wheeeeeeeeeee
Friday, June 30th, 2006This has been a week of anniversaries/birthdays. My first date with Mr. Whitney was June 28, 1994, we bought Miffy on June 29, 2002 (and got into an accident six hours later) and, of course, The Ottoman Empire was formed on June 29, 2001.
Mr. Whitney and I have started watching Firefly, courtesy of Netflix. [...]
my day in exciting adventure form
Tuesday, June 27th, 2006My car got ransacked last night. I accidentally left it unlocked and when I came out this morning my glove compartment was opened, a small trash bag I keep in there was dumped all over the passenger seat and my Maglite was missing from the trunk.
Everyone I’ve told has said “Oh, you must feel [...]
on the new look and stuff
Monday, June 26th, 2006Somehow I managed to manually update my blog from WordPress 1.2 to 1.5 without destroying the whole thing, then I used the automatic update to get it to 2.0.2. Whee!
I’m still working out all the little dinky technical issues (like the fact that I have to reupload all the pictures), but there are a [...]
teh weekendzar
Saturday, June 24th, 2006in about two hours, I am taking Otto and Sean to go see Cars.
Heaven help me.
The house I lived in when I was born until I was about two was having a household sale today; my Dad and I went. It might as well have been a house I’d never stepped foot in before; [...]
and my life trudges onward and upward
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006Otto got his first library card yesterday. He was very excited to use his credit card to pay for some books. They’ve apparently changed the cards at some point to include a key fob card, so I turned in my card that I’ve probably had for 20 years or so to get one [...]
it’s a happening!
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006We took Otto and my Dad to a baseball game on Sunday, for Father’s Day. It was hotter than Hades, our team lost and I got a little bit of a sunburn on my tattoo, but it was still a lot of fun. We got to play catch with Otto on the outfield [...]
a sirius conversation
Tuesday, June 20th, 2006Gnomeloaf: can First Wave play ANY MORE FREAKING MORRISSEY AND/OR THE SMITHS?????
Whitney: hee
Whitney: Mr. Whitney and I have already commented on this
Whitney: and depeche mode
Gnomeloaf: yes
Whitney: they’re doing some thing (maybe 4th of July weekend) where it’s 96 hours of Depeche Mode
Whitney: or, in other words, business as usual
Gnomeloaf: hahahaha
this is as political as I will *ever* get here.
Wednesday, June 14th, 2006I wonder if there are pro-choice breastfeeding zealots. I mean, aren’t the two stances, when put together, a bit oxymoronic?
so in other news
Tuesday, June 13th, 2006Otto’s birthday bacchanalia was a success (except for the part where his bowling ball accidentally rolled down a few of the basement steps. THUMP THUMP THUMP and all that).
His favorite present seems to be the Playstation 2 game for Cars, the Pixar movie (gift from my parents). He was a bit [...]
random thoughtlets
Monday, June 12th, 2006If you get a tattoo that is comprised of long, straight lines, it will HURT.
Something you don’t want to hear a tattoo artist say: “Hey, an American flag has 13 stripes, right?”
it’s that day again (one day late, anyway)
Saturday, June 10th, 2006once again, in a series
just random stuff
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006Otto had a playdate on Sunday with Sean, at his house. I actually left for part of it. Unfortunately, he put up a big stink when it was time to go, resulting in me carrying a screaming, crying, shoeless Otto to the car. It was embarrassing.
Mr. Whitney ordered a box of used, [...]
wheeeee
Friday, June 2nd, 2006Monday, June 12, I’m taking the day off from work, and my Mom and I are going to go get tattoos.
Now there’s a sentence I never thought I’d write.
For a very long time, Mom’s attitude towards them was “if you get one, I will cry.” Then it became “well….” (about two weeks after she [...]
