why I hate shopping
I just got back from a run to Target. Buying things like toilet bowl cleaner and a shower liner were easy tasks, but when it came to finding the object that made me decide on Target over Meijer or some other store in the first place, it was a pain in the neck. [...]
everyone has a different name for these flowers
It seems like people have a different name for this flower depending on where they’re from:
It’s almost like what you call Coke/pop/soda/carbonated beverages. I grew up calling them Easter flowers while a friend in my hometown called them March lilies. That’s pretty much the same name with a slight difference. When I [...]
apartment + cable deals suck
In searching for apartments, I found one place that I was really pleased with. It was in my price range; had a dishwasher, washer, and dryer in every apartment; and was in a generally pleasant area of town. I just found out that they’re working out an agreement with a local cable company [...]
more corporate confusion
First there was Toys R Us and a PS3, now there’s AT&T and my refurbished phone purchase. I blogged just this morning about buying a refurbished Samsung Magnet to replace my dying Sony Ericsson Z750, but I had some hassle today when I checked the AT&T web site and saw that I could’ve gotten [...]

House of Leaves
I bought a new book last night: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. And by “new”, I mean new to me, not new as in it just came out. It apparently was published in 2000 but I just now heard about it (on Reddit, actually) and got intrigued so I bought [...]

lack of parenting
I just found, courtesy of Fark, this article: Boston mom calls 911 over son’s video game habit. I’m just flabbergasted. Really? You feel the need to call emergency services because you suck as a mom? I have a few suggestions for getting your son off the game console:
Tell him to [...]
why I’m not a dog lover
I was just reading Rose’s post about her mom’s dog being mean toward male guests and it reminded me that I had aimed to write a post about why it is that I don’t really like dogs. I stayed at Jon’s aunt’s house a few days ago and they had two indoor dogs. [...]
