September’s been a big month for me. In the span of a week and a half, I started a new job, bought a car, and signed the lease on an adorable little house.  Move in day is November 1. When I want change, I guess I just dive right in. The worrywart in me is [...]

The world is falling apart.  Well, at least the American financial part, which used to control controls much of the world.  So basically, yeah, the world. Part of me doesn’t want to just hand over $700 billion dollars.  The other part of me does just to get this whole thing over with.  I’m torn. I [...]

Living close to the West Virginia line, we can pick up their radio stations pretty clearly.  This is how I found out there are no nerds in West Virginia (at least Morgantown). So this one station was playing 80s songs at noontime, and capped it all off with a clip from an 80s movie.  Guess [...]

If you don’t like cupcakes, you’ll find this to be pretty pointless. If you love cupcakes, you’ll find this to be the most amazing, stupendous, fantastic thing ever written EVER. And really, if you don’t like cupcakes…. are you sure you have a pulse?  You might be a vampire.  Or a zombie, but even then, [...]

Various news items that have caught my eye: Remember how I said just the other day I wished I heard Nevermind when it first came out?  That was 17 years ago today.  I was six.  My Little Ponys were super important to me then.

I’ll admit it: I’m an erratic blogger.  I’ll blog consistently for days, sometimes a few times a day, and then without warning, I turn hermit, not even commenting on other people.  Dangerous to the hearts of the readers who consistently click, click, click to read about the non-thrilling dorkfest I call my life, only to [...]

The first two days went really well.  The department I’m working in has only a few people, but they’re all nice and laid back.  Its just been a lot of information to absorb.  To answer the popular lunch question, everybody eats at their desk, which solves that problem.  At my last job, we weren’t allowed, [...]

The first day of my new job starts in two hours.  I’m more excited than nervous, but wait until I’m walking into the building and we’ll see who has new job jitters. I kinda wish I could do two things at once, and by this I mean eat lunch and shower.  Soggy sandwiches are pretty [...]
