting rooms, etc. So I adore the Internet for such things, especially since my inner miser has forced me to become extremely savvy about how to get free shipping deals. But sometimes, Internet shopping bites you in the… Continue reading Two card stud?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Every time I’ve had to spell something over the phone using words to clarify each letter, I’ve failed miserably. Not at the spelling part, mind you — at the clarification part. I never learned the NATO Phonetic Alphabet or any other useful and easily memorizable way of doing things, so I always panic and make… Continue reading Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Back in action
Theoretically, I won’t be working insane hours after this week… which means I might actually be able to blog again soon! I know you can barely contain your excitement, Imaginary Readers, but do your best. :)
Wife Aggro

Tendynitis
“Tendonitis”, according to the Virginia Mason ER. “Tendinitis” (Redirected from Tendonitis), according to Wikipedia. “Tendynitis”, according to me and Grant mocking the above disparity. No matter how you slice it, my tendons are itising, thanks to a recent on-the-job injury. So I won’t be blogging as vivaciously until the condition subsides. But never fear, Imaginary… Continue reading Tendynitis
Target: Always Good For A Laughâ„¢
So Target is a fun place. Grant and I have been particularly delighted by their Hello Kitty Band-Aids, which have been appearing in the travel section for a few months now. I randomly strolled by the full-on first aid aisle to see if they had bigger boxes with assorted sizes of delightful pink bandages, and… Continue reading Target: Always Good For A Laughâ„¢
Owl Haven
Wow, I’ve been off the blogosphere for a WHILE now! But I swear, I have a good excuse — I went to my college reunion. (OK, that was weeks ago, but since then I’ve both gotten sick and started a new job, both of which suck up valuable blogging time. But it all started with… Continue reading Owl Haven
Best spam EVER
So good, I’m plugging him for free. But you gotta click on the image to view the full size with text details. Go nuts, Imaginary Readers. Hi Virginia, This is shameless commercial plug for a new product, hopefully, however, it is just creative enough for you to appreciate. We just introduced a new line of… Continue reading Best spam EVER
“You will have a prosperous month.”
Those Chinese fortune cookie messages used to be so dull. Even when it was good news, it was either devoid of creativity, or imposed with some lame time restriction. “You will have a good day tomorrow.” Seriously, we got that one a few months ago. WTF? Not even a good WEEK? And how about “next… Continue reading “You will have a prosperous month.”
Citrus x Limon
I’ve been consuming an awful lot of lemonade lately. They say lemon water is an excellent thing to drink to help alkalize your system and detoxify any impurities and whatnot. And who knows where “they” get that sort of thing, but I’ve always really enjoyed lemon water, so why the hell not? Lately, I’ve been… Continue reading Citrus x Limon
