Oh yeah, I have a daughter
So my mom is apparently an internet whiz all of a sudden and is doing all the cool internet things to do, including that “25 things about you” shit. Let me give you a little flavor of her 25:
1. Registered Nurse 2. MRSA Activist 3. Work way too much 4. Design jewelry 5. Never relax, any suggestions!!! 6. I have 3 cats, 2 are Bengals, I got Lancelot from Jim Chenault’s...
Here’s a little taste of what’s to...
Wah Waaaaahh
I woke up this morning thinking it was Friday. You can imagine the disappointment.

Sorry. You're just a tool.
Danielle and Eric told me and Big Baby Bryan all about a show called Tool Academy. We decided to give it a shot, and we watched an episode tonight. The premise is that fed-up girlfriends enroll their extremely toolish boyfriends into school to try and learn not to be huge tools. It’s pretty amazing, bro, but perhaps dangerous to watch owing to the high levels of toolishness. For...

I changed up my blog style and unfortunately all of your hard hitting, thought provoking comments were lost in the process. I promise I’ll never change anything again…
What to call?
The band (me, Big Baby, Danielle. Eric) is called the Southern Gentlemen right now, but we’re considering changing it up. Any idears?

Today at 11am the office of my entire department closed down and everyone went to the auditorium to watch the Obama inauguration. I watched it down in the lobby where something like 100 people stood around in complete silence watching the ceremony. When Obama won the election, I walked down Main street to watch the people screaming in the street. I ducked into a bar to watch his acceptance...
Boyz II Gurlz
Me: I'm thinking of putting up a craigslist ad looking for three other girls interested in an all girl tribute band to Boyz II Men. "Do you sing female baritone? Reply now!"
Eric: Combine it with a transsexual flare and call it Boyz II Girlz
Me: Oh MAN! What a great idea! A gimmick along with a Boyz II Men tribute?! How could it fail?

Now with comments!
Girls love talking about periods!
My male audience (read: Nathan) can skip this one if they want to.
I had some medical drama that started about two months ago. You might know that I (used to?) suffer from severe migraines which are (were?!) characterized by 10 - 15 minutes of an aura followed by 6 to 8 hours of debilitating pain. The auras, which included blind spots, loss of peripheral vision, spinning, etc, are usually...

I hate the idea of New Years resolutions because I think they’re a bullshit gimmick that keep people from making important changes in their lives sooner than later. But, I’m nothing if not a conformist (plus I’m high as shit on Tylenol PM), so here are mine:
