1. What was the last movie you saw in a theater? Double feature with TPO – Frost/Nixon and Slumdog Millionaire. Both of them very good. 2. What is your favorite movie theater snack? Movie Popcorn… mmmmmmmmmm. Delish. It will be the death of all my fitness goals. 3. Have you ever snuck in ‘outside’ food [...]
On March 27th, 2004, I saw the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. That film prompted me to write the prior post about finding my voice. A few months ago, I also posted about my struggle with the 70-page Stretch. Go ahead… take some time to read them both. What isn’t mentioned in those [...]
REPOST FROM MARCH 28th, 2004: I have read almost everything by Nick Hornby. The man is one of my favorite authors (Kurt Vonnegut being my absolute favorite of all time). The reason I mention him is because in the Thunder Road chapter of SongBook he writes about how he eventually “found his voice” as an [...]
So annoyed – the past two nights, I’ve been waking up at around 3-4am from a dead sleep. It’s starting to drive me a bit batty because I am NOT the kind of person that functions well on less than 7 hours sleep. The thing that’s really bothering me, though, is that despite feeling completely [...]
Today, I completely geeked out and bought a $100 universal remote control that will program itself. Before TPO left, we were using 3 remotes to fulfill all of our entertainment needs. Four if you include the XBox 360 controller. One each for the TV, DVD/VCR, and the Cable/DVR box. We, at one point, were down [...]
It’s been a REALLY long time since I’ve posted a quiz. Granted, I did the TMI Tuesday last week, but that doesn’t really count as a quiz. Your Word is “Think” You see life as an amazing mix of possibilities, ideas, and fascinations. And sometimes you feel like you don’t have enough time to take [...]
I am much better now, thank you. I had 4 four-hour class sessions last week in addition to working overtime for a boss who’s pissed off at me for something that he did to himself… all while dealing with the reality of TPO being really gone FOR REAL. It was a bit overwhelming.
I miss TPO. Work is retarded. My life is in upheaval. I’m a bundled up ball of stress and depression right now. It’s temporary, it will pass because I’m adjusting to life without TPO. Intellectually, I know this and I’m dealing with it. What I need to do is vent. I would love to just [...]
I haven’t in the past ever done a TMI Tuesday, but I find myself wanting to post something, but having nothing really to say on this blog… which struck me as odd because this blog is supposed to be my main one. Oh well.. Here goes – my first foray into TMI Tuesday: 1. Would [...]
Here are all the ways in which my New Year has completely blown so far (and we’re only on day three): My partner-in-crime, SpecialK, moved off the island last Monday. Did I mention that I’m not big in the friend department? Her and her hubby’s departure cut the number of my on-island friends in half [...]
