I just have to share some excerpts from MyMomLandia: 1) An email I just received: your blog is great I read back to November I won’t do it again! love Mom I guess that’s in reference to when I told her she could read my blog “if she could find it herself“.?? Good job, Mom!… Continue reading my crazy mom

Okay, so lately I haven’t been much of a reader of The Onion, just out of sheer lack of time if nothing else (plus it’s gotten less and less funny) but their article on drugs in this week’s edition just hit it right on the nose for me, for some reason. It reminds me of… Continue reading The War on Drugs!

Second follow-up repost – know what? It’s over. The old title’s coming back. I know I said midnight, but I lied. Hari, shoot me an email, you win!

So this weekend, my roommate and her boyfriend decided to do a massive cleaning of the house. And it looks great – sparkling Murphy-oiled hardwood floors, spic n’ span kitchen, etc. And in the course of cleaning they also rearranged some things – moved this picture frame here, this vase there, yada yada, no big… Continue reading save me from the hover-couch

So, what is there to tell of note? 1) I am so very awesome that I mistook a per-person charge as a per-table charge at my swanky dinner on Friday night. And I am thus extremely and painfully broke. But it was delicious and we got free champagne and tuna tartare just because I’m so… Continue reading Weekly Updates in Ginnieland

Anyway, a quick anecdote: So my first-year law student roommate just went to some function or other at one of the big firms, and… Continue reading busy day, no time to blog, magic pen

So I was just perusing the ebay link Hari sent me about “Virginia is for lovers” shirts, and I was sad because none of them were cut all girly-like and cute, and the boy-cut shirts make me look fat (and then I wouldn’t have any lovers, duh) but then I had the brilliant insight to… Continue reading Virginia is for lovers, take 2

So this was such a funny excerpt from my roommate’s email to me just now that I had to blog it by proxy for her: “…when I stepped off the bus this morning and was walking down the ave, a sketchy guy said to me “You’re very pretty in a wholesome kind of way”. Who… Continue reading Proxy blogging

Gosh I hate not having an internet connection at home. When we first moved in, my roommate J tested her wireless card and it worked, so we assumed we’d be good with not getting the internet. I even had her buy me a wireless card on her UW account for cheap (shhhhh). But then, the… Continue reading tales of Zoka woe
