It’s apparently 4am now, and I’m tired.

I’m not a fan of daylight savings. I just got home, and I could have sworn it was supposed to be 3am. I have a sneaking suspicion that time decided to skip 2-3am. Excuse me? Could I have that back? I had plans for that hour.

This was the real reason for this post. This [...]

Pinkified

I haven’t dyed my hair fun colors in … about 3 or 4 years (ie, when it was short.) And I haven’t had a haircut in about a year. So, I’m going to get a haircut in a few weeks, which has allowed me to be brave enough to dye my hair crazy colors again [...]

Happy Valentines Day!

Whatdya mean Valentines Day was 2 weeks ago? Lies. It was yesterday.
Due to Nick being out of town, we decided to reschedule Valentine’s Day until yesterday: When I had purchased 2 tickets to see Jonathan Coulton perform at the Rio.
So. Awesome.
First, we got to experience Paul & Storm, and “experience” is surely the right [...]

Self deprecating humor

I tend to be fairly self deprecating. I don’t actually mean any of it, and my self esteem is fine, but it’s definitely a holdover from when I had the self esteem of a particularly ugly rock. I gained a defense mechanism which was to put myself down first, and do a much better job [...]

Squishy

Usual Disclaimer: I’m body image positive. I don’t think fat people are ugly or inhuman or less deserving of love, unless they’re assholes. But that applies to skinny assholes, too. For me, I feel better at my preferred weight, and so I aim for it. I am petite, and none of this applies to other [...]

I love transit. Really, I do.

This morning, I got an email from my mother letting me know that there was a power outage, and the two bus routes that run by my place were heavily delayed. Such are the benefits of having parents who work in T-Comm.
So, Nick was going to drive in to work, and drop me off [...]

Fashionista.

Yeah, okay, so “fashionista” is the last thing anyone would ever refer to me as. But, I got some super awesome clothes from my ever so awesome Cousin Linda for Christmas, and the pants were too big, so I had to go shopping today.
I was in a bit of a tizzy as the stores she [...]

Bullet Points

I like bullet points because today, they’re named appropriately because I want to shoot things.

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Or more to the point, shoved mostly OFF the bed, because the dog decided that where I sleep is a perfectly acceptable place to sleep. I agree, which [...]

Saga of a Year and a Decade

Goodbye, 20s.
The benefit of being born right at the end of one decade means that … well, each decade represents an even x0-x0 of my life (more or less.) So, the 2000’s (did we ever come up with what we’re calling these? I still like Naughties…) were my 20s, even though I turned 30 [...]

Saga of a Door

(How much you wanna bet this won’t get as much response as my kindle post? Hey, it’s a door! Yay!)
So, the front door of my office building has been broken for weeks. It doesn’t latch properly, leaving it open a few inches most of the time. The wind blows it open, going through the door [...]
