So, here's the deal . . . today I was listening to the Me First & the Gimme Gimmes' rendition of "My Favorite Things" (you know - the song Maria sings in The Sound of Music). Whether you listen to their rockin' cover or Julie Andrew's singing it in the movie version, …

So, here's the deal . . . I had my regular check up with the Big C doctor. I told him that I was feeling anxious - which I definitely am. He responded by saying that he thought I was only now really acknowledging my feelings about having cancer. He went on to say …
Don't give up hope on finding wonderful people in the world . . . and on the Internet! The good folks at www.knivesinfinity.com recently contacted me about placing a link to their website on this blog. In exchange for the post, they donated to a cause that is near and …

So, I'm working on my company's corporate website - rewriting the copy for it, that is. This is a process so steeped in angst! I may need a couple of Prozac or Paxil in order to finish . . . or just a good, stiff drink anyway.
The company I work for is not too bad . . …

Yeah, so I finally found the most awesome contacts in the world that don't dry my eyes out. I tested them on a weekend when I didn't do a lot of reading. I get my prescription filled and wear them to work today. Funny thing . . . I found that I suddenly need longer arms …

So, do you remember how Hollywood did a big telethon for Hurricane Katrina survivors? You know . . . the one where Kanye West stood by a seemingly uncomfortable Mike Myers and told the country that "George Bush hates black people." Yeah . . . well, I don't know what …

One of my friends or co-workers - I haven't figured it out yet - has decided to have me "arrested" for a good cause. The Muscular Dystrophy Association will be coming to haul me away from work at noon on June 25, and won't let me go until I meet my bail of $2,500! I …

I had the following comment on my Earth Day posting this past week. I never thought about the fact that these new compact fluorescent bulbs contain mercury. I had heard that the big fluorescent lights had nasty stuff in them, but I didn't put two and two together …

Yesterday I saw a lady who works at Countryside Cancer Center. She said she kept thinking she knew me, but I looked too well to have come to the office. Well, I did use to go to that office for radiation two years ago. It's been two great years full of annoying tests …
Hi Gang . . . I just wanted to wish you a Happy Earth Day. You don't have to be a tree hugger to appreciate the beauty of our natural surroundings and to desire a clean, unpolluted environment. Plus, some green initiatives actually help you save money. For example, …

Image via WikipediaSo, I came home today to find the dogs watching Jerry Springer. Yes, they watch TV. Mainly, we make them watch TV all day to distract them from the noises of the apartment complex. They bark at every little thing!
Anyway . . . so, Jerry Springer is …

OK. I know I will come off like a jerk, but the whole "Idol Gives Back" thing kind of makes me want to gag. I can't quite put my finger on why I want to gag, but I do.
Yes, I know this raises money to help people that really need help. I thought I was going to choke …

Just my half-eaten dinner. I can't eat it all . . . I guess I don't like sloppy joes as much as I thought I did. It's been about 50 million years since I last had one.
Image from WikipediaSo, Charlton Heston died. That's sad. Whatever your politics about guns and what all the NRA stands for, you gotta admit that the dude had some kick butt roles in his film days. He parted the Red Sea as Moses, he was the Omega Man (the original …
