swimming in humidity

07.20.2004 · Posted in Recovery

It’s so humid out today, as it was yesterday. You walk outside and you feel like you’re walking through a thick stew. As Paul Majors said on the news last night, your body loses it’s ability to cool down by sweating because the air is so humid your sweat won’t evaporate. Yuck. Do you ever ...

Major bummer

Joe Mauer won’t be appearing on the small screen for at least another 15 days. More knee problems for the hottie catcher ...

Really long domain names

07.19.2004 · Posted in Absurdity

A friend and I were just joking about how the only domain names left are full sentances.  Anything with under 5 or 6 characters is most likely taken.  He just sent me this link:   http://www.JohnKerryIsADouchebagButImVotingForHimAnyway.com/ I think it’s pretty funny     DISCLAIMER:   I’m not the most politically opinionated or active homo on the ...

Where’s the line?

07.19.2004 · Posted in Recovery

Okay, so I’ve been trying to live by a higher power’s timeline – his/it’s will, not my own. To those non-AAers, it’s basically equivalent to the thought behind the saying, “Live and let live.” (my own interpretation) In AA we talk about willingness and action. The willingness to let God determine what’s best for us, ...

Martha’s going to jail!

07.16.2004 · Posted in In the news

CNN just reported that Martha has been sentanced to 5 months in jail. The subheadline running across the bottom of the screen read, “Please continue to show your support by buying my products.” Good gawd! I did just get her salt and pepper shakers ...

MN gun law ‘shot’ down

07.14.2004 · Posted in Home / Minneapolis

This article in the Strib this morning is interesting. I admit, I haven’t had time to read it yet, but I’m excited to. It’s funny how things like this don’t get any press until they actually happen – I suppose because a judge can’t be influenced or bought (at least one would hope not!). ...

IKEA opens!

07.14.2004 · Posted in Home / Minneapolis

OMG – check out the photos posted on the Strib’s site of the wackos who camped out since Monday to be the first one’s in the door! I’m going to head there after work and take some photos of my own ...

No more biz casual for Target employees

07.14.2004 · Posted in Home / Minneapolis

Man – the Strib is just full of fun articles today! I actually caught wind of this news last month. Target HR sent out a company-wide email mandating the new policy and somebody forwarded me a copy. Thank gawd I work in advertising. Here’s what it said: Employees who do not follow these guidelines will ...

PHEW!

07.14.2004 · Posted in In the news

The FMA didn’t pass in the senate – woohoo!!! I’m so happy I could just dance! That focker Coleman voted for it. HRC just sent me the following email: Dear Dan, We did it! Just moments ago, the Federal Marriage Amendment lost in the Senate by a stunning, bipartisan vote of 50-48. We won this ...
