xy-z:
The grocery I bought for Lyla and I felt a bit heavy in my arms. Above me was a spilled golden red chased by lavender, there were no clouds, the lake glimmered, each glint rolled gently atop another; the evening air, the quietness, the scent of the lake, this was exactly how I remembered it. I…

Signed, Sealed, Delivered
I may not have a job, but I still work.
Last night while watching Conspiracy Theory starring MEL, I realized when I get out of school, my “not at work” time will be FREE. FUCKIN FREE, DOG! Free as a bird! As free as syphilis from Derek Jeter! Oh, sweet readers, this is a freedom I have not had for 4 years. The sweet taste of victory is almost in my mouth.
I did 8 (count ‘em) 8...

Cheap people
maybeitsrapture:
I fuckin can’t stand it when people are cheap - it annoys me to no end.
Recent story: A friend asked if she could borrow money from me to buy a beer at a bar. I was already in front of the bartender, so I ordered two beers and handed one to her. The next day, she asks how much she’s supposed to pay me back -
“3.50, right?” “4.50.” “FOUR fifty?! I thought the beer was 3.50!”...

Ten Design Lessons
nevver:
1. Respect “the genius of a place.” 2. Subordinate details to the whole. 3. The art is to conceal art. 4. Aim for the unconscious. 5. Avoid fashion for fashion’s sake. 6. Formal training isn’t required. 7. Words matter. 8. Stand for something. 9. Utility trumps ornament. 10. Never too much, hardly enough. from Frederick Law Olmsted, the father of American landscape architecture.

Short a penny
My retort to the argument companies MUST outsource to please shareholders.
Companies have an obligation to make sure they take care of the shareholders, yes. However, doing things which damage the country as a whole isn’t much of a payoff in my mind. Verena, I like your example of going out and teaching people how to help themselves instead of just doing it for them. One of my issues with...

This is my retort to the discussion of taking away outsourced labor and forcing successful companies to hire US workers.
The only reason the company would have to pass on costs to their consumers after they were ‘forced’ to switch back to US labor instead of outsourced is because that company chose to do soThere is nothing that says being ethical won’t cut into your...

Diddy was nearly eaten alive by the flu last week, but he survived and in honor of his comeback (Can you call it a “comeback” when nobody wants you to come back?) he has decided to rename himself “Swag” for the next week. Don’t ask me why he chose Swag, but Diddy made the announcement during one of his videocasts.
You know, Diddy has come by Puffy, P. Diddy, Sean...

Under Our Skin
Last night I watched a documentary about Lyme disease called Under Our Skin. To say it was informative would be an understatement.
If you’re like me, the only things you know about Lyme disease are that it comes from ticks and Irene on the Real World Seattle had it, which forced her to leave and caused a bunch of drama (side note-it looks like she’s made quite a respectable career...
