Inflection point II

Thursday, April 29th, 2004

Last night before I went to bed, I noticed that if I tripled the number of bookshelves I have, I still wouldn’t have enough shelf space for all my books (and that’s not counting the boxes of books left in Houghton and at my Dad’s.)

Dinner party!

Thursday, April 29th, 2004

I saw this on another weblog and I thought I’d use it here. At first the idea was really fun but then I saw the people I was inviting and it looks a little creepy. If you could have a dinner party and the only limitations were a) total number of people including […]

Inflection point

Wednesday, April 28th, 2004

A couple weeks ago while wandering around Target, I noticed that a person could buy a portable CD player ($9.99) for less than the cost of an actual CD ($14.99). Pretty interesting when you consider that the CD player was actually assembled and shipped across the Pacific, as opposed to being stamped out of […]

We are off to the cabin! I think we’ll have a great time. I plan on relaxing and having a wood fire and eating steak and eating at cute restaurants and reading (maybe on this one, I don’t expect a big club scene up there) and breathing air that’s less polluted! Just […]

Page 23, paragraph 5

Thursday, April 22nd, 2004

To steal an idea that’s bouncing around weblogs.asp.net at the moment:
Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 23, and post the fifth sentence on the page. Instead of the nearest book, I’ll do all of the books I currently have by my bedside.
“Another part of that job is to make sure that […]

Pretty much chronic

Wednesday, April 21st, 2004

I’m tired. I don’t know why. Remember a couple years ago when Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was big and people would find out that the reason they had no energy or motivation wasn’t because they were lazy or whatever it was because they were chronically fatigued. Which was also a syndrome. So, […]

Being an adult is getting old. Maybe it’s living here in Southern California where I know that I won’t be able to buy a house, have kids, or work part-time without constantly worrying about my finances but there doesn’t seem to be much variety. Work, don’t work, watch movies, read books, eat in, […]

The Prince and Me

Friday, April 16th, 2004

Yesterday was my day off and I went to the cheap matinee and watched ‘The Prince and Me.” I’m not ashamed because the prince was pretty darn cute and I had a total bonding thing going on with a theater full of girls of all ages. There were no guys or men in […]

My best friend is pregnant. We’ve been friends since the first day of the third grade when we met at the bus stop and she asked me, “Hi, little girl, are you starting kindergarten?” I am … not tall. But then again I never have been so I’m used to it. […]

I hate to post about work and totally dump my problems but I want to post and it would be weird to post about anything but what I’m thinking about all the time. My new supervisor really is a ball breaker. Ugh. Suddenly my little laid back branch is a stress cesspool. […]
