I’m not sure how much I shared here about the crappy week I just spent. It involved just about the entire gamut of Murphy’s Law and then some. Next time I schedule a week off work, well… never mind. Let’s just say that there are a few things worse than work stress.

Greek to Me - Confessions of an Altared Boy
By virtue of my tendencies toward obsessivity, it seems not out of the realm of possibility that I find myself, once again addicted to a certain behavior. (Not unlike my sister-of-another-mother, Piglet…
That behavior, of course, being the uncontrollable urge to scour YouTube for the [...]

The Replacements - When It Began
Earlier in the week we were talking about cartoons. I mentioned that a cartoon about the real Replacements would be pretty cool. I went through my video collection and thought this one would serve to give you an idea of just how cool.
The guy on the banjo, Paul [...]

Since I am not privileged enough to run with the Big Dogs over at the Peevery, I’m going to post my own miniature version of a Peeve here.
It has come to my attention that Disney has a new cartoon called The Replacements. If you know me well, you know that my very favorite band is [...]

I can’t call it writer’s block cuz I’m not a writer. But in all my years of blogging, this is the first time I can recall sitting here at the keyboard, wanting to post and coming up with NOTHING. Usually I sit down and go through three or four topics in my head [...]

I can’t even sit still when I’m basking in the sun on the beach. I think that makes me some kind of anti-relaxation freak.
Two years ago, vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, I put together this little pebble composition in the sand by my towel. I’m glad I took a picture of it. [...]

Is it ok to screw around with my header, say, like once a week or so? Or is it distracting? I just realized a couple weeks ago that I can actually do that without any major anxiety. And since I haven’t been able to master uploading pictures, this seems like an option [...]

rilo kiley - silver lining video
I LOVE this song and video. I want to be Jenny Lewis when I grow up. Or at least sing like she does. Ok, I’ll look like her too, but only if I have to.

This little girl is 7 years old. Her performance is followed by a 5-year-old boy.
I didn’t know what to think about this. On the one hand, her dancing ability is quite amazing. Would I want my daughter, at 7 or even 17 dancing like this in public? I think not. But it brought to [...]

I got the second parking ticket of my entire life last week. The pissy part of it was that I actually had put money in the meter. It ran out. I guess a dime doesn’t get what it used to. We so rarely park anywhere these days where there are actually parking meters. One day [...]

Paul Westerberg - Can’t Hardly Wait
My favorite televised musical performance of all time.
Update: try this link instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix-oIf9jqsw
Then someone can comment and tell me it doesn’t work. Ha. Why do I keep trying??? Actually though, I tried the arrow about 6 times and it did play twice… Maybe you’ll get lucky.
And even if [...]

PD and I went to the flea market at the park today instead of tomorrow. I thought it might be nice to just have an at-home day before going back to work.
I did pretty good as far as not buying too much stuff I don’t need. I think I took about $70 with me [...]
