My current co-worker told me this today (you might have had to be there, but I'll try anyway). Basically, she had some news she needed to break to her mother. She was concerned about her mother's reaction, so she asked a friend how she should cushion the news. Her friend told her to make it into a story. This is how it went: "Hey Mom. I need to tell ...

Loving it that John-Boy of The Waltons* is the voice over for Mercedes-Benz. Now every time I see a Benz I'm going to imagine it with a big mole on one side. *You won't believe it, but I'm completely familiar with The Lawrence Welk Show, too! How is this possible when I was born in 1980??

1. The A/C 2. A weed eater, a couple houses down 3. A lovely song in Spanish with accordion, coming from the condos being constructed behind my house. But it sounds like I have my own radio on this station. I don't. 4. Other fun construction noise, including hammering, machines, and things being dropped. 5. Someone sneezing (third time).

Something in me gets really pissed off when a person who claims to be "a writer" misspells pretty basic words. And not just once, but multiple times, throughout an entire blog post, because the post is exactly about THAT WORD. Recent examples of note include cemetary and stationary (in reference to paper goods). Perhaps the latter bothers me more than it would most people since I work in ...

I work at a place that has long hallways. It takes a few minutes to walk from one end to the other. The entrance is at one end and our department is at the farthest most other. The walk by itself is fine I suppose. Annoying but I can see the necessity. But what happens when other people ruin it? One example ...

I was under the impression that the end-all of hilarious amateur rap songs would always be Terrell Owens' I'm Baaaaaaack! But I might have found one that steps it up a notch. My Space Me (from the album, My Space Me) is a track about "the my space movement" by none other than California's own Maticulous. Like most rappers, Maticulous has his own unique hip hop attire: air ...
