[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuMkW35BwK8] If you’re heart doesn’t melt watching Clara cook, then I think you probably don’t have a heart. [Jezebel] Anyone who follows me on Twitter knows that I’m currently in the process of teaching myself how to cook. Yes, I can made pasta, and I’ve followed that up with chilli and soup, but I’m definitely [...]

Screw the groundhog, I got a nosebleed yesterday, which is the real first sign of spring. I get one when the seasons change, something to do with changes in the air. So get out your flip flops kids! The second sign of spring hasn’t happened yet, but I’m not looking forward to it: Ever since [...]

“If he doesn’t treat you like you’re worth your weight in gold, leave him.  I tell my wife everyday how lucky I am to have her.” – An old bartender to one of my friends.

The verdict on the Ben Folds show Monday:  The show was very good. I would say the opposite about the venue it was held in. I’ll acknowledge the fact that I got there after the opening act, two hours after the door officially opened, so finding somewhere decent to see the band was going to [...]

I’m going to see Ben Folds tonight, but all I want to listen to is Sufjan Stevens sing about feeling the Illinoise. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super excited to see Mr. Folds.  I just have no explanation for this. I also totally forgot today was a holiday for some people, and I say ‘holiday’ [...]

Let’s just call this catch up day.  Ketchup Friday.  Or FRYday, if you wish. Ohhhhhh… yes, folks, I can get cornier. [Blogger's Note: Before you tell me, I'm aware its no longer Ketchup Friday.  I passed out from exhaustion while I was writing this (which I know doesn't sound too promising when you're about to [...]

Okay, confession time. There’s a laundromat not far from my house, and the other day when I drove past it, I sorta wished had a reason to use it. Maybe its because I really like the movie/book Shopgirl, or because I’m a deep down romantic who likes the idea of meeting extraordinary people in ordinary [...]

Last Thursday afternoon, when it was still snowy and horrible, I was scrapping snow and ice off my car, swearing not-so-much under my breath, when a sharp scream echoed down the street. My car was on the opposite side of the street from the sound, and with the scrapper in hand, I cautiously crept over.  [...]

So while my car is getting fixed, I’m back to driving the family mini-van, which I haven’t driven since July. I didn’t think the adjustment would be that big of a deal, but oh yes, it is.  Its like going from a clown car to a tractor trailer.  Well, maybe a clown car SUV.  Its [...]

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, [...]
