Alright, so I've been away a long, long, long time. I know that the couple of people who were reading this blog have probably long since given up and gone away. I can't really blame them. However, I just started looking back over this, read some old post and came to a conclusion. I was kind of funny and shouldn't have stopped writing. So, into the fray once more and all that. Perhaps people

S. Korean man dies after 50 hours of computer games - Yahoo! NewsI couldn't believe when I read this headline. I mean I knew video games could hurt you. I was myself the victim of a physical injury at the hand, er feet really, of a video game. But, death? I had no idea.My own run in with the dark side of the video world happened at christmas.

I'm not jewish but I've always found yiddish to be a very expressive language and oye gevalt pretty much sums up how I feel at the moment. I'm too exhausted to go into the all the details. But, the last four days have been pretty exhausting. 1) I was so wiped out in the middle of the week I took a three day weekend off and even skipped SNB. 2) Friday I had a very nice sushi lunch and

Farewell, Scotty - Yahoo! News It's a sad day as James Doohan, better known as Scotty, died. I've been a star trek fan for what seems like all my life. Scotty was a particular favorite of mine with his: i'm giving her all she's got, captain. Done in scottish brogue. And of course one of my favorite movie lines of all time is from Star Trek IV (the one with the whales) when Scotty faced with

Sorry I've been away for so long ... again. I blame that place of which I cannot and therefore do not speak unless it is in the most general manner in which any such place it could be. (I think I just channeled yoda there. but without all the wisdom and kickass jedi powers) However -- and notice how the word however always proceeds something that gets you into trouble -- however, this is too

"The world's first Pina Colada was supposedly invented in the Hotel Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico in the 1950s." I love this fact because it combines two of my favorite things: stupid trivia and booze. I don't want to give the impression that I'm a lush. I'm not. I just come from a long line of them and so yes I enjoy the occasional alcoholic beverage. and yes one glass a wine a night is

You'll have to excuse me. I just drank 6 fluid oz of sake. Sake can really hit you hard. But on with the show. Hey have you missed me? Have y'all been wondering where did v.carrie go and all the laughs? Did you start having visions that I was stuck under the refrigerator with no phone in reach? Don't worry I'm alive. I'm well (physcially at least. mentally...well) So, Thursday I went to

Yeah, that sums it up. Last night, Sunday, I was sitting knitting and all of a sudden it hit me: I have to work tomorrow. The weekend goes by way too quickly. I had a lovely weekend. Saturday so much fun at Laurie's birthday party. Don't believe her when she says she was a bad hostess. She throws a great bbq. I loved meeting more of her friends. But, then Monday comes.

Who doesn't love a discount? You go into a store and you see 10% off and you're so much more willing to buy it because it's a bargain. Well folks, I'm 10% off so I'm starting to feel like a real bargain. Not in a cheap way of course. More like deal of the century way. A couple years ago I put on some extra weight and all the body image issues came out in a big way. I've always had weight

You know how sometimes you keep things to yourself because you think you're the only one who thinks and/or feels that way. Self: Yes, I do. Me: I'm so glad.

Did you know Saudi Arabia has an Ikea? It's true. I saw it on their website. Ikea is taking over everything. Through their mass produced furniture that is further homogenizing the world the Swedes are exporting their culture and next thing you know we'll all be taller.

Okay, I have a confession. I've had a problem most of my life, a syndrome if you will. I call it lost puppy syndrome. It actually runs in my family. We see a creature with this "help me, I'm lost" look in their eyes, and we just want to take them in, feed them, and let them know it's all going to be okay. You're home now. Traditionally this has been a problem for me when it comes to

You know how some weeks are one of those weeks. Yeah, I'm having one of those. I won't go into details because, you know that would be a downer. And I'm all about the uppers. So, here's some things I've discovered this week. A) The best conversations you can have, sometimes, are the ones you have with yourself.

Last night I got home late. Well, later than usual. Instead of leaving work and heading directly to home and 24 season finale. I joined my friend Gwen at the West Hollywood Farmer's Market for a little dinner, a little coffee, and a little talking. By the way, totally love the Farmer's Market.
