my very own starbucks

Category: Consumption, Not All Bad | Comments Off

aAs my loyal readers are already aware, I’m a bit of a worshipper of the caffeine goddess. but admittedly, it’s not a cheap vice. and because it’s not, i have an expectation that they could at least get that $hit right. so it’s been eating at me that consistently for the past several weeks (i [...]

and i'm not gonna take it anymore!

Category: Rants | Comments Off

i get tired. i am an inherently nice person. oh, sure, beneath the surface, there is this black, black heart that is me – the woodlands biotch. but on the surface, there is me, the day-to-day, public persona that says “please” and “thank you” and holds doors and will drop what i’m doing to work [...]

reflections – and a bit of self-indulgence

Category: Rants, Relatively Speaking | Comments Off

mom’s out visiting my sibling-with-whom-i-don’t-speak. she hasn’t seen him in fifteen years, as i have not. he’s not made the effort to go and see her, despite his abilities. she went to be a comfort to him, because his dad, her ex-husband, died. and now, from the lowest depths of cold-heartedness i have, i say [...]

stimulating the economy

and doing it my own way…
i just came up beyond a year officially having a life all my own to do with what i will. so i treated myself to something from tiffany’s. i’d never shopped there before, and it was a lot of fun to do it this weekend. thinking about that – spending [...]

shortcomings and pitfalls

Category: I $hit U Not, Rants, Tunes & Scenes | Comments Off

so we got uverse. and now, for your regularly unscheduled public service announcement:
it’s not exactly what it’s cracked up to be – but it’s not as bad as you might have heard, either. on the plus side, the picture is awesome. like you have no idea how great it is. it’s that amazing. especially on [...]

and away we go!

Category: Not All Bad, Tunes & Scenes | Comments Off

so i thought about writing about tax day; cause that’s today, and it’s on a lot of people’s minds. but not mine. i mean, i’ll be honest; i put off filing till just a few weeks ago. but i did get it done. in like an hour. online. for free. and got a refund in [...]

down, down, down the downward spiral

Category: Better Left Unsaid | Comments Off

so here’s the thing; i had a complaint about a royal biotch at work; i took it to the one person i thought would and could do something about it and instead, she pawned the job of “dealing with it” onto the one and only person that would side with the royalty and snide against [...]

and how happy was your friday?

Category: Better Left Unsaid, Rants | Comments Off

at my office, from the word go we were already at half-staff. by 2:30 we were down to just me, the receptionist and one other person.
and yet, the boss made us stay.
the phone rang just five times the remainder of the day.
we could hear music bumping from somewhere down the road, the offices were so [...]

red robin (yum)

Category: Consumption, Not All Bad | Comments Off

remember when they used to play infernal commercials before the movie started about a year or so back? one of them was red robin. and it used to drive me nuts, because of catchy little earworm “red robin – yuuuuuum!” but what was worse than that was watching people blown up bigger than life consuming [...]

i verse, we verse, uverse – eventually

Category: I $hit U Not, Rants, Tunes & Scenes | Comments Off

so here’s the thing: here at our house we disdainfully avoided comcast; mostly because they were annoying, but partly because they were expensive and undependable. and in light of that second reason, we also did not have at&t; because while they’re not the only isp in the neighborhood, they sure like to act like they [...]
