Shameless Plug: Buy My Stuff!

November 30th, 2006 · No Comments

Instead of learning UCC Article 9, I’ve been busy setting up shop over at Etsy this evening:

Check out my little Etsy shop. If you want to order Christmas presents, payment has to be received AND clear by December 15th in order to ship by the USPS holiday shipping deadlines.
C’mon, you know you want to.

Giving Thanks

November 23rd, 2006 · No Comments

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!
In the spirit of the holiday, here is a non-exhaustive list of things I am thankful for:

My family, even though some of them drive me batshit crazy
The Beef
The Boston Terrorists
My friends, even though most of them think I have died
Not having to join the real world yet
Afternoon naps (with the Terrorists, of course)
$1 [...]

I Mean Really… What Gives?

November 23rd, 2006 · No Comments

The freak magnetism continues. I made a quick trip to the grocery store to get a couple of last minute things for Thanksgiving. On my way down an aisle, a guy, probably in his late 30’s or 40’s, starts talking to me.
Freaky Guy: Hey, I think I recognize you from somewhere. [...]

What Did I Do Wrong?

November 17th, 2006 · 3 Comments

I’ve ranted about Texas before. And here I go again. Apologies in advance to C or any other native Texans who may be reading this. I kid because I love.
If my mock trial team is (un)lucky enough to place well enough at the regional competition, we will be traveling to Texas to for [...]

I Halfway Retract My Previous Statements

November 12th, 2006 · No Comments

So yesterday, my heretofore shitty, unranked football team upset the number 5 team in the nation in a rivalry game everyone expected us to lose. Our highly-touted but slightly disappointing freshman QB came out of the woodwork and threw no interceptions (compared to 8 in the previous 3 games) and completed 14 of 20 [...]

Dazed and Confused

November 10th, 2006 · 1 Comment

After much procrastination, I finally decided to go to the police station to get fingerprinted for my bar application.
I arrived around 1:30, only to be told that a) the officer who takes fingerprints is out to lunch, and b) they don’t take credit or debit cards. So off I went to get cash and kill [...]

Flying Freak Show

November 10th, 2006 · No Comments

When I fly alone, I am a freak magnet. Undoubtedly, the weirdest, smelliest and/or most annoying person on any given aircraft will be assigned to sit next to me.
And I can see them coming. As the plane fills, I watch people file past me looking for their seats. All normal, tired, impatient travelers. [...]

Everything I Need to Know I Learned from John Grisham

November 9th, 2006 · No Comments

Hold the phones. I’m sitting in Media Law and the ditzy, hapless victim of the professor’s Socratic questioning cited as a basis of her reasoning John Grisham’s A Time to Kill. Except she didn’t even really know the name of the book; she just referred to it as “some John Grisham book” (and I only [...]

(Boston) Terrorists One Step Closer to World Domination

November 8th, 2006 · No Comments

On Saturday, the Terrorists and I, Steph from the Terrorist message board and Daisy, Mer and my furry niece and nephew, along with my dad and Triple D, participated in Walk 4 PAWS, a fundraiser for a local organization that provides low-cost spays and neuters for animals in the local area.
Too bad they don’t spay [...]
