Happy Earth Day. I’m not much of an environmentalist but I’m slowly becoming a plastic bag usage nazi. I have canvas bags in my car and use them for my grocery shopping everywhere, and I refuse to take any plastic bags whenever I can carry my own loot out of the store…which was met with a LOT of “Are you sure?” Yes I AM sure I can carry my prescription and a bottle of Nyquil out on my own. Yes I AM sure a loaf of bread, a pack of sliced cheese, and 2 tomatoes won’t need a bag. Yes...

I’m bitter. You can ask me why. A disappointment of a major scale has occurred. It was like passing out before giving birth to a baby, missing out on the glorious moment you’ve been waiting for for months. It’s really, really hard to get over. So I’ve been cranky around the office, stressed out around the house, and overall one angry and bitter ray of outward sunshine to everyone. My attempt to release stress at my yoga class was also squelched. It seems I have twisted my left hand on Tuesday. I couldn’t put my weight on it and it...

Just got back from seeing Watchmen with Brandon and Lee. Lee, who is a big fan of the graphic novel, gave it a 4 out of 5. She said if we liked this, we definitely have to get the book, which we intend to do just that. Wow. What a revelation! It was stylized just enough. Violent in all the necessary places. I might need to talk to somebody about my mental state because Rorschach is definitely my hero now. Trailers were also massively awesome. Possibly the best line up of trailers: Wolverine, Star Trek, Terminator, and, for some of...

I had a dream a few nights ago that I was back in school at Mater Dei. Having heard Aurora talked about burning her hand on chemistry set back in high school at dinner time, in the dream, I ended up back in a chemistry lab. My lab partner is one of my school friends but she is for some reason in a wheel chair and for that I have to help her with her lab stuff. We were supposed to be measuring water into this beaker. She kept telling me I was doing it wrong, that was too much...

I’ve fired up my much neglected Facebook and updated my LinkedIn. Boy, did I gather up a whole bunch of new people! With Facebook, it’s friends and new activity buddies (like Thrill the World people). With LinkedIn, some long lost coworkers and recent connections. I personally haven’t used my LinkedIn to full potential, I’m sure. The Former DemiBoss is a true goddess when it comes to these things. She’s a real connector in person and that carries into her life in the social media. I used to really hate it when people say, “I’m glad we could connect,” or “Let...

Coworkers congregated in my cubicle over some chocolate covered almonds. “Have you seen Oakley’s article in the Daily Breeze?” Coworker #1 referred to my 15 seconds of fame. “No,” Coworker #2. CW#1 continued to tell CW#2 about Temple of Fresh & Easy blog. CW#2 snorted. “Who has time for that kind of thing?” And of course, CW#2 ranted on about how he doesn’t have time to do the Facebook or “such nonsense” because of his busy social schedule, implying along the way that folks who do those things don’t really have a life. That did it. Seriously, I am getting...
