  • Blessing in Disguise?

    Perhaps the carpetbangers were a blessing in disguise.  Maybe this is meant to help jolt me out of my up-til-5am-sleep-til-noon sleeping pattern.  It’s not that I like sleeping in to an unreasonable hour, it’s that I can’t seem to force myself to go lie down or to fall asleep at a time that would allow…

  • Death to the Carpetbangers

     I am fucking ready to KILL!!!  I finally managed to get to sleep at 5:30am and was awakened 45 minutes ago at 8:30am by hammering on the wall of the next apartment that is attached to my bedroom wall.  Apparently, there’s some guys in the apartment next door and they’re installing carpet or some such…

  • The Night Owl Flies Again

    Why, oh, why can I never seem to fall asleep at a normal hour?  Perhaps the half-hour nap I took on the couch earlier?  How can such a short nip of sleep screw up my ability to want to sleep a full night at a normal time?  Who the hell knows. I woke up late…

  • What Goeth Down in the World of Moi

     I just woke up a little while ago from a night of crazy dreams.  First, I was dreaming something about Verdie, yet again and she was lying in the bed and every time she fell asleep, we all thought she had died.  She kept getting annoyed that we’d go over and start shaking her or…

  • 14-Hour Workday – The Joys of Entrepreneurship

    Today (er…technically yesterday now) has been THE longest work day of my life, it feels like. I am working on a couple of projects for Rennie (my big real estate client) and one of them is at the laying-out-floorplans stage, which is never fun. But, in this case, I had to make what is called…

  • Update of the Day and 50 Questions – My Edition

    I honestly can’t believe I’m not in bed yet.  I’m so tired.  I woke up to Tracey coming home from work and telling me in overly-graphic detail about how she was sick at work last night and barely made it to the toilet to vomit. Nice.  Puking is the worst thing imaginable in my book (well, not really, but it’s UP…

  • Protected: This is Why I’m Hot and Tales from the Couch

    There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

  • So Far, So Good (Smallville is Super)

    I just have to say…Smallville friggin’ kicks ASS!  I watched the latest episode last night and, I swear, every single time I watch that show, I feel like I’m drawn into that world and I am always sad when the show is over.  It’s really no wonder that I went through 5 seasons on DVD in…

  • Low-Key Day

    Today was pretty low key.  I woke up a little before 11:00am, having gone to sleep around 5:00am.  I got a few emails from folks at Rennie, but nothing major. Angelica told me that the postcard is being postponed for a couple of weeks, so that’s a relief.  I have to start working on floorplans tomorrow to…

  • An Attempt at Summarizing

    Ok, Frank, let’s see if I can do your superior summarizing skills justice… Was an interesting day – Jerilynn responded to my MySpace message and I ended up talking to her on IM for a couple of hours. Was cool to catch up with her!  She told me to write to Deon via Deon’s son’s…
