early morning randomness

Friday, March 30th, 2007

so…
I work in an office where there is a water cooler at almost every corner (overheard: “the pay might not be great, but we’re well hydrated”). Keeping that in mind: I see a guy fill up a Brita pitcher every morning, from the tap in the kitchen…
…right next to the water cooler…
Don’t think about it […]

walking contradiction

Monday, March 26th, 2007

so…in addition to being a loving wife, an amazing mother, and keeping our house from falling apart and making sure our bills are paid, Erika has taken on the role of my personal copyeditor: she has pointed out to me, many times, that I always manage to use the wrong word in my posts at […]

the one with no free publicity

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

so…let’s say that there was a huge public scare yesterday in Boston that turned out to be a big marketing ploy gone wrong and misunderstood.
I’m not naming names or linking to the stories because then the marketers win.
As appropriate as the response was, the second that the news found out about the “marketing” angle on […]

the one where I say hi to my friends

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

so…have I said how much I *love* MyBlogLog?
I love being able to see who is coming to my site. Putting a face to a name (or a referrer).
Hi!
…and to my inquisitive visitor in Maine, searching for “fillorburst.com,” I hope you found what you were looking for in the 27 minutes that you spent here.

Tuesday-Morning-Quarterbacks taking it over the hump

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

so…I’ve heard of armchair Quarterbacks (I’d like to be inducted into the Hall of Fame for this someday), but now you can be a Aeron chair Quarterback: David Seah invents Arm-Mounted Index Card Scabbard — The Gauntlet of Productivity
Taking it from the field:

the one where I say hi to all those James Blunt fans

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

so…in light of my post this morning where I pondered the cruelty of James Blunt:
And, would James Blunt’s music suck any less if his testicals ever dropped?
Why am I being subjected to this? I don’t think there is an hour of the day that would make this sound good.
My first thought, well, second thought after […]

the one where I click around the internet aimlessly

Saturday, December 2nd, 2006

so…the past few nights, I’ve found myself sitting at the computer, doing nothing. Well, nothing but clicking though the same four or five websites, over, and over, and over again.
It’s like an odd marriage of procrastination and OCD.
you see, I’m not doing what I should be doing: emailing people, calling people, writing blog posts, reading […]

the power of a blo-pop

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

so…I’ve slipped on my NaBloPoMo posts: I’ve missed 6 days.
I’m not really too concerned. I’ve posted 27 times in the last 26 days — I know that the point of this exercise was a post a day, but let’s look at the numbers for a second: before this month I had only posted 53 […]

I dropped my blo-pop in the dirt

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

so…I guess I didn’t post yesterday. 6 days into NaBloPoMo…that’s probably longer than I originally thought I was going to make it, especially considering that prior to this month I hadn’t posted in almost 60 days.

national blo-pop month?

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

so…I’ve decided to take part in NaBloPoMo, and by type that, and making my intentions know, this will probably be the last post I ever write…
In the day-and-age of feed-reader I doubt that many people make it to this site and actually see the front page, but for those who do: Are all of my […]
