What I’ve Been DVR-ing

[or "What I've Missed about Cable Whilst Going Without for Six Months"
[or "Someone Kick My Ass Off the Couch and Get Me to the Gym, ASAP"]
Jeopardy…even though, 85% of the time, I will answer a) “What is Constantine?” or b) “What is the Merchant of Venice?”, regardless of actual category.
Girls Next Door…who knew Bridget was [...]

This Time with Less Bitterness.

Now that I’ve cooled down a bit after the most recent Post of Hatred, let me explain myself.
I (along with Abbie) had been asked about a month ago to be one of the Hiring and Training Coordinators for the upcoming holiday hiring extravaganza.  I went up to the district office in Indy for a day-long training [...]

Abbie’s latest post totally beat me to the punch – Best Buy as a bad boyfriend. (and I quote: “If Best Buy and I were in a relationship, I would have moved out and written dirty things about him in the bathroom stall at Nick’s.”  Nicely put, friend.)  I was thinking about this the other day [...]

PUPPIES! :)

Tonight, I was doing some of my usual Facebook stalking (it still amazes me how many people from my past have managed to procreate already?).  I came upon a link to Dogster on my friend Rachel’s profile.  Sure enough, it was a myspace-esque profile of her german shepard, complete with doggy “blog.”  So cute, and [...]

Look, I’m in a nutshell! How did I get into this great big bloody nutshell?!

First off - His Holiness the Dalai Lama is coming to Bloomington.  (Okay, so he’s coming next October — but he’s COMING! I got the e-mail.) I am on the mailing list for the Tibetan Cultural Center, where I visited a few weeks ago and took GORGEOUS PHOTOGRAPHS of their lotus pond.  Unfortunately, you will [...]

…it can’t get no worse…

Oh, Paul.
…Bet he’s gonna have a hard time explaining that whole “I used to be cruel to my woman/
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved” lyric, eh?

STAR-motherf*cking-COM.

So, sometime in the 2004-2005 academic schoolyear, I attended this conference/pep rally for Starcom, a media company in Chicago. I came suit-clad, resume in hand, prepared to go to a networking battle with those little Business-major motherfuckers. In the end, I was not aggressive, at all.  I figured I would apply online and let fate take its [...]

McDreamy, indeed.

I will not lie.  This kind of gets me hot.
I’m waiting for Grey’s Anatomy to come on.  (We finally caved and got satellite service and DVR. After four months of NO cable for me and a constant fear of regaining Couch Potato status!) However, some members of my household don’t have such great taste in doctor-fucking television programming [...]

Basically Just Senseless Bitching

I would have called in sick today, had I not been the only available person to close. [By myself. On a truck night. With 342342 other things to do in the department.]  I’ve been getting struck with pangs of anxiety right before I leave for work, without warning or reason.  I just can’t seem to [...]

I STOLED EM

More pictures from Nicole’s wedding, all of which I stole from one BFF, .
Some moments are so great to capture:

If a picture summed up Nicole:

I liked this picture because Tom looked like a little angel:

My boyfriend, on the other hand…

Jody, Jess, and I, Pre-bouquet toss:

Sidenote on Bouquet Tossing: Let me preface this by saying that I think [...]

Yet another reason why I’m not racking up the Cool Points.

Have you seen Africam, the remote control webcam at a watering hole somewhere in Africa?  Here’s how I have become mildly obsessed:
1.) Huh.  That’s cool.
2.) This is kind of boring.
3.) Oh. Hey. There’s a bird. *opens window to full screen*
4.) Why am I still watching this?
5.) …
6.) ZEEEEEEEBRAS!

Eventually I’ll forget about it, and then Damon [...]

Just Married (not me.)

My trip up north culminated with the wedding of my friend Nicole, a good friend from high school, and a member of the notorious group “The Giners”

[P.S Most of these photos by Emily/Katey Zoladz/Dudderar or her hubby, Chris. I don't know. I was drunk. Some are by Damon, and JESSICA, WHERE ARE YOURS you LITTLE [...]

I saw two eagles marcus but I looked too fugly to take a picture…

ROCKFORD, MICHIGAN.
One of the things I HAD to do in Michigan was to get apple cider at Robinette’s.

[ps - don't you love that kid on the right who's all, "HMPH."]
Here’s me, looking at a deer that came up to the house.

We took advantage of a nice day and drove to the sand dunes in Silver [...]

Grand Haven. Or Alaska. whatever.

Luckily, by the time we drove into Grand Haven to meet my parents and the winnebago, it was sunny and beautiful (and my stomach wasn’t going “blerblahblerggghh” as a result from the ferry voyage from hell). We took naps on the beach, where I am in. my. element.

The RV was literally parked on the [...]

Hell is the Lake Michigan Ferry

The Idea: “Hey. We’re on vacation. Let’s spend the extra money and take the ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon.”
The Outcome: “I just spent a hundred dollars to try to NOT PUKE for two and a half hours.”
Because the noon ferry shuttle was full, we had to take the SIX AM ferry. That meant [...]
