One of the weirdest things about having a blog is that everyone can read it. I know, you’re saying, “Duh, Maura,” but bear with me. Almost everyone I know who is also at least slightly web-savvy knows about my website: family, friends, coworkers, etc. I know a lot of people keep their blogs a secret [...]
Happy Singles Awareness Day, my friends! I actually spent a great deal of thought today on whether “Singles” requires an apostrophe, but then I lost interest. I didn’t notice this until recently, but the acronym is perfect: SAD. I’m going to die alone. (I say at twenty-three.) I was thisclose to going out and getting [...]
I really, really hate it when people direct their anger at the wrong person. (I’ll admit, I do have the tendancy to overreact (it’s the hair), but it’s something I’m working on.) Tonight I went to Walgreen’s to get a prescription refilled. I had to wait a really long time because a very irate woman [...]
I watched Die Hard today. I haven’t seen this movie since those good old days when I lived with a boy. I didn’t see it in theaters because six-year-old girls generally don’t go see R-rated movies. Anyway. The casting in this movie is fantastic. First, of course, you have Bruce Willis as our hero, running [...]
This is the center console area in my car. There are two cupholders, and then there is this strange rectangular slot. I’ve always wondered what this was intended for, exactly. Luckily for me, it’s the perfect place to put my iPod. If you know what it’s actually for, let me know.
I’m boring tonight. I’m sorry. I think Splenda is made with crack. I’m addicted. On Alias tonight, when Vaughn found the antidote, he conveniently found a sterile syringe within an arm’s reach. Very convenient. I got a new book at piano today. Anyway, like I said, I’m sorry.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, and thus the beginning of Lent. I must remember to pack tuna for lunch. This Lenten season, I have decided to go ALL OUT. I am giving up the following things, and feel free to reprimand me if you notice I am taking part in any of them: Soda (regular AND [...]
Friends, I may be cranky for the next few weeks, and I need you all to bear with me. It’s finally time: I’m kicking the two-space habit. Back in the dark ages, in typing classes, students were taught to put two spaces after a period (or “full stop” for my British friends). For some reason, [...]
Did you catch the Paul McCartney halftime show? Man, that was…safe.
I’ve got a hot tip for you nerds out there: if you know anything about computers keep it a secret. Sure, it may get you a job or something, but there’s far too many cons. First, it kills your social life. As we know, men don’t like smart women, and women only date rich geeks. [...]
