argumentative

August 16, 2009 – 10:07 pm

This weekend’s been a mixed bag. On the plus side: I slept some, the cake was really good, my friend Christian is in town, and we got to visit Jes and Eric. The down? Work, work, more work, kid being impossible…the usual.
I got into this completely pointless sort-of argument with my friend this afternoon about [...]

back to basics

March 26, 2009 – 4:34 pm

Why’d I call myself Cranky Mama again? Oh, right.
Here’s a list of this week’s peeves:

Yes, I can probably build that website faster than you can. No, that does not mean I will do it for 1/16th of my stated estimate because you ‘think that’s what it should cost.’ I post my rates prominently on my [...]

6 random things

2. My parents were sure they were having a boy. So sure, in fact, that they hadn’t discussed girl names.
3. I was named after my father’s dead ex who was stabbed to death by her boyfriend while on the phone with [...]

I wonder if they’re dim or vivid. Are butterflies self-aware? I sort of hope not, since the tests that brought this discovery to light are somewhat [...]

I have the power, except when I don’t

February 12, 2008 – 10:34 am

Hi, I’m Adam, Prince of Eternia, defender of the secrets of…er, no.
Where was I? Oh yeah. I blow-dried my hair the other day. Big deal, you say – but what you don’t realize is that I haven’t actually blow-dried my hair the entire time we’ve lived in this apartment. So, like, eight months? And it’s [...]

go ahead and quote me about that quote

January 9, 2008 – 10:59 pm

I was reading Work Happy today, as I do, and there was a quote from Tiger Woods about his philosophy on life:

If I’m not good at something [...]

a little bit of this, a little bit of that

January 4, 2008 – 4:01 pm

I just – just! – had lunch, so my brain is all ping-tastic and fluttering hither and thither. Thither. I don’t think I’ve ever used that word without hither attached to it – have you? I am scampering to Merriam Webster right now to see the fun I have been missing.
Well, so. Here I am [...]
