Old News (The Unbearable Lightness Of Blogging)

Hope everyone is enjoying his or her extended holiday weekend ( where applicable ). Mine, meanwhile, has been completely horrible thus far! But thanks for asking. Here's a comprehensive list detailing how I've spent my last 72 hours (because I couldn't figure out how to create a pie graph): ~ Being... Sign in to see full entry.

Soooo, we went to Friendly's last night, and my boyfriend told me this absolutely hilarious story. I swear, I laughed so hard that Fribble came shooting out of my nose. One day, a middle-aged homemaker looks outside her kitchen window and sees an enormous gorilla sitting in a tree in her front yard.... Sign in to see full entry.

I was really bored, soooo, I figured I'd take a few photos of the flowers in my mother's garden. A garden she is quite proud of, actually. Plus one I, personally, contributed a great deal to, I might add. (Click on thumbnails for a better view.) Sign in to see full entry.

10. Getting my shoelaces caught in an escalator. 9. Those really, really small midgets (such as Mishu). 8. Eating something that has been tampered with by an escaped mental patient. 7. Q-tips. 6. Clowns in general; Bozo in particular. 5. Entering a public restroom and finding a "floater". 4.... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, when we left off the stock boy had just jumped out from behind some milk crates and shouted, "What are you doing?"... At first, I'm not sure if he is talking to me or not. He repeats the question. "Excuse me?" I say indignantly. "Is there a sticker on that?" he asks. "I don't see a sticker on... Sign in to see full entry.

Soooo, we (my mother, my brother & myself) are in the grocery store, shopping for food. ( Obviously.) The place is positively teeming with slow moving old people, which is a little unusual, save for the traditional three or four times a year they emerge from their cocoon-like condos to stock up for...

Okay, to be perfectly honest, the video cameras yielded slightly less dramatic results than I had hoped for. However, that's not to say Day One was a total wash. Here's what I've learned thus far: ~ The term "night vision" is something of a misnomer. ~ Ghosts evidentally take Wednesdays off... which... Sign in to see full entry.
