I can’t afford to go out so I’m sitting home Saturday night like a loser. Good thing I’ve been bitten by the web bug again and mocking up my work place’s web site turned into a night of energetic wrestling with my own sites and most notably this blog. I realize now how much I’ve [...]
I’m starting to lose hope that what I’m looking for in this city just does not exist. I am a realist and I know what I’m really looking for starts at about $350,000 which is much too much for one person on my pay to afford. The perfect place is a condo in an older [...]
I was digging around in my computer’s drive and I found a CNN article I had saved entitled “Be smarter at work… slack off”. Within it is this quote:
But it’s really, really hard, if not impossible, for the human brain to come up with fresh new ideas
when its owner is overworked, overtired, and stressed out. [...]
I have never in my life regretted spending anything on anything as I do right now. I did a cost comparison of my top five properties and it’s like trying to fit into a pair of jeans that are two sizes too small. Other than two properties, it just will not fit into an incredibly [...]
I actually thought of this the 26th, two days after the holiday. This is the first year I haven’t remembered the holiday when I see July 24th written someplace. I guess I have finally moved out.
And just one more clip to make you irate in case you’re not mad enough already. It’s the clip entitled “Fighting Foreclosure”, not the one on the most expensive cities.
How a woman making $50,000 a year could for one moment think she could get a house worth $560,000 and NOT foreclose takes my mind beyond [...]
ABC’s show Hopkins, a miniseries on the life and times at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, is finally real life in a hospital. There have been a lot of medical dramas from the good days on ER to the current Gray’s Anatomy. None have come close to what life is like at a top [...]
I watch some CNN every morning in spite of it being early and my TV’s remote (or sensor) being broken. I scroll all the way from 60 (the Food Network) to 20 manually just because I like my smattering of news in the morning. I’d prefer to read the New York Times online like I [...]
So what was that latest Lost episode all about? I get confused when people mess with time travel since I don’t see how it could exist, I have a hard time keeping track of people, places, and things in a jumbled chronology and I can’t help thinking of it as a cop out as far [...]
I hate calling a summary of my impressions of a thing a “review” since the term implies expertise and/ or employment. The following impressions are anything but cohesive or expert essays. They’re just impressions typed out in my cold apartment on the new, flat Apple keyboard.
Radiohead: Not only are they incredibly hip and intelligent by [...]
It’s Labor Day weekend once again and to many people, it’s the end of the summer. There will still be hot weather ahead and hard days at work and school. Days will get shorter and shorter and colder. But this weekend, it’s a weekend off. Enjoy it.
I’ve never liked the summer thanks to the oppressive [...]
I may have to see this again. When I saw it, it was one day before the last book came out and I wasn’t really focused, if you will. I rarely see movies twice in the theatre, but I don’t think I was fit to give this one a fair chance.
