On the road to self-improvement.

On the road to self-improvement.
Awoke early enough to work out before breakfast. Discovered, by reading my library copy of SHAPE, that I must increase both the cardio and the strength training I’ve been doing. I hardly broke a sweat today — which is not to say that I wasn’t working. But I wasn’t dripping buckets […]

Dammit.

OK. Deep, introspective piece I wrote Friday disappeared into the abyss when my computer crashed.
So you’ll get this mini-recap instead.
Friday: Went to Target, bought scale. Weight: 115, much more reasonable. Worked out again. Felt happy and much more self-positive, much less obsessive.
Happy hour at the pub, where we, plus TM and SC, debated […]

Not pregnant!

The internet: Taking the work out of everything.
Phew! So I took my online pregnancy test and I’m unpregnant. It was so easy and convenient! These statistics were revealed to me, regarding my eventual first-born child:
Sex: female
Birth weight: 18 lbs. 0 oz.
Length at birth: 5 inches
Chance of mangling birth-defect: 7%
Most likely defect: March of Dimes.
Looks like […]

Deadlines?

Deadlines? We don’t need no steenkin’ deadlines!
Yesterday I was uncomfortable in my shirt. Today i was uncomfortable in my ass-smashing pants. I think the problem is … I’m uncomfortable in my skin. I don’t know why I am so fat. I honestly can’t wear last year’s pants anymore. I am only carrying about 8 -10 […]

For promotional use only.

For promotional use only. Not for rent or resale.
One bonus about working for a newspaper again: free stuff. Crappy free stuff, but hell. Promo videos of Bad Boys, Sugar and Spice and … Strange Days, i think. Haven’t seen any of them, but they looked more promising [albeit only marginally] than a story about alien […]

“Holes.”

“Holes. The book is now the movie.”
Talk about a really bad tagline.
Anyway. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. It was at least 70 today, sunshiny goodness. I got my new glasses .. it’s Jill Stuart, not Jill Scott. Not that it matters. But i love these things: it’s like putting on a pair of binoculars everyday! I can […]

Hmmm … ninjas.

Hmmm … ninjas.

Stupid Awards.

Why, why isn’t Steve Martin funny anymore?
Oscars are on … ucky ucky. I don’t think I’ve watched these before .. and I have a strong feeling i wasn’t missing anything. What a crock. What a crock of wrong-winning, self-absorbed, unentertaining bullshit.
I was really looking forward to a little diversion from the gutwrenching war coverage today […]

Woo hoo!

Woo hoo! Mad Libs update!! My girl Carrie has graciously donated several for my site. Click above or visit my site to see ‘em. There are also some on there by me, Iain, Matt S. and my little sis, Brownie Mix.

A Poem.

“I got a bratty brother
bugs me every day
and this morning my own mother
gave my last cupcake away.
My dad acts like he belongs
he belongs in a zoo
i’m the saddest kid
in grade number two.”
So Iain’s learning blues/jazz harmonica today. It’s nice to have him wailing away on guitar and his “tin sandwich,” providing a little live music. […]

• who’s there?

  Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there. Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.
