I can’t figure out the most appropriate way to SHARE things online, to continue my tech rant. I fear I’m overwhelming people on Facebook, so I hesitate to post articles these days. But I just read this article about makeup companies that are recognizing that people are ready to start wearing more bright and bold… [Read more…]

I’m kinda bummed they’re cancelling Ugly Betty. I don’t really know how these things work, but if there’s a chance that other networks pick up dropped shows, I hope someone picks up Ugly Betty. It combines all of my favorite things: drama, unlikely plot twists, bright colors, a solid cast of people I respect for… [Read more…]

I just wanted to report that I’m still not bored. In fact, I’m busy! You should see my mini calendar on my Droid. It’s just FULL of little appointments. Take today, for example. Today, I had to wake up at a reasonable hour (8:30), think about my life, survey my VERY messy room to decide… [Read more…]

I wish I could figure out how to get paid for doing favors for people. And no, that’s not meant to sound sleezy. I just find myself building a LOT of good karma which I’m saving up to land my yet-to-be-determined future job. After rushing to the rescue of a heartbroken friend, and watching said… [Read more…]

Could someone please explain why no one comments or likes my Facebook status updates?! It’s driving me crazy! No one likes me anymore! Do you think they’ve hidden me? Are people FORGETTING about me!? Because I feel like I’m being QUITE clever and people should appreciate that a little more. LIKE ME!

So I’ve gotten completely obsessed about looking up facts about the logistics of the State of the Union address, and then I stumbled across this random fact: In North Carolina, the law requires that you and your partner must be separated for a year before you can get divorced. Not that I’ve ever really thought… [Read more…]

People in Seattle look so grumpy sometimes. I often want to warn them that their faces might get stuck if they keep it in those permanant grimaces. I feel bad for people who have faces that are just like that- I suspect there is nothing they can do about it. I mention this because I… [Read more…]

Today’s brilliant idea: start a new blog entitled, “I’m not jealous of your relationship” and then dissect the reasons why I’d rather be single than be in the relationships my friends are in. I think it would be a great companion blog to “I’m sorry (just kidding)”, in which I would explore all the insincere… [Read more…]

I am determined to make the most out of my New Roots Organics produce bin this week, even if it kills me! Here’s the list of what’s in the bin. I’ll post a picture later: Fuji apples / Pears / Minnola tangelos / Rio Star grapefruit / Cauliflower / Red Bibb lettuce / Rainbow carrots… [Read more…]

It was only Saturday night (pre-bonfire) that Eliz and I were discussing how it would be totally awesome if we could watch There Will Be Blood , since Daniel Day Lewis is so amazing and it’s so crazy that he’s a method actor and weird that he went from There Will Be Blood to Nine… [Read more…]

Several revelations I’ve had in the last week (now that my head is almost clear and I’m not entirely plugged up with snot): 1. Almost everyone I know took at least six months to a year to take a break, look around, and try something new. I’m talking about the period of time in which… [Read more…]

Today has read like one of those “fortunately/unfortunately” books that we used to write when we were in elementary school. These books were a source of tension between my best friend and I (mostly because she was convinced she invented them, and I copied her. Who knows). Allow me to demonstrate: Fortunately, my sore throat… [Read more…]

That’s another way to say, I’ve mastered the art of being lazy. Should I ever be stricken with some kind of terrible illness, or a bad back, or ordered to bed rest for the duration of a pregnancy, I know that I will have plenty to keep myself busy. Yesterday was a semi-snowy Sunday and… [Read more…]

There are two great mysteries in my life that remain unsolved. Mystery #1: What happened to Penguin? Penguin was my version of your baby blanket. A hand-me-down stuffed animal, no bigger than your hand, she provided me with years of love and comfort until one day, she just disappeared. My older brother and sister used… [Read more…]

Having never left a job before, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I was forced to throw myself a going-away party, which was alright (minus my jacket catching on fire while I was in the bathroom and the guests unanimously agreeing not to tell me). Everyone said nice things about me (sort of) and… [Read more…]

Conversations like this: Meliss: Beeteedubs, guys, Leslie’s Employee of the Month at WFA so if you see her congratulate her! Me: Can IIIIIIIII be the first and last employee of the month of SJF? It’s my last chance. Meliss: You’re not even going to be here the whole month, Sarah! Zeke: Didn’t anyone watch the… [Read more…]

This is what happened when I got bored over the Thanksgiving holiday: I painted a wall “Putting Green” with too much sheen. This was not entirely my fault. Elizabeth and her mother turned me on to green walls when I was considering redecorating a few months ago. But now that Katie’s gone and my new… [Read more…]

Frustration! I just wrote this and then it disappeared. Let me try again. Ever since I made the decision to leave Social Justice Fund, I’ve been coping with a fair amount of anxiety. You know, this isn’t really the best time to be looking for a job, and although a couple of offers here and… [Read more…]

I just re-discovered my love for the Vh1 Soul Video channel. It’s the best thing about cable. I watched it for almost three hours yesterday. It’s like watching little mini-movies with lots and lots of attractive people. You get to watch great parties, great dancing, and corny love stories – all within minutes! Anyway, I… [Read more…]

Yes, I went to see New Moon on opening night. Actually, not only did I do that- I also went to see Twilight right before it. Yes, I spent six hours sitting at the Cinerama. And you know what else? I didn’t do it alone- I had the best partners in crime – K and… [Read more…]
