Well, it’s NAB time again, and that means Vegas, beh-beh! A short jaunt to Indianapolis and then a longer jaunt with my current client/boss out to Vegas, we met our third at the Vegas airport (another colleague), and proceeded to our hotel, the MGM Grand. Nothing much happening this night, so we grabbed some grub, […]
I work from home today… it seems now is the time strange women with their children gather outside the den window of my apartment to await a bus… that doesn’t seem to actually stop here.
Afternoon kindergarten, I would wager, but two school busses drive past them on the inner drive of the complex without stopping.
Still they linger, outside my window. Now more have joined the pack. Ravenous wolves, awaiting their golden yellow feast.
Another bus now, in the opposite direction. They alight. The crowd beneath my window disperses as the young pups clamber to their seats, and the driver pushes on into the gloom.
Is this, or is this not, the lamest promotional item evar? When I picked up the DVD at Costco for Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (for educational purposes, mind you), it said, “Free Sky Captain Playing Cards Inside!” When I opened the long box, I saw the card in the image on top […]
Oh, did I say "fun?" I meant "illness."
I haven’t been online or talked to anyone (aside from a few fact-finding missions from the office) since late Sunday night now, because I have been seriously ill with whatever the rest of the family had last week. So many, many hours in front of the TiVo have been called for, and as a bonus, I am now waking up in the middle of the night feeling like I’ve just won a pig-greasing contest.
I love my kids to pieces, but I sure as hell wish I could seal them in plastic bubbles at the first sign of sickness. I’d be fun! They could roll around the house like gerbils!
I got into an interesting discussion with several people yesterday about what unique dishes they always have at their Thanksgiving table. My family always had the usual fare of mashed potatoes, gravy, bread stuffing and the seemingly ubiquitous “yam bake” made with sweet potatoes and marshmallows. I remember there also being celery, sweet pickles, dinner […]
Jeez— how late am I gonna have to stay up to see if I can sleep well tonight?
Those of you who know me, know that I don’t follow sports. I’m interested, in at least a theoretical way, with playing sports, but not really with sitting down and watching them. Somehow, I find it hard to feel the empathy and irrational sense of empowerment that comes with a very special brand of obsessive-compulsive […]
