Guess Which Jackson* I Saw Today?

February 23, 2008 9:44 PM | filed in: ,

Jermaine.He parked his Rolls-Royce next to my Ford Focus hatchback and went into Subway. At 9:30am. (I was in the same lot to go to the bank.)Dan pointed out that upon acquiring a certain car, you're no longer allowed to patronize certain establishments. His exact words were: "Ooh, classy gentleman. For lunch, he will drive his Bugatti Veyron to Church's Chicken... for dinner, his Bentley BACK to Subway. Why doesn't he just go off-road mudding while he's at it?"*Jackson as in "of the Jackson 5."

Greek to Me

February 18, 2008 9:41 PM | filed in: ,

I'd had my fancy-pants 3G PDA/phone for months and still stumbled through texting. I figured it was because the keyboard layout is like a regular keyboard rather than a phone... but the anticipatory finish-your-word engine was really bad. (For instance, instead of the word "car," I'd get something like "cÃø." It was so irritating.This weekend, while I was trying to set-up my work email, I ran across the culprit: My default language was set to Afrikaans.

The end.*Update: A couple of people have asked what's up with this. I'm not mad. I met someone who I later found out is a pathological liar. People, you might want to make your blogs private...

Tonight Was Caaarrrraaazy

So, tonight was the first Thursday of the month, another Downtown Art Walk... so instead of the usual Thursday-night activity (um, non-activity), we were at The Hive manning Dan's studio. As previously mentioned, I don't care for Valentine's Day, so that wasn't a big deal, but I am on the brink of sickness, very tired, and very behind on work.Things started slowly, but it really got busy, and since the curator was busy running around to help clients, I lent a hand in the store. I reached way back in my subconscious and pulled out my retail experience -- and...

All You Need is Love...

February 9, 2008 9:35 PM | filed in: ,

Valentine's Day is coming. Are you ready? Did you buy flowers, jewelry, chocolate? If your answer is no, what kind of person are you?I really don't like the holiday, which each year becomes more of a "you'd better get this or you're not keeping up with everyone else" toward guys. I feel bad that they constantly are subjected to marketing that suggests they aren't good partners unless they buy their significant others something... and what once was an initiative to sell more cards has become a month-long tirade on how expensive jewelry is the true way to a woman's heart...

So Much to Do, So Little Time...

February 7, 2008 9:29 PM | filed in: , ,

What a week. Actually, what a month. Things have been hecticker than hectic here... and that's how I like it. Sort of. Nothing is worse than sitting around with nothing to do. (Of course, I haven't had nothing to do for many, many years.) Having too much to do is a little stressful, and I often feel like my overall productivity decreases if there's too much on my plate... like my brain thinks about all there is to do and has trouble focusing that energy on actually doing that all.Anyway:How about Super Tuesday?I have a confession to make so I...
