my theory on t-shirts with adjectives:

If you’re wearing a t-shirt to describe yourself, it’s probably not true. Case in point: I just saw a woman walking around campus wearing a t-shirt that said “Celebrity.” But isn’t the very definition of celebrity being that you don’t have to tell people you are one — they just know?

are we done yet?

I’m slowly plodding through finals, and last night turned in my last final exam. All that’s left is my practicum presentation tomorrow afternoon, and we can close the proverbial book on my spring ’05 semester o’ hell. (Happily, Daniel takes his last final tonight, too!) I think all this panic and stress about school is …

Tuesday morning trivia

A day late, but only because I felt motivated to do absolutely nothing yesterday. So, here’s this week’s random trivia question… My friend Tommy is the official bestower of nicknames for those who’ve floated through my life as dates. He comes up with some pretty astute monikers considering he’s only met two or three of …

when pigs fly!

My father is the king of folksy colloquialisms. So when I saw this Pork Wings stand at Niosa a couple of weeks ago in San Antonio, I insisted Daniel take a picture with his cell phone camera so I could send it to my dad.

For many reasons, Friday was a horrific day. Details are unimportant — except to say that it was a universal suckiness, including not one but TWO NEEDLES at my quarterly doctor’s appointment, one for a tetanus booster and another for annual bloodwork. My left arm still feels funny. Amy couldn’t figure out why my blood …

WHAT?!

Please, someone, tell me: Am I living in a parallel universe? I ask because, in the last two weeks, I’ve learned that my fellow students at school believe if a woman accepts a drink from a man, she’s implicitly saying yes to sex later; that they also feel free speech “gets taken too far”; that …

It’s hardly a secret that, when it comes to President Bush, I come close to being an “ABB” person — that is, Anyone But Bush. I offer that as my initial disclaimer and to set the context for what I’m about to say. Yesterday, I finally had a chance to watch last Thursday’s prime-time presidential …

Yay for Carole, boo for Perry

I haven’t liked Rick Perry since I saw his “Why don’t you just let us get on down the road?” snafu with a Texas State Trooper caught on camera, which Tony Sanchez used with success (though not ultimate success) in the 2002 race for Texas Governor. Rick Perry’s mouthpiece, though, is slamming one of the …
