It sucks. Sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks. Suckity sucks. That is all.

. . . for things not being the same always. You know. I’m sure there is one. Isn’t there? There must be a word for it … the thing that lets you know time is happening. Is there a word? Change. So, it’s the last weekend at Jackson Street. Our lives, about seventy five per-cent…

We spent $520 today to buy two airplane tickets (with new government-enforced $5 post-September 11th security fee!) to Massachusetts for Mother’s Day. Of course we waited until the last minute, so the total was about 150% higher than it should have been. Whenever I drop money on the opportunity to get into a metal coffin…

I took part in an online survey some time last year. It was one of the most interesting little quizzes I’ve ever taken, and now that the results are in, I’m really glad I participated. Check it out. You know that little grey bug that rolls up when you touch it? Or those long sandwiches…

Today was my first day at the new job. Starting at a new place of employment is always a stressful venture, but it’s even more of a strain when you’re not one hundred per-cent certain that you can even do what you were hired to do. First, I was given a crash course on the…
