There’s not much that I love as much as great pairs tap dancing. I saw this next one on TCM last February- it’s Christopher Walken on Gene Kelly: The scene with Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor is here. It won’t embed. Go watch it, though. It’s great.

Rave: Buying Glasses Online
March 19th, 2010 · No Comments · In Summary, Rants/Raves
Okay, I am officially recommending the practice of buying prescription glasses on the internet. I have bought three pairs (3!) in the past 3 months, and all of them have turned out pretty well. In total, I spent less on three pairs than I spent on my last pair of replacement lenses (not including frames) [...]

Last Weekend; TIBTIL
July 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Photography, Rants/Raves, What I Did Last Weekend
Good lord, we had some spectacular July weather in these parts over the weekend. It was sunny but cool and comfortable. Of course, that meant that my ridiculously negative Facebook friends just had to complain about it being too cold to swim, but there is just no pleasing some people. I mean, it was a [...]

How I Am: Disorganized, Living Alone, Giant Nerd

I refuse to be swayed by the disillusionment that seems to be sweeping parts of the uber-left wing of the Democratic Party (especially my gay comrades; like, shut up. I agree that DOMA and DADT should be handled, and soon, but pretending they are priorities above the health care, war, and economy disasters that are [...]

July 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Rants/Raves, Today I Learned
I am annoyed with people online today. I won’t get into what’s annoying me this afternoon, but this morning I posted a snide comment on a design blog about this clock, and was taken to task for finding the whole concept ludicrous. If you didn’t follow the link, you’re missing out on an Eco-Friendly Chronometer [...]

Making It Work
April 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Movies, Rants/Raves
This morning- chaos in the closet! None of my black pants fit anymore. I ended up wearing the same pair of dressy trouser jeans as yesterday, which is annoying. Tonight I will take most of my black pants to the tailor and see if I can’t get them to take them in (though the problem [...]

Stuff I’ve Bought on Etsy
April 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Rants/Raves
God, I’ve spent a lot of time on Etsy. I only got an account there in October, but I just love browsing and I end up buying more crap than I probably ever need, but there’s so much cute stuff! And inexpensive! Some of this I bought for myself (obviously, the hairpins are all mine) but [...]

Road Thoughts
February 19th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Links, Rants/Raves
After I wrote a post in January talking about how cheap the City of Columbia parking tickets are, and how they are a non-deterrent to me because of said cheapness, I got three parking tickets in one day last week, and I just paid them all. I totally deserve them, because I just parked and [...]

Dear Little iPhone, How I Love You
November 20th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Endless Blathering, Movies/TV, Rants/Raves, Travel
Oh, it is pretty. It is so pretty. After a couple of days trying to puzzle out the settings on that Windows Mobile-based phone (and was a perfectly good phone, with great reviews), it is like having a phone that reads your mind. I marvel at its exact perfection! I have it in a soft [...]

My Shaky Relationships with Members of Columbia’s Small Business Community
September 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Endless Blathering, Rants/Raves
I am in sort of a rotten mood today. Uck. I dropped off two pairs of pants to be hemmed at a tailor at Crossroads Shopping Center. If you’re familiar with Columbia, it’s at the corner of Broadway and Stadium Blvd. I hate Crossroads. There’s only one way into the parking lot, and that’s from [...]
