July 30, 2002 on 7:00 am | In Life UpdatesNew apartment. One bedroom, one bathroom, one family room, one kitchen, one coat closet, one balcony. All 50+ boxes unloaded.
We’re tired.

July 24, 2002 on 6:27 pm | In Life Updates, Modern TechnologyMy new cell phone has an awesome number, but the wrong area code. Like, it’s 555-3000, except for the 555 part. I’m gonna have to get the number changed, but it’s sort of like sending back the caviar because you prefer it served in glass bowls. You just KNOW they’re gonna spit in it now.

July 21, 2002 on 8:33 pm | In MoviesI did not win, place, or show in this week’s Washington Post contest. All I did was rename the results shown this week. I’m slipping.
This weekend, watched “Don’t Say a Word” and “John Q.” “Don’t Say a Word” was exceptionally mediocre. Mediocre to mediocre minus, in fact.
“John Q,” on the other hand, was great. It suffered only from a selection of trite, way-too-predictable quick scenes in an otherwise well-done story. I don’t need to see my hero go to a government aid office with really long lines, wait for an hour to be seen, and then be told he’s in the wrong line and needs to go the back of the other really long line. You know what I’m talking about. Everyone knows what I’m talking about. That’s why it doesn’t belong in a good movie.

July 19, 2002 on 11:59 pm | In Funny Internet Things, Things of Amusement to MeHeh heh. Two things to smile about:
1. Alwina reads my Blog! Hi Alwina! Miss you!
2. This CNN article has a photo and caption on the top. The caption’s grammatic failure entertains me greatly, though I can’t say quite why. Especially if the photo were taken in, say, Nebraska.
You’ll get it if you see it. Unless you’re really lame..

July 19, 2002 on 12:51 am | In UncategorizedHe’s stopped blogging. Does he still love us?
Yes. He got a job, though. He has to have some freaking priorities.
His fiancee’s top-choice job, and one that she is likely to get, pays double what he’s getting. Yeah, but he got a job FIRST. So he doesn’t feel emasculated.
Not too emasculated, anyway.
Plus, I bet the people at the school for developmentally disabled children that she’ll work at don’t swear nearly as well or as frequently as the employees of the lit/talent/below-the-line agency I work for. Chew on THAT, Lauren.
