oh, the comedy!

I'm leaving for Paris soon. Tomorrow, to be exact. What do you think of them apples? I'm psyched. (Does anyone say that anymore? Why am I getting all 80s all of a sudden?)Here are some other phrases from my 80s childhood/adolescence that I heartily wish would be revived:“the whip” (something really cool. Similar to things […]

in which I talk like a beatnik for some reason

I'm at work. As usual. This author hand-wrote his response to my edits and in his terrible handwriting, every time he wrote “antibody” (many, many times), it looks to me like “ant daddy.”Dig that, you crazy ant daddy!Rather sedate weekend. Friday I went out for drinks after work, as did LT (separate drinks, with separate […]

Last checkup she told me I had an ovarian cyst. What the hell? I do not want one, and I have no symptoms whatsoever, and I thought […]

I'm a marketing whiz while I'm fast asleep

One of my rules for online diaries is: no dreams, please. I know when I'm reading a diary, if someone starts describing their dream I just skip right over that part. Let's face it, no one wants to hear your long involved dream except your significant other or your very bestest friend, and even then […]

not so sturdy after all

So halloween is over and we're into a brand-new month. Get excited, people.I think this is the first year in a long time that I didn't officially wear a costume or do anything in particular for halloween. Among my group of friends, holidays are kind of divided up…LT and I always host New Year's, someone […]
