the one where Fox made me into a racist

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

so…watching 24 and then going to the local Pakistani-run service center for an auto inspection, all on 3 hours of purely interrupted sleep, might not have been the brightest of ideas.
…ok…so that is a complete exaggeration, but I could see what would happen if I only had gotten 2 hours of sleep…
…I would have fallen […]

the one with the sick

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

so…Sammy is sick.
Baby stomach viruses can kiss my ass!
The last 72 hours has been a roller coaster of baby puke and fussiness (some of which came from Sammy, but most of it was on my part) — I think we have gotten about 6 hours of sleep over the last two nights, and contrary […]

the one where I cannot stop sneezing on the train

Friday, January 26th, 2007

so…it’s 4 degrees outside, with a wind chill of 9-below. Good times.
——–
every night before I go to bed, I wash out my travel mug. I must not have rinsed it all that well last night: there is definately a reason why nobody orders a coffee with cream, sugar and soap.

if it is 4 degrees outside, […]

the one where I do something somewhere at some time

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

so…Thursday. Over the hump. I’m hoping that there is some naptime at the bottom of the hill because my daily schedule is really catching up with me this week.
——–
I heard a rumor that Winger is heading out on a nightclub tour.
Do you think they’ll update the lyrics to Seventeen to: “She’s only thirty-three.” ?
——–
I […]

the one where I pontificate on the fluid dynamics of toddler vomit

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

so…I’ve been thrown up on more times in the past 11 years than I’ve thrown up in the past 11 years. Hell, probably more than the last 22 years…if you pardon a 6-month stretch in 1994, and maybe again in 1997 — just kidding, Mom.
*trying to do the whole Eddie Izzard-head-shaking-head-nodding-no-yes thing over the internet […]

the one with the assault, battery and robbing with a lethal weapon

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

so…Pats vs. Colt: that sucked ass!
Reche Caldwell better learn how to catch the fucking ball in the off-season!
And, would somebody get Tom Brady a girlfriend before the next season starts!? It seems like his QB rating is directly linked to the amount of sex he’s getting…
…and speaking of changes, Indy deserved to lose because of […]

the one where I look back on the last four years and smile

Happy Anniversary Erika!
Thank you!

the one where it is super duper, super duper cold…that’s a whole lotta cold

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

so…brrrr.
enough about that
——–
there is a guy in the seat across the aisle from me on the train taking a nap.
nothing odd about a nap…
something is definately odd with the fact that he took off his shoes before his early morning slumber…
——–
I have nothing else to say…
…thank you for taking the time, though…

the one with a wind-chill of four-below

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

so…the New England arctic freeze is over a month late but it has arrived.
El NiƱo should swing by my house at 5:15 each morning to start up my Jeep…and so I can give him a healthy dose of kicking his ass!

In the ghetto, part one:
The lock mechanism on our screen door is selectively broken. […]

some people call it mucous but it’snot

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

so…I don’t know if we own anything that isn’t covered in baby mucous.
Sammy has been sick all weekend long.
Poor little man. What started out as a little drooly cough that we chalked up to teething blossomed into a full-fledged if-I-were-a-cat-I’d-cough-up-a-hairball cough.
Trying to entertain a ten-month old with a cold is kinda like orchestrating a peace […]
