Tuesday, February 10, 2004Diamonds, Schmiamonds. Who Needs 'Em?!I despise diamonds. I think they are boring. Colourless and without personality. Blah. Give me a deep blue sapphire or a brilliant green emerald any day. Or a blood-red ruby. Even better, a garnet. Now there's a stone with character. What is it about diamonds that gets everyone all excited? They're... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, January 30, 2004Maybe P-Sarge Can Explain This One to Me?I was eating in a restaurant. Two cops (nice-looking, at that) came in and sat at the table next to mine. I found the short, muscular, blond one extremely attractive and kept a very discreet eye on him during the rest of my meal. Now you have to understand, a policeman once saved my life. Very bad... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, January 29, 2004Today's Agenda: Job InterviewYeah, okay. Again. Another interview. This is an opportunity that I just felt it would be foolish to pass up trying for. It's a temporary position, but there is a possibility of staying with the company after the temp work is over. It's a company my grandmother used to be a Vice-President of, and...

But I think she missed a point that I would like to expand on a bit here. I strongly recommend reading her blog first, and then coming back to read this one. It'll give you the background. People...

I have started my first novel. Oh my cat, I don't know what this may do to me. Drive me mad, or make me broke? Or, if, heaven help me, it actually sells, it might be the making of me. We'll see. I...

You know, the guy who played Luke Skywalker in the first three Star Wars movies? Keep that face and voice and body in mind. My kids have a video called Frog and Toad Together. [Yes, this does tie in.] It's a claymation thing...

I just wrote my first ever fan letter...I'm nearly 35 years old and never ever wrote anyone a fan letter before. I don't know if I did it right or not, but it's already mailed and on its way to the...

I told him that it wouldn't increase until a lawyer drew up paperwork and the court ordered and increase. He e-mailed me several times asking me to "take care of it," and then he...

So let's do the math on this, shall...

But I don't think the blame can legitimately be laid solely on our current President. It's important to remember that economic realities may take years to settle in, and the current administration will reap... Sign in to see full entry. |
