what’s next?

May 17, 2010

The other day my mom wrote on my Facebook wall, asking “What’s next for the ambitious procrastinator?”
My answer was that I was living up to the tagline, but I don’t think that’s actually the case.
In truth, I’m not sure what’s next.
There is a big cloud of waiting swirling around everything I’m involved with right now. [...]

what’s the life expectancy of a blender, anyway?

May 5, 2010

In a calamitous event on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 4th, 2010, the pitcher from the avocado green Hamilton Beach blender circa 1970-something suffered a fatal injury.
I’m ashamed to admit that the blender pitcher/ sink faucet collision could have been avoided, and was purely a result of operator error.  (Please don’t ask me to recount [...]

April 26, 2010

Month two demonstrated how skilled I am in the art of justification, regardless of reason.

A week ago I left my position at a bar just outside of Rochester, NY, where I’d been since they opened this past July.  There will be no sharing of the reasons for leaving on here today; I may someday, but not just yet.  (One of my favorite bloggers, Heather Armstrong, expounds on why you [...]

cringe-worthy

March 13, 2010

Cringe
verb
1 she cringed as he bellowed in her ear: cower, shrink, recoil, shy away,flinch, blench, draw back; shake, tremble, quiver, quail, quake.
2 it makes me cringe when I think of it: wince, shudder, squirm, feel embarrassed, feel mortified.
The second entry is our focus today.  None of those other words seem to properly convey what cringe does so succinctly.  (Mortification is a good one as well, but it doesn’t have the same physical connotation as cringe.)

the workout, month one

February 27, 2010

Intro.
Day 1- Ok.  I can do this.  Even though the dvd player did this funny skipping and rewinding thing and I couldn’t finish the last 10 minutes, I think I’m going to be able to do this.
Day 2- No way am I getting out of bed @ 7am for this shit, so it’s an after [...]
