Just what I wanted

2009-12-19T17:46:22Z

Even though I babysit the Tibbles every Friday, I rarely get to see my nephew Cade. He's at school by the time I get there and I leave before he gets home. I spend the time in between talking about bats with Nolan and listening to Liam tell me eve...

I heard this song on the way home from the controversial cookie bakeathon last night. I immediately fell in love. I think it was line about looking psychotic in a balaclava. It was just so damn much fun to day. I've since listened to this song ab...

The Spirit of Giving: 4 Duets

2009-12-12T16:57:34Z

I like to start my workday (after the coffee & Ellen DeGeneres) by choosing a soundtrack the day. Oftentimes this is either listening to 89.3 The Current or just hitting shuffle. If I'm feeling extra procrastinatey I have to create a playlist for ...

Stuff I've been reading: 1 sentence reviews (11/09)

2009-12-07T04:03:30Z

This month has been positively shameful. I blame a lot of it on how Await Your Reply totally wrecked me, and made everything else seem boring and unimportant. I only finished two books in November and I didn't like one of them. How sad am I? But,...

The Dawson's Dilemma

2009-12-05T17:58:48Z

There are certain pieces of art -- music, books, movies, tv shows -- that click with you in ways that are hard to define. Oftentimes mere words cannot explain the feelings you have for certain things. The heart wants what it wants, right? Though I...

How pie ruined my Thanksgiving

2009-11-30T03:55:44Z

Do you have any idea how much my Thanksgiving was ruined? RUINED! It was ruined by the fact that I am hopelessly, utterly in love with a song that talks about pie in a positive light. I spent the entire holiday breaking singing about pie. I am so...

Some notes on the week

2009-11-22T03:35:57Z

I had a client put me on hold until after the holidays. It bummed me out. I think being "put on hold" might be a nice way of saying, don't call us, we'll call you. I watched some Dawson's Creek (I bought the complete series on DVD and it was the...
