My favorite of all Catalan holidays. Even better than the one that involves champagne, fireworks and pastries. Dia de St. Jordi is sort of comparable to our Valentine’s Day, except far richer in history, culture, lore, accuracy, and passion. So please indulge me with a ridiculously long post-holiday posting. :D The real joy of it… Continue reading Feliç Diada de Sant Jordi!

Rotator cuff woes
I don’t think I’ve ever come away from a massage with visual bruising before. I have two matching diagonal bruise-stripes from underarm to collarbone, like little raglan sleeve seams stitched entirely of pain. And the worst part is, this only made a tiny dent in all the saved-up tension I have in my shoulders, pecs,… Continue reading Rotator cuff woes
Lord of the Votes?
One Candidate to Rule Them All? Okay, I’m out. But I still found it funny to talk politics with Sam (aka Sean Astin). The Back Story: When we went to the Democratic Caucus last weekend, the Hillary camp made us hold out for one of their members to speak up for Hillary. He was late,… Continue reading Lord of the Votes?
OMG WTF IPHONE
HOLY SHIT. MY BOYFRIEND IS AWESOME. And soon, the image quality on this blog will improve.
Capitol Hill rules.

Grant and I have been in the market for a table that could serve as a desk for quite some time now, and this baby seemed perfect for the job. And… Continue reading Capitol Hill rules.
Wow, that was QUICK!
My dear mom offered to buy me the new glasses I need for my birthday, so I just went shopping for frames. This time around it was super-fast — I fell in love with the second pair of frames I tried on! Last time I went glasses shopping, it took almost a whole day to… Continue reading Wow, that was QUICK!
Garfield minus Garfield
I’m not often one to re-post a link, but the guys at Penny Arcade hit a real winner with this one. Finally, Garfield cartoons are actually funny.
Office Pranks
So being unemployed has its positives and negatives, but I find that I kind of miss the assholery that sometimes goes on in the workplace. Sure, I miss a real paycheck and having an active mind for forty hours a week and all that, but I really, REALLY miss the pranks. And I never worked… Continue reading Office Pranks
Purple is the new red
It’s official. And we at Windows Secrets adhere to the Purple Pen Protocol. Just one of the many but minor changes that I have to get used to. And honestly, it’s easier to read than red, so that’s a plus!
Viva fusion?
This is one of the strangest combos I can imagine – Zach Galifianakis doing Kanye West. The only tie I can really figure out is that both were at Bumbershoot last year. Anyone know of any other link between these two?
