Rolling Ambitions
So I went to my first roller derby match (game? brawl? whatever) on Saturday. The Steel City Derby Demons vs. the Philadelphia Roller Girls. And even though the Pittsburgh teams didn’t win, it was awesome. Don’t ask me the technical rules or anything like that. I know who the jammer is and what her role [...]
The National League Can’t Keep Me Away
I know, I know. What a fucking tease. Seriously, who drops a bomb like that and then doesn’t blog for three weeks? I even missed my super important three year blogiversary or blogaversary or however you spell that made up word celebrating the day you started your blog (hope yinz got me something leatha’). I [...]
Oh, Peanuts and Cracker Jack!
We received an e-mail at work on Tuesday about a drawing to throw out the first pitch at the Pirate game Friday. I entered for the hell of it, thinking I’d never win. I even joked around with my co-workers about what I would do if I did win. So. When I got to work [...]
The Magic Eraser
I’m watching the Olympics and men’s figure skating is on- not my thing, but I don’t make the schedule. The guy who just skated apparently made all kinds of mistakes, like a single axle instead of a triple, and he missed some other technical ice skating trick. I feel really bad for the guy because [...]
Hats Off, For Goodness Sake
Most of my friends are older than me, but some are the same age. They’re all much cooler with the quarter-life-crisis crap than I am, and I have more than seven months to go. This isn’t a surprise, I’ve always been a worrier. But enough about me (for once). This isn’t my birthday (it’s Gina’s [...]
Last Minute, As Usual
Gaaahh, Pens game tonight was excellent. More on that tomorrow. I really do hate these short, beating-the-clock blog posts. I hope you consider my bigger ones as make ups. I told my friend April tonight about my blog and that I had to write something before midnight. She gave me the weirdest look but said [...]
Urban Garden Party
I really hate that I didn’t blog at all last week. I didn’t mean to. It wasn’t something I planned. But now all of those blank days are just there, right in a row, mocking me. You might not be able to hear them, but I swear, they’re taunting little numbers. So as its said, [...]
The General Says So
When I was growing up, my family didn’t eat Chinese food very often, a few times a year at most. They said it was because my siblings didn’t like it. Now, of course, everytime I call home they’re General Tso-ing it up. I smell a conspiracy. Even though now, as a grown-up (gag), I could [...]
These Recent Events
Lots of stuff have been going on in non-blogging land, such as… the important warm weather activity of drinking Italian soda and reading in the sunshine, hanging out with old friends, who don’t even blink when I text them that I’m going to be late, attending a hockey game, with better seats than last time, [...]
Me? I'm From Sixburgh
Honestly, I don’t really like football. I think its because in high school, I was on the marching band of a losing high school team. Your patience wears out when your school has a 40 game losing streak. Granted, that record was eventually broken, but after that one win they went right back to losing, [...]
