Michael: [Long ramble about Giant Eagle and gift cards and the gasoline discount.] But you don’t really care.
Michelle: I care deeply. Just not about whatever the hell it is you’re going on about.
Yeah. I need more chocolate in my diet.
I have to admit that I secretly take great enjoyment from the subjects of some spam messages.
I mean, how can you not wonder what “Girlfriend Plagarism” is?
Been talking about “The Wild Wild West” recently. Last night at dinner with Gina and Erin, and today with Kim.
Gina was saying last night that she wanted to borrow by DVDs when we were done, because she and her husband were debating how old Robert Conrad was during “The Wild Wild West”. Gina thought he [...]
Saturday evening we left the hospital for awhile so my grandmother could eat in peace, and we could find dinner. Driving around, things went pretty much like this:
Michelle: Where are we going?
Brian: There’s a red light ahead.
Michelle: Look out for that car over there!
Brian: Isn’t the way back to Grandmom’s in the opposite direction?
Michelle: Where [...]
Just got back from Baltimore. My grandmother is still in this hospital, but will hopefully be discharged tomorrow. She has ulcerative colitis (the name is on a piece of paper in one of the bags I brought home, so I won’t guarantee I have it correct.) Short of it is that her colon is inflamed.
We [...]
Ah, West Virginia has the BEST criminals.
A West Virginia man claiming he was Osama Bin Laden led police on a high-speed chase before he ultimately crashed into other vehicles, police said.
The terrorist act of choice for Tena Bergeno, 26, of Charleston, W.Va., was threatening by drink blender
You just have to love the phrase, “allegedly brandished [...]
Here’s a five minute slice of my evening.
I’m sitting trying to relax, when the land line rings. It’s my brother, looking for updates on my grandmother. While I’m talking to him, my cell phone rings. I manage to wrest it out of my pocket and toss it to Michael. It’s my aunt calling from the [...]
I’m doing the Wellness Programs “Pedometer Challenge.”
We’re supposed to keep track of how many steps we take per day, and everyone who completes the challenge gets put in a drawing for a gift certificate.
The goal is to get between 5000 and 10,000 steps a day, which sounds like a lot, but really isn’t.
I can tell [...]
I really do hate talking on the phone. So that must be why I’ve been on one phone or another since we got home from work.
But we were talking about (and to) my grandmother, so it wasn’t bad. Especially since she’s feeling better today.
What I don’t understand, however, is how I call my parents to [...]
Came home with the intention of reading and relaxing.
We had a total failure on that front, as we came home to a message that my grandmother was being put in the hospital.
Now I have to admit that in the grand scheme of things, it could be worse. Most likely she has some sort of [...]
It’s the first day of classes!
Gridlock everywhere! Woo! Woo!
Which reminds me…
Last Thursday we went to Target because I foolishly thought we’d get one last shopping excursion before things got busy.
Silly me.
It pretty much looked like locusts had descended upon the store.
The highlight was going by two women speaking EXTREMELY LOUDLY. They were pretty [...]
Just a note, S has expanded into food pr0n on her weblog! Check it out!
Unlike last summer, there have been very few movies this summer that I’ve been interested in seeing. (With the notable exceptions of X-Men 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean, both of which I found… okay.)
So how come when there is finally a movie I want to see, it’s not showing in Morgantown?
We still haven’t decided [...]
I want this.
I’ve already tried to beat Michael with the clue stick. We’ll see if it takes.
The Little Country (1991) Charles de Lint
Yesterday I must have picked up half a dozen book, read the first couple of paragraphs, and then put them back down with the thought, “this isn’t what I’m in the mood for.”

I’m one of those people who loves to watch and read things I love, over and over.
I’ve read The Hobbit more times than I can count, and the same goes for The Complete Sherlock Holmes
But I’m even worse about movies and TV episodes. I can recite most of the dialog from The Princess Bride and [...]
Staying Dead (2005) Laura Anne Gilman
A Retrievers Novel
I found this book disappointing.
I’ve come to expect a lot from books published by Luna, so it’s almost a shock for me to read one of their books that I don’t absolutely love. And the thing is I really should have loved this book.

Seventy-Seven Clocks (2005) Christopher Fowler
A Bryant and May Mystery
I picked this up at The Bookshelf’s Clarence sale. The name intrigued me, and the back cover sounded interesting, although I wasn’t quite sure what London’s Peculiar Crimes unit was, other than something that sounded fascinating.

It’s always tempting to say something like, “the worst thing about getting sick is…”
Except that if I stop and really think about it, everything about getting sick is the worst.
So perhaps it would be better to say that the most disconcerting thing about being sick is how it brings on a minor bout of depression. [...]
Okay, is it just me, or is something not quite right here?
The US Department of Homeland Security has urged Windows users to install the latest patches from Microsoft as quickly as possible.
I can’t decide is this is a good thing or a bad thing, that Homeland Security is warning us about Windows.
