My mousepad on my laptop started acting up and doing stuff on it’s own, moving around, opening and closing programs, etc. When I plugged in an external mouse I could still use my computer, even though it was sort of challenging and annoying because the mousepad continued to do stuff on its own. So, I had [...]

I was telling Steve about the economic problems in Spain (40% unemployment for people my age?!) and he said that if I keep talking about stuff like this to people, they’re going to think I don’t have enough to do. But, without training seriously or coaching high school cross-country, I have a solid 40 or [...]
Mountain Biking Sucks and It is Stupid
Posted in Life and shit, Why You Wish You Were Me on November 16, 2011 | 4 Comments »
I fell yesterday. It wasn’t a big deal. The trail got really steep downhill and I was slowing, slowing, slowing down, but it was too rocky and there was a ditch/crevass/rut and I was going too slow. I knew I wasn’t going fast enough to clear it. I knew. I even tried to speed back [...]
So, yes, there was a wedding

Here’s some pretty pictures from the wedding – cause obviously, that was the whole point. And, yes, we did exchange ‘bling.’ And, no, it wasn’t Steve’s idea – it was mine and it was brilliant. I don’t like wedding cake, so there was a brownie sundae bar. Which, I hear, was good. I couldn’t figure [...]
The Problem with a Wedding
Posted in Life and shit on October 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
People keep being like ‘ohh, you’re getting married next weekend, you must be really stressed out.’ I even went to the doctor because I was pretty sick and she wrote it off as “wedding stress.” And, I am. Sure. But, it’s not cause like my florist isn’t coordinating with my hair dresser. It’s because we [...]
So. Steve Had an Accident

Yes, that is a picture of Steve on crutches at an ice cream store. Why is Steve on crutches? Because a week and a half ago, we were biking to the ice cream store on beater commuter bikes at about 10 mph (Steve was on the kind of bike you find in the garage and [...]
Go Forth

I know it’s a total sell-out — ‘the revolution will be televised’ — but the new Levi’s ads make me want to go out and like throw a burning bottle at something or jump in a lake or maybe buy a pair of jeans. your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into [...]
What Kind of Police Are You?
Posted in Life and shit on August 18, 2011 | 6 Comments »
The other day I was talking to a guy who owns one of those fake policing companies — ok, private security — and apparently they actually have the authority to do stuff. Their authority to detain people, etc, rests on the same code that allows citizens’ arrests essentially. Those fake security people are actually allowed [...]
The Last Week
Posted in Life and shit on August 9, 2011 | 1 Comment »
This is what the last week was like (without pictures, because I’m not a picture person). Monday: Work, pack, pack, work. If we don’t leave until 3 p.m., then we might as well wait until after traffic. We don’t leave until 3 p.m. It’s a long drive up to Tahoe. Followed by a short, short [...]
Headed to Tahoe Soon

We were watching old episodes of Glee yesterday and the incredibly annoying, patronizing episode went on and on about loving yourself and one girl – who supposedly was not hot – v. another girl – who was supposedly hot. Except like it’s TV, so everyone is relatively hot. It’s really annoying when we all pretend one [...]
