2003: Year in Review.

Oooh, New Year’s Eve. Time to take stock.
Looking back: 2003 was a very good year. Some highlights:

Got hired by my employer, an area publishing company. Marks my first “real job” in Maryland.
Traveled to Chicago, California, and other places. Cali was a first, and Chicago was just crazy.
Made some new friends, all on my own.
Got […]

Back in the saddle again.

Back to B-more, back to work, back to the apartment, back to the daily grind. Christmas break was a good time, and it was good to see the fam and few old friends. It’s also good to be back home and in the swing of things again.
Brunettes have all the fun: Speaking of back, I’m […]

Oh, Eowyn, you kick ass.

Finally saw Return of The King. And I only cried once.
For about two and a half hours.
But lord, it was good. Very well done. Very emotional. Captivating. Good.
You get the point.
Va-cay has been going well. Got my ass handed to me by a 15-year-old in Trivial Pursuit; been bit [lightly] by the new puppy. Been […]

Merry Christmas!

And Happy Hanukkah, too! Hope everyone is having as much fun as I am. Actual snow, a new puppy, presents and a ham dinner … does it get any better than this?

When good newspapers go bad.

So I had this dream last night.
I dreamt I was at work.
There was this guy, who was a cross between Albert Brooks in Broadcast News and Moe from The Simpsons, who was our weatherman. For some reason, the weather station was in a bar. Every time he got halfway through his report, he gave up […]

Down to the wire.

Just humming “The Hannukah Song” as I wrap my Christmas presents. Thinking about the Great Drive Westward that we’ll be embarking on soon. Family-time, yo.
Dreading the giant pile of things to do that I have to … um, do.
I’m sure I’ll get it done in the next day and a half.
Yeah.
No problem, right? […]

More seratonin, please!

Things I Like:

I like my hair today.
I really, really like my job.
I like where I work, because I can walk to the shop and buy BUST.
I really, really, really like BUST, because it makes me all inspired and happy.

for example, there’s a great article on spiffing up your cube
there’s a great article on chick DJ’s
there’s […]

Look out, Frodo! Part III

Last post of the night [morning], I swear.
A list of fun things to do while viewing ROTK.
OK.
That’s all.
I mean it this time.
(Look out, Frodo! Part II)

Everything I need to know I learned from Sweet Valley High.

I think I’m turning into Elizabeth Wakefield.
Oh, sure, I’ve had my Jessica Wakefield days — haven’t we all? — but the time has come to settle down with my own Todd Wilkins, fight the good fight on the journalism front, and work on maintaining my golden tan and perfect size-six figure.
Er. Something like that.
OK, OK, […]

What Tolkien Officially Said about Elf Sex

Thought I’d share this [via metafilter], considering the hullabaloo going about concerning ROTK’s premiere.
Also thought I’d share that I’m probably the only LOTR fan left in existence who hasn’t seen the third film yet. *MB makes sad face.*
Sigh … Am waiting for said hullabaloo to die down; plan on seeing it with hubby at a […]
