Following on the heels of their runaway Internet hit “This Land is Your Land,” the good folks at JibJab are back with another hysterical look at Campaign 2004: “It’s Good to be In DC“. I saw it on Leno last night — which was a fluke, really, since I never, ever watch The Tonight Show. …
New digs.
I stayed late at work today to do, finally, what I’ve been meaning to do for months now — move into my new office. It has four walls. Made of wood — or something resembling wood, anyway. A door. A desk that faces the door. A place for my computer monitor that doesn’t face the …
Ack! I need a costume!
I honestly can’t remember the last time I dressed up for Halloween — especially if you exclude all the times I wore my PJs out in public just because I had a decent excuse to do so. So I’m starting to feel a wee bit pressured/panicked by the looming date of Daniel’s (annual?) Halloween party …
Boomer Sooner!
I know it doesn’t necessarily make sense to continue rooting for a college football team so closely associated with an ex-boyfriend, but I can’t help it; I’ve just spent way too many years cheering on Bob Stoops’s OU Sooners to break the habit completely. Even so, I resisted the urge to spend hundreds of dollars …
Presidential ties.
I got my Oct. 11 issue of Newsweek today, and only when I saw the picture on the cover of Bush and Kerry shaking hands and smiling (Kerry with genuine glee, Bush with that stupid little grin of his), I realized something. Last week, Kerry wore a red tie and Bush wore a blue one. …
I must know myself. Really well.
Curtis’s blog referred me to another site that sent me to this groovy “Where should I live?” Web site. You fill out eight pages of questionnaire, and it gives you a list of the top 24 places you’d enjoy living. Here’s my list. What’s yours? 1. Knoxville, Tennessee (I interviewed for a job with HGTV.com …
JNTIY explains dating & sex
Alright, so this veers way off the course of what I’m normally found talking about in polite mixed conversation. However, I simply *have* to share. It’s that simple. I mentioned about a month ago now a new book called “He’s Just Not That Into You: The no-excuses truth to understanding guys” that was reviewed in …
Bridget excitement!
I have been a fan of Renee Zellwegger since I first saw her on screen (in “Jerry Maguire“). Then along came her fabulous rendition of Bridget Jones, which I honestly far preferred to the book. The movie “Bridget Jones’s Diary” had the extra bonus of starring the delightful duo of Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. …
I need to write more.
Yesterday was a lazy sort of Sunday. After a delightful lunch at Pei Wei (my new favorite Dallas eatery, shockingly knocking off my longtime favorite, BJ’s Brewhouse), there was much wandering around Allen, McKinney, Frisco and Plano. I sampled some much-too-yummy-for-my-own-good sugar-free ice cream at Maggie Moo’s in Frisco (strawberry banana definitely suits me!). I …
Moving, part II
I mentioned last month that I’m feeling another move coming on … and from all the moving I’ve done in the last many years, you’d think I actually enjoyed it or something. Not true. I’m just really *good* at it. I’ve been wrestling with this question for most of the last month or so, but …
