The Google Zeitgeist 2012 video is up. I watched it at lunch and was definitely feeling teary-eyed by the end. Then again, part of that might have been exhaustion from dealing with this: (That’s the *inside* of the store’s front door this morning. I only got a chance to see that after I’d used my […]
It seems fitting to get in one more ‘oh work’ post before the end of the year. Today was the day for Ice Adventures. The building is getting new siding, but the project has been held up by rain, holidays, and, most recently, snow. (Lots of snow.) Which is really just my way of saying […]
I was supposed to be getting ‘The Big Year’ so my family could watch it again, but somehow ended up with ‘Tower Heist’ instead. Which — they’re not really that similar, actually. I vaguely remembered the preview for ‘Tower Heist.’ Said preview left me with the Strong Impression that the money was hidden under the […]
I really wanted to do a ‘year in review’ kind of post, but I got a little bogged down. It was a busy year! So here’s my year in pictures — the first picture I posted each month. JANUARY [also my birthday month!] FEBRUARY [I did, frequently, wonder if I was taking crazy pills.] MARCH […]

Google Santa Tracker Santa is currently “Jingling all the way,” and I have reached level 8 of the racing game. This seems like one of those sites you can sit your kid in front of on Christmas Eve so they stop pestering you about presents, which is probably why I find it so entertaining. (NORAD […]
Thanks to copperbadge, I was thinking about the movie ‘What’s Your Number‘ tonight. I watched it all the way through once, and was reminded of my immense disappointment when I realized that Colin Shea was not actually Jake Adams. Here’s how I wanted the movie to go: -So Ally (main character) and Jake (‘the one […]
