Latest WordPress PostsMother says I should at least have a white dress if I’m going to insist on not needing an expensive ring that probably cost somebody his life and which I will likely end up taking off and losing inside a piano somewhere. So, here’s what I’ve come up with: the J. Crew Sophia dress plus a tangerine sash from David’s Bridal. Cheap, easy, and of course, very me.
Daily blogging doesn’t seem to happen when I have imminent project wrap-ups. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
All WordPress, all the time. More information over at my web portfolio. Which really, really needs a facelift. Poor baby.
Actual quotes from a flight from PHL to ORF. I wrote them down in my Sudoku book and everything.
On their pending vacation/bachelor’s weekend/whatever in VB:
I’m gonna eat lobster. I eat whatever the fuck I want.
On some sort of business venture:
It’s gonna take off. I’m sitting on the fucking launchpad, man. Like a strong drink – I’m gonna stir it up.
On patriotism, from a man who probably calls the Chinese a bunch of dirty commies:
It’s AMERICA, you gotta share the gold!
On the aerial view of the dirty and polluted Elizabeth River:
Look at that beautiful sea!
Heading into security here at Rochester International Airport (international by virtue of flights to Canada, I’m sure), I was asked what my final destination was. Apparently not hearing me well, instead of asking me to repeat myself, he asked, “North Korea?” I repeated myself, this time adding “Virginia”, and he said, “OHHHH Norfolk” (pronounced Nor-Folk). Should I be irritated that:
a) He didn’t realize that you can’t just fly into North Korea.
b) He assumed I was going to an Asian country. Without my passport.
c) They pronounce Norfolk so damn weird up here.
FYI, other non-Virginians: it’s NOR-fək. That weird character is called a schwa – it’s that indeterminate vowel that’s kind of like “uh” but non-accented.
I wish. So unfortunate that this recipe/method from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day is pure magic, because it’s almost certainly not going to help me lose weight and get in shape. It’s amazing that with a minimal amount of hands-on work, I can have a freshly baked, artisanal loaf of bread that has complex flavors and a thin crust that snaps. Seriously. It’s worth making it RIGHT NOW.
