apropos of anything

My parents were never really big on painting rooms. (Except, I think, for the one time I got a pink room and the boys got a blue room, and I think my pink clashed with the carpet — it was a very Sheila the Great moment for me when I first stepped into that room.) [...]

Not that I had one today, but there is a growing collection on my cube wall:
A fortune cookie. Duh.
“A faithful friend is a strong defense.”
“The faith you seek is within your heart.”
“You will soon get something special because of your charm.” (It’s been a while since this one!)
“You will make a change for the better.”
“You [...]

That is all.

At approximately 8:30 a.m. today I put on a pair of pink Chinese Laundry shoes (similar to these, although I think my heels were shorter) that I found at DSW in five minutes yesterday. (In five minutes ’cause I only had five minutes as I was technically on my lunch break — my 3:00 lunch [...]

There’s work. There’s weddings — and the associated dress-altering, shoe-shopping, scarf-shopping, nails-and-eyebrows-doing. And there’s traffic.

Behold the newest incarnation of the Terminator!
It brings to mind a certain issue of the Technique where Greg and I ran a headline about someone falling “off the reality bandwagon” simply because we could attribute it to another person.

Have absolutely nothing of interest that’s blogworthy — or at least that I can put on a blog ethically (and while maintaining my employment) — so here I am, resorting to the most tired of all blog formats… the list. I realize it’s the structural equivalent of the question headline, but I’ve gotten over it, [...]

Michael Moore’s latest take on the world.
That would be what I’m doing this week. I’m in a lull with regularly patterned work and social events and trips to Augusta. There are things I should be doing — for example, cleaning out the office so I can paint it my next free weekend — but lullers [...]

For various reasons, I can’t put up the monster post I have been working on for the last hour or so. Instead, I just want to say this — Dan and AM, congratulations on a beautiful, perfect wedding. It was straight out of the movies. I love you both, and I am so happy for [...]
