QotD: There's a Monster in My Closet

2008-08-19T13:28:22Z

What were you afraid of when you were younger that seems silly to you now? Submitted by wandie Dogs! I was bitten in the face by a neighbor's dog when I was young, and had to go to the hospital and everything. Combined with the running I'd do o...

Summer's Self-Appraisal

2008-08-18T13:43:35Z

Back in May, I created a list of 20 things I wanted to do this summer. I was fresh out of the spring semester, a good 6 weeks away from teaching my summer course, with months of summer stretching ahead of me. Now, school begins again in one week...

Reason #465 (and, uh, at times #1) why I love Bee. That's right. It's homemade pizza weekend. (Image from Bee's photo stream.) I am so marrying the right man.

Phelps... Pizza Man!

2008-08-14T18:52:35Z

I knew this guy had some appeal to me. But I was puzzled because I don't care for athletic swimming and, well, he's goony. But then I saw it in the last paragraph of this piece from Gapers Block's Drive Through: Free Salads if Phelps Wins 8 Am...

Found: Hours; or: Stupid, v2.0

2008-08-12T04:56:46Z

Just when I try to wax dramatic, reality kicks me in the pants. I know this is a good thing, but that swift kick can be painful. The most recent episode happened last winter. Tellingly, when I blogged about it, it was titled Stupid. Six months...

Pearly White Wedding?

2008-08-11T14:25:47Z

John-Patrick and I have both begun a 10-day Crest Whitestrips Premium PLUS program. I recently read that the tooth-whitening market has been given a huge boost in recent years by the billions-dollar wedding industry. Like, they're at all the br...
