There's a restaurant in Cary I've read about a couple of dozen times, easily. The Independent, the local free weekly, always lists it in its restaurant issue. It's called “Abbey Road” and, to judge by a menu I'd seen in a magazine at some point in the past, it's a Beatles-themed restaurant. So, that's whereContinue reading “On Saturday”

On Friday
Yesterday was a colleague's last day. He was the only person in the company with whom I'd discussed the possibility of leaving, and even then I didn't go into great detail as to why I might be doing so. We had similar complaints about the company and its direction, we'd been through the same advancedContinue reading “On Friday”
On Taking the Plunge
It's done. No, not the evil plan. (And please, people — stop asking me about my evil plan!) I submitted my letter of resignation to EB Games today. No, it wasn't profanity laced. I didn't even take the opportunity to castigate the company for its insane decisions this past year. There's no reason to burnContinue reading “On Taking the Plunge”
On Shaving
I'd gotten a bit scruffy. Six days scruffy. Stubble I like. Scruffy I don't. It's been too hot to shave. But the scruffiness had to go. So, I scraped my face this morning. It feels nice. Not scruffy, not now. 🙂
On the Job Search
The job search continues. That nibble? I returned their phone call last week, got an answering machine. That was last week. Sunday I went through and applied for a dozen positions through Monster.com. This morning I'm going through the Baltimore Sun website. On a lark, I've applied for a job with the Baltimore Sun itself.Continue reading “On the Job Search”
On Answering Life's Many Questions
As seen on Ross‘s LiveJournal, questions about life!” 1. Elaborate on your default icon. If I were a South Park character, that's the kind of South Park character I'd look like. 2. What's your current relationship status? Single. Never been married. Not currently dating. 3. Ever have a near-death experience? Yes. There was the accidentContinue reading “On Answering Life's Many Questions”
On Root Beer Floats
A root beer float made with mint chocolate chip ice cream tastes medicinal. Just so everyone's clear.
On My Grandmother's Perceptions
For several months my grandmother has talked about the women who live in the treehouse in the back yard, how they will invite her to dine with them each morning, how they swing on vines like Tarzan, how they have sleds on ropes to go from tree to tree to tree. It took me aContinue reading “On My Grandmother's Perceptions”
On Evaluating the Week
Today I feel mildly awake. It’s been quite a long week. Shore Leave over the weekend, inventory prep at the store–convention, lengthy drive, twelve-plus hour days at work. Suffice to say yesterday I was exhausted and unable to move, and not just from the seventeen hour shift I pulled on Wednesday due to performing theContinue reading “On Evaluating the Week”
On Thursday
I look on my friends' list, and what do I see? Thursday wailing and bemoaning. It's Thursday?!? How do this happen? Surely it's only Wednesday…. But no, it's not. I check the calendar, it really is Thursday. Sigh. Twelve hour shift on Monday. Twelve hour shift on Tuesday. And a seventeen hour shift Wednesday, endingContinue reading “On Thursday”
