I have a handful of wonderful friends to pass my days with on Gmail chat. If you follow me on Twitter, you already know that Beth is constantly spouting off quotable things in all-caps. (I am constantly in a struggle about which recent Beth quote I should use in a tweet.) She also sometimes has Read More
All my dreams came true this weekend when I was able to get my phone fixed. I can text again! I can read my emails! I can call 911 about the gunshots in our neighborhood! It’s PERFECT! (Thanks, Tech Medic! You guys are amazing!) The only person who is as excited as me: Beth. She Read More
Just snippets of two conversations I had today in regard to the Supreme Court ruling on healthcare. 1. Cailyn: Oh, the healthcare ruling is today. I am out of touch. Beth: I knew that! I win! (Because I wake up to NPR!) … Beth: Time for some motherfucking CSPAN VIDEO FEED. It’s my jam. … Read More
If you don’t watch The Walking Dead, here’s what you need to know. (1) There are basically no zombies even though it’s supposedly the zombie apocalypse. (2) You will never see a less supervised child than Carl, the son of the show’s protagonist. He basically wanders around stealing guns and getting other people killed. Read More
Matt and I (Brian watches with me, but I don’t need to text him) watch The Walking Dead every Sunday night. There is so much talking, and there are never enough zombies. This week, we were complaining about a lot of inefficiency. Surprised? Also, I’m a little crass about my desire for certain characters to Read More
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I love drag queens. If I wasn’t a woman, I would be performing in drag a la Connie and Carla. Lip-syncing all my favorite songs in outlandish dresses with hair so big it hits the ceiling? SIGN. ME. UP. Not to mention the fact that Read More
Sometimes, I can’t think of a way to build an entire blog post out of my conversations, so here are a few snippets that I’ve been holding for a later date. (Spoiler: there is no later date.) Snippet #1. Cailyn: And… I have no idea how to make a long distance call with my new Read More
Brian and I are kind of addicted to movies/pop culture/technology/video games. Ok, addicted is the wrong word. We’re enthusiasts. We’re not obsessed, but we have a fair amount of knowledge about current and past television shows, movies, etc. Entertainment, I guess. Sometimes, my mom will present a “Which movie was it that…” scenario which we, Read More
Not so much a conversation as much as two simple text messages that managed to make my day. Things you need to know to get the most of this screen grab: (1) Matt and I have been friends since I was in 9th grade when I told him that he was slowing down the low Read More
Since a lot of my time is spent online (and I am younger than 40), there is often some online chatting. iChat is kind of an unofficial way to communicate with my immediate coworkers, but I also spend the day logged into my Gmail account occasionally complaining talking to my non-work friends (across different disciplines) about Read More
