Today is a good day. Today I lined up two interviews and H lined up one, and I heard of what may turn out to be a freelance writing job. Today we're happy. There will be days that aren't like today, days where we'll cry and feel let down, feel as though the bottom has gone out from under us. But not today. Today we're hopeful.
Did you watch Ashlee Simpson either last night on the awards when she "explained" or this morning when Katie Couric patted her on the head and said, "Poor baby"? (Okay, Katie Couric didn't really do that, but her interview was about as hard-hitting as Jon Stewart's interview of John Kerry, but only one of those two interviewers is a journalist.) I think Ashlee made some remark about how she feels bad for getting caught the first time she did it, but sh
Wow, you're a freak! Just kidding. Glad you've come over to the dark side, though you might be a bit far over for my taste. When I was in Fiji, I secreted along two six packs of mini Coke (the 6 oz size) because I was afraid that missing my morning coffee would make me like Dharma (sorry Dharma!). Turned out that the Fijians we were with drank it anyway, so I secreted the Coke b

All i can say is that if this is as evolved as our species gets, somebody push the button and fry us all. Just holding the opinion you've put forth shows that some of us (i.e. YOU) are more highly evolved. But I'm all for frying the ones who did this. That's pretty sick. -A.
Well, if you're ever in the PacNW, I'll be your tour guide. It's gorgeous here, especially now in the fall. -A.
I used to drive a minibus for the summer camp I worked for, so...I can drive if y'all will chip in for gas. What I don't get is why he just stood there. The water isn't deep--why didn't he just up and charge the dumbass with the gun? I don't think I'd stand there and take it. My brother used to shoot BBs at my feet when I was little and say, "Dance! Dance!" and I'd just run away.
Note: This is not a forum post--this is my blog, which means it is more personal than most of the things I would write on the forum. Ye be warned. I call him H when I refer to him on here. That's neither his name nor his initial, just as mine is A. We met working at a summer camp--I was a rafting guide, he was the ropes course instructor. I was datin
This is pretty much the funniest article & ensuing commentary I've read in awhile...heh. I loved the title--it caught my eye as I was exiting JU so I had to come back just to read it. Clever blog, a notch up from my "good blog" rating. -A.
I'll chip in for the cab fare to hell...that was FUNNY, even deserving-of-capital-letters-funny. -A.
These are mine, in no particular order: #10 Canterbury Road -- Oxford, England This is where I lived the semester I attended Oxford. There were 20 of us Americans squashed into three upper floors; our resident director Greg "Grendel" lived in the basement. We shared a kitchen, three bathrooms but one shower, a common room, a computer room, and a
Oh yeah, West Coast saw it too. L.O.L. -A.
I just flipped SNL on and Ashlee was already singing, so...dunno if I missed the beginning or if it got cleaned up for the West Coast (which would be lame). -A.
Jude Law is hosting, yes? Mmm. He's on my list. -A.
Kind of an added benefit as far as creepiness goes is that eventually my eyes would start getting really bloodshot, so after a while I'd have solid black eyes with bloody red corners instead of white corners. God, I hope I never meet you in a dark alley somewhere....
Ha, I had no picture of you in my mind and now I have THIS! There's no way I'd show up to your house on Halloween. But where did you get those contacts? -A.
Gotta link for you to read, Marvin: Link -A.
Too kind? No, I don't think so. Too anal. Too grammar-oriented. Too picky. Wish I could make grammar funny like you do.
Awesome, Raven--I love it! In fact I'm in the mood for tea now, so I'm going to go make some. I have two chinese tea sets, both actually from China (of the porcelain variety), but I have a hunch they're the factory-produced type of touristy items, just like England produces for their tea. (Dunno why, come to think of it, I have two Chinese sets and zero English sets when I've been to the former never and to the latter thrice. V. strange.) Anyw
Citahellion, these grammar articles of yours are my favorites on JU. Period. -A.
some humble pie for some moral fibre. I make a mean apple pie but I can't say that it contains much moral fibre. Welcome back. Good blog--I'm looking forward to more. -A.
Y'all are so good. I used to lie, when I first started blogging, but that was 'cause I was a teacher and was deathly afraid my students would discover me. Irrational, really. Actually, the purpose of this blog was to save myself 12 blogs' worth of stuff. -A.
CrispE, I guess we're talking about unlimited power, in some respects. And while that doesn't scare me, it makes me uncomfortable. Mad, even. If you go to the NYT site, you'll see that the paper itself endoreses John Kerry. The Portland Oregonian endorsed Kerry quite awhile ago, and they printed a list of the candidates and ballot measures they, the paper, approved. These aren't opinion editors who hold the positions--they're the paper. Probab
This is a good idea. The things that I know, however, aren't weird to me. The things that are weird are like when I was in England, trying to get into a dance club with another guy and the bouncer kept saying to him, "You can't come in, you've got trainers on" and we were like, "What?" "Trainers!" "Huh?" "You're WEARING them!" "What the hell are trainers?" Tennis shoes. Duh. * We call p
1) ...click on a blog with an interesting title, then wish you hadn't when you've read its contents? Wish people would stop commenting so the little blue flag would go down in the queue? 2) ...just want to write and not want comments, so you mark it as "private"? 3) ...wish some bloggers would get off their high horses or come out of attack dog mode?
Yeah, you'd think Teresa would get informed. No, I really didn't know what Laura did. I wasn't in the U.S. during the 2000 election, though, which is when I suspect I would've first heard about it. Come to think of it, I almost never hear about her, which is weird since I do follow politics some. -A.
