I Am Not a Jedi

Here I am, up at 5:30 a.m. on my birthday, more excited than a kid half my age for this day. (more…)

Had this lovely gem sent to me a couple days ago from my friend and former roomie, the lovely Ms. Liz. Her friend-of-a-friend made it. And it’s hilarious. Enjoy!

It’s only 7 a.m. and I’ve watched this 209820983 times. OK, so more like 2. But I think I’m going for a third…
Thanks, Woobs.

You can indulge in this moment of Zen:

OK, I know I said I don’t like just posting videos anymore, but this is hilarious. I totally LOL’d, OMG.

thank you, Kate Gorton for posting this ala facebook…

I’ve mentioned before that shortly after I graduated college, one of my first “real” jobs was working for the local podunk paper. Among other things, I was assigned to local and community news, which meant I got all the “hot” stories: school assemblies, the latest Knights of Columbus elections, Red Hat Day luncheons at the local Italian eatery.

One of my very first assignments was to cover a man who had decided to walk from the coast in NJ to LA and back, all to raise awareness for his cause (ironically, what that cause is now escapes me–childhood cancer? homelessness? child abuse prevention?). He was just a day short of completing this long journey and was finding refuge in my hometown. The local Ramada Inn was gracious enough to put him up for the night, free of charge and the next day he planned to continue his journey 30 miles east.

My assignment was to meet this unknown man at the Ramada Inn for an interview and a photograph(no one thought this might be a bad idea until I returned to the office, not hacked and not crammed in the man’s large backpack). (more…)

I will post more about my weekend soon(ish?), but I just wanted to be sure that, in case there were any questions, tonight was freakin’ awesome. Special thanks to Mrs. P, Jill, & Tim for allowing me to tag alone tonight. I laughed… I cried…I helped kill 2 bottles of wine. I also busted a considerable about of beads all of my friends, fellow patrons of the comedy show, and even managed to get beads in my shirt, pants, and underwear. Did I mention I helped kill 2 bottles of wine…?

I will more fully update on this and the other wonderful adventures of the weekend before next weekend comes. Until then…
