10 Things

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

Carols unsung, bells unrung. Probably only 6 or 7 of these things are about YOU, yes, you.

1. You are so judgemental, I can’t even imagine where you’re coming from, let alone empathize, let alone what gives you the right to weigh in, without knowing anything? Seriously, what gives you the right? No one else has [...]

Winter Count #1

Monday, December 12th, 2005

I jumped on board the Tidings of Danger and Mayhem prompt project, but that was before I saw about half the prompts are Winter Counts.

I’ve loved reading everyone else’s Winter Counts, and they are a nice idea… for someone who is not me. My brain just doesn’t hook memories together, then divide them up, that [...]

Gigs

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

A man I know just got back from a week in Vegas. He told me he rode an elevator with Ashlee Simpson and her buddy. He said Ashlee Simpson gabbed and gabbed on her cell phone, loud as hell, the entire way up. Right before they got off, he asked Ashlee Simpson, “Is that really [...]

Aftermath

Saturday, December 10th, 2005

It’s hard for me to tell you how last night’s bender went, because I’m still kind of on it.

Last time, we went on a bender in the Keys and after all the bars closed, he started calling hotels trying to find one with a mini-bar. No success on that front, but I had to pee and remembered I still had a key card for the [...]

As Promised

Thursday, December 8th, 2005

The Best of Miss Budina. Suggested listening when reading: The Wind Beneath My Wings, Cat Scratch Fever, or The 1812 Overture. Really, it’s your call.

The story of how we got Miss Budina, and her first toilet-peeing adventure.

I’m a little afraid she hates me – my first, instinctual glimpse at her violent tendencies.

The first inkling of [...]

Breaking Down Breaking News

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005

You’re watching the news, and something big happens. The anchors might break into regular programming, they’re definitely going live, the CGs start ticking across the screen’s bottom, and we are going to live footage – maybe from a helicopter, if you’re lucky. It’s enough to give an editor a hard news hard on.

I’m in radio. [...]
