How the socially awkward saved the world

I’m not sure how I originally came across the movie, The Girl in the Cafe, but it’s a 2005 film that’s been “on tour” these past few years, passed about from house to house all over the planet. I don’t know why they don’t just post it online and solicit viewer opinions that way, but […]

What I did on my summer vacation

Where I been: I have been boxing up my life and moving myself across the miles to a new land. And let me tell ya, this new land is awesome. Much sun, much swimming and a new job procured within 24 hours of setting foot here.
Life is grand.
My adrenals are still dragging on a leash […]

What I would have Twittered had I had the nerve

Made it in and out of Trader Joe’s without even fondling the chocolate-covered, peanut butter-filled pretzels. It’s a sad bit of maturity when an internal hemorrhoid starts making all the decisions.

Lost in translation

If you scroll down to Lily Hair Tonic on this page of Chinese herbal concoctions, you’ll see its tagline: Grows back hair in China!

This guy is obviously their best customer.

Service interruptus

If you’ve been to this site in the last week, then you may know my site went down for that long. At issue was some administrative malarkey and the expiry of the domain registration, which I had registered through a former host (HostGator). However, the former host (unbeknownst to me) was a reseller for a […]

Death by blogging

The New York Times recently ran an article on the physical toll taken on the body by blogging. In the past few months, two tech bloggers have had fatal coronaries, a third managed to survive his.
So I’m pretty sure my lack of recent posts has saved my life. At least, that’s the story I’m […]

My cat the cook

I’ve been subscribed to Fat Free Vegan for a while now. I think it won an award for the display, as it features delectable, mouth-watering pictures of suitable recipes for calorie-conscious vegans. Even though she uses a lot of starches, I’ve managed to glean some good recipes from the blog.
This week, in honor of St. […]

Diagnosis of the human condition

I’m fairly certain this blog would be more interesting, or at least more regular, if I actually was able to write about everything going on in my life. But as a healthcare practitioner, I can’t just blab any old thing I want to. Much as I would like.
From my recent HCG-inspired trip to the ER, […]

My Life as a Lead Balloon

For those of you still reading this blog, wondering what has become of its author, know that I am still walking the planet, albeit rather lethargically. I am going in for tests next week to see if my thyroid is misbehaving, because while I’m no stranger to bouts of blaaaaah, this one is trumping some […]

Horizontally yours

I’ve once again fallen victim to a bout of Absolutely No Energy, which explains the lack of posts o’er the last week. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone, and here’s a present to those of us who are….different.
