two runs

even though we lost the game, i'm proud to say that i got two runs. now, that ain't too shameful.

i have to admit, i like softball. (okay, a lot)

too bad aaron has sworn off being my only fan. he apparently doesn't like to watch a team that's up by more than 5 twice in one game actually lose it in the end. i can't say i blame him.

cello

so i've decided i'm going to play my cello again.

i haven't touched it since high school graduation, but i think of picking it up again all the time. so here is my commitment to myself. in about a year, i will have a 'recital' for my closest friends and family (if they want to travel for the occasion). it won't be good, but it will be real.

this weekend i will pull the badly wounded animal out of its case and see how much money i will need to pump into it to get it into playing condition again (my first hurdle to playing, let's hope it isn't too much).

kickball left unkicked

for the second week in a row, our kickball game was cancelled because of rain. poo.

i guess i needed to get laundry done anyway.

just to be fair...

shaq is probably a very nice person.

urf-links

okay, i know this is just wrong, but i have an issue with shaq. prepare yourself, i'm about to go to a place i rarely go- the pure rip on another human, a human that i've never met. i should be more compassionate than this, but for some reason, I'm not going to right now.

shaq is big and dumb and we reward him for that. he would have never made it through natural selection on his own (not that i necessarily would have either, but other humans don't reward me with millions of dollars for being as stupid as a box of hair).

the look on his face when he is playing basketball is the epitome of 'deer in headlights' and i imagine a very quiet 'uh, okay guys. okay, you can give it to me if you want. uh, okay. uh...' going through his brain.

i shouldn't say this, but i shudder to think that he was allowed to procreate. his use of the word 'earthling' during an interview, not to mention his pronunciation, honestly makes me want to cry a little.

i cannot believe we pay this man exhorbitant amounts of money and hold him up as an example to our children. yet the teachers in this country need to work summer jobs to help feed their families.

i don't ask much, mainly just that we start rewarding intelligence, too. (i knew i had a point)

i'm in advertising- what did you expect?

so this site launched today for my client, Porsche Cars North America: http://www2.us.porsche.com/cayman/pcna.asp

it's neat because you can see the new Cayman S. it is beautiful.

if you know me, you know it is extremely odd that i could ever have 'special' feelings for a car. but Porsche vehicles do it for me. it all started after i drove it around the track a few times in birmingham.

(sigh)

laura bush went to jerusalem and wore this on her head. i can't exactly articulate the reasons why this really really bothers me right now, but i'm sure there are about 50 different ones. okay, here's one: none of their ambassadors come to our country and wear our 'fashion', so it seems like a lame attempt at subordination, which angers me.

closer to a pink power suit

in february it was a promotion and a cell phone, in april it was a laptop, now it's my own blog. will i continue to acquire new trendy things as my real self fades into darkness? will i eventually own a pink power suit?
