You little punks. I’ve forgotten more music than you’ll ever hear.

August 7, 2008 Leave a Comment

You know what’s funny? To hear someone humming “Smoke On The Water” and realize that it is your 4 year old. I am a pretty musical person. Not in the capacity that I can play instruments or sing (there are many who can vouch for me on this!) but in that I like a wide […]

Litter-Bugs, Lifeguards & Severed Heads.

August 1, 2008 Leave a Comment

Litter-Bugs Let me preface this by telling you that a few weeks ago I yelled at a teenage girl who was driving like an idiot. I saw her in my rearview mirror, weaving in and out of traffic on Los Alamitos Blvd and coming up fast. She whipped around my car and ended up to […]

Perfect timing!

I had hoped I was just tired and that this was a hallucination. Sadly, no. No it wasn’t. Ever seen what happens when you try to quickly chill beers in the freezer and then forget about them? Now you have. The worst part? I’m the one who put them in and forgot them in there. […]

I’m completely rational, until I’m not.

It’s time for Markleeville! One of my favorite places on the planet, and the site of our annual camping trip. Lots of hullabaloo around here and things have been more hectic than usual. I’ll be a calm, relaxed person once I get there… it’s the getting there that can stress me out: Picture all of […]

Chip grease! The better furniture polish!

July 13, 2008 Leave a Comment

You are almost 16 years old. You are taller than your mother. You don’t understand why your mom gets all screechy for no reason. You have just eaten your weight in tortilla chips. The preferred method for cleaning greasy hands is: a) thoroughly washing them with soap and water. b) making an attempt to wipe […]

Jeez! QUIT your day job!!!

July 8, 2008 Leave a Comment

The very notion of an “anthem” promotes the idea that people can relate to it, that it resonates with them, that it identifies a particular movement or feeling or point of view. But not only that – (for me, anyway) the idea of an anthem suggests widespread understanding. Songs that practically the whole world can […]

It’s true LD, I swear!!!

July 7, 2008 Leave a Comment

My friend LaRonda sent me an email about my post on 6/25 regarding how much I hate my gym. “Really? Is it that gross?!?” (I’m paraphrasing) Answer: Yes, it really is. When sweat constantly drips on metal, the metal rusts. When equipment isn’t maintained, the equipment breaks. When custodians only clean mirrors, the rest of […]

Long Beach 24 Hour Fitness: adding anger to my work-outs since 2002

June 25, 2008 3 Comments

Yay me! I made it to my spin class this morning! I was only there for an hour, but an hour was enough to get a good workout and be reminded of every single thing that bugs the crap out of me! This location is the red-headed step child of the 24 Hour Fitness (ahem) […]
