VCR Alert!

Friday, February 28th, 2003

Sunday night, the best show on all of television starts a new season - Six Feet Under returns for season three. I’ve been spoiler diving and there’s apparently a very interesting twist in the first 15 minutes, as well as some cool stuff happening in the next few episodes.

Busted!

Bad news

Friday, February 28th, 2003

I don’t feel like I can write particulars, since this isn’t my own tragedy, but a friend of mine just lost someone very close to her today and I’m afraid of slipping into platitudes. Grieving people don’t want to hear about how it was God’s plan or that it’s better this way. They [...]

Damn

I’m really taking the Mr. Rogers thing hard. I’ve been teary-eyed all day long. Am I the only one?

Yeah.

Went to see the surgeon today. He doesn’t know what’s wrong wtih me. He’s pawning me off to a dermatologist. Fine.
I’m tired and grouchy and the kids have been terrorizing me all week. I’m sure they’re tired of being cooped up, but that doesn’t mean they get to sleep with us [...]

The Ice of Texas is Upon You

Wednesday, February 26th, 2003

For those of you up north who are looking at the pictures of the ice and giggling to yourselves about how lame our “ice storm” was, you have to understand that the 1/4″ of ice you see completely shut down the city for the past 2 days, school was canceled, doctors’ offices closed, car wrecks [...]

Proof of ice

Those of you who don’t believe we got ice, think again. You know who you are, and so do we. (Thanks to Recreational Chemistry for help with the image stuff!)

Argh.

There are people in the world, stupid people, who just don’t get it and never will. They will never bother to read directions, and they will always be perplexed as to why things don’t go right for them.
Trust me on this.

Lotta weather we’ve been having lately

Wednesday, February 26th, 2003

This week has completely extinguished any faith I had in weathercasters. Even when it was apparent that it was sleeting outside, the forecasters insisted that it was dry. When it was in the 20s, they told us the lows would be in the 30s. Jim Spencer started to get with the program [...]
