Winning the battle, if not yet the war

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

I know this means more to me than it does to him, but I just found another piece of ammunition in the Rose City vs. Emerald City argument: Seattle is America’s Most Literate City. Please note that Portland isn’t even in the top ten. Powell’s, schmowells. Read all about it — oh, you already have: […]

ID and me

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

When I was in seventh grade, the junior high science teacher was new to our school. He was super cute; everyone thought he was a student because he looked so young. The first day of class, he got about half way through his introduction before he had to stop because Marci was laughing so hard. […]

PDX

Monday, November 28th, 2005

Remember that boy from Portland I mentioned? We’ve been debating the benefits of our fair cities in hopes of pursuading the other to relocate. The “You’ll have to move here” followed by “No, you move here” argument usually degrades into a tennis match of geographic beauties, city planning, sports teams, and cost of living. And […]

A bad idea

Monday, November 28th, 2005

In an effort to fight being cold and getting a cold, I decided to combine a packet of tangerine Emergen-C and hot water. Yeah, it’s gross. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Three + weeks of bad music, long lines, and too many cookies

Monday, November 28th, 2005

Christmas in my parents’ house is chaos, in the best possible way. With siblings, step-siblings, siblings-in-law, nieces, nephews, grandma, parents, a dog, a cat, and me all running around one house, it can be hectic. I can’t remember a time we all sat at one table for Christmas dinner. There are way too many of […]

Twitterpated

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

There is writers’ block, and then there’s this. I’m smitten with a boy. He’s the bee’s knees. He’s the best thing since sliced bread. He’s exactly what I’ve been too afraid to even hope for. The only thing wrong with him is that he lives in Portland. This obstacle isn’t insurmountable (for the time being), […]

Sleep deprivation

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

I haven’t been sleeping very well. I’m not sure why. I don’t feel anxious, I’m not stressed about work, I haven’t increased my caffeine intake, and I’m not working out any less. I’m not overly worried about it because I know that insomnia eventually makes me so tired, the problem takes care of itself. But […]

Stylish

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

I regularly get emails from friends that start like this: “Dear Grammar Nazi…” What follows is a question about, for instance, whether to use “climatic” or “climactic”, to which I will respond, “It depends. Are you talking about weather or the end of the world?” Or how to correctly use ex officio in a sentence. […]

Veni, Vidi, then I got shivved on the Senate floor

Tuesday, November 15th, 2005

Sunday night, I was on the phone with a cute boy and missed Rome. Fortunately, I DVRed it (yep, another gadget) and got to watch it last night. In case you haven’t yet seen it, I won’t go into too much detail. I will say this though: Pullo and Vorenus have one of the most […]

Putting the “south” in Southwest Washington

Monday, November 14th, 2005

This should come as no surprise to anyone, but according to this quiz LisaLa forwarded to me, I am 53% Dixie. Shocking, I know. I’m such a belle. Rebel or Yankee?
