To the person who stole my credit card number,
You should be ashamed of yourself. That is bad manners. What would your mother say?
Bastard.

I spent last week procurring this:
It’s my actual first obtained-with-my-money-only-not-so-much-mine-as-loaned-money-but-whatever car. Isn’t she pretty? Not sure what her name is as of yet but I can tell you that the first song played in Bunny the Second was Joyride by Dave Matthews Band.
My love for Stephen Colbert can only grow

As I sat here in open-mouth shock at Barry Manilow singing on The Colbert Report, I wasn’t even prepared for what happened next: Stephen Colbert stepping out and singing with him.
The real point of my post is to say that tomorrow (or later today, rather), I will have something pretty and surprising for you [...]

Problem with iTunes solved by uninstalling and reinstalling. We’re all happy and wonderful now. Onto other things…
I’m that person. You know, the person who will be friendless and alone if she’s not careful. Most days, I feel generally pretty horrible about myself and on some days, I feel downright miserable about myself and so I [...]
iTunes is so not my BFF

Because my mp3 collection resembles my life in that it is in complete shambles and located in about 20 different locations on my computer (I blame that on the fact that I have four folders named “drive d” in which live my old drive ds), I took it upon myself to start reorganizing and cleaning [...]

Just in case you want to read it yourself, here’s a link to that story I mentioned in the previous post.

I was thinking this morning of posting about Justin Timberlake, who in the past 24 hours has become a fixture in my life. I mean, this guy is everywhere and we all know that I love me some Justin. He’s like my little brother’s annoying-but-strangely-adorable-and-charming best friend. Well, if I had a little brother, that [...]

This has been my day so far:
05:36: Wake up to NPR blaring next to my head. Unsure whether or not alarm has been going off for nearly 40 minutes or if I have been unconsciously hitting snooze.
05:38: Brush teeth. Jump around bathroom in effort to keep eyes open.
05:39: Contacts in.
05:45: Get in shower after about [...]

So far, today has sucked. I mean, it has been a red-letter Monday. Today on the way to work, as I sat cozied up on the bus next to a woman who smelled faintly of garlic, I thought up a witty post about my forays into public transportation. At that point, the day was little [...]
Sadly, Crazy-Haired Hot-Doctor Working In Darfur, Americans don’t know and/or care

On 60 Minutes, just a few minutes ago, a doctor working at a refugee camp on the Sudan/Chad border expressed disbelief and disgust at the thought that Americans don’t know and/or don’t care about what’s going on Darfur. While the journalist sat there listening to this man sputter in disbelief, I wanted to cry. Because [...]
