Here we are in the middle of the summer movie blockbuster glut and NO ONE, not one of you, told me that Kevin Smith’s “Clerks 2” was coming out. I’m sad. Disappointed. Heartbroken.… and I have nothing to post about today. For the rest of my fellow Clerks fans here is the link to the…

Thanks to several of you asking about the comments, I’ve caved. I hope you’re happy. Just remember to play nice or as nice as you can without causing yourself an aneurysm. If you make me so much as twitch, please remember my friend Lynn lives in the Nevada desert and that CSI is just a…

This is from April’s recent adventures while standing in line waiting to pick-up her Superman tickets. She kindly wrote it up for me. Superman: 10:15 p.m. Tuesday, June 27 @ Alamo Drafthouse South Jimi and I are at the theatre about an hour before show time and position ourselves at the end of the line.…

Old Story for Lori As I’ve mentioned before it was my life’s ambition as a child to grow up and be a hoodlum. After realizing my physical limitations I later modified it to, “I want a double-wide and my pick of house dresses.” Some of you are thinking, “oh Beth, another one of your stories…”…

Well, it’s time I kill two birds with one stone. I need to tell Lori an old story and I need to goof on one friend who owes me a story. Since Jonathan is off horsing around in some small town in Texas and swears he’s only seen “blah” films so he can’t possibly review…

!!!BALLOONS!!!Thank you guys!!! You are the best!!!!For those of you not lucky enough to have friends and family like mine, let me share my day through pictures. From Charla. 🙂 … and from Ahnner & Jonathan (forgive the quality, it’s from my cell phone – it’s all I had at work) THANK YOU THANK YOU…

I love deliveries that show up at the office unannounced. I don’t get them, but I love them for other people. I love seeing the flowers, the balloons, the fruit baskets and what not. Of course, I’m the kind of person that gets excited to see a card in the mail or a letter. It…

Living where we now do entitles me to an exceptionally large trashcan. Forget metal dumpsters that you have to trundle bags of trash a block or so away to, I have my very own plastic container of waste disposing joy. This trashcan, all dolled up in hunter green with a little black roof, is larger…

Well, that’s a wrap on the reunion. I suppose it was a success seeing that I didn’t manage to spontaneously combust. Although, a baby alien did try to birth itself from the side of my skull, but healthy, un-recommended doses of Excedrin kept it at bay for the weekend. Several of you would have been…

I love my family with all their quirks, shortcomings, long-comings (hey, it’s the opposite of short-comings and I’m making that official as of today), drama, etc., etc. – you have family so you know the adjectives could run on for days and never truly encapsulate a family. Now the way I was raised, you stand…

I was reminded this week how much I hate forwarded e-mail. The one I received was the most vile piece of modern day fascist filth to ever be typed and distributed on the internet; it was one of those e-mails that made me see red – the kind that made me want to slap the…

I’m writing this on the fly thanks to the internet magically eating what I had intended to post. Yes, I know any IT person will tell you that the internet doesn’t “eat” things and the dorkier ones will give you a run down about the digestive system to boot which will invarably be followed with…

Absolute Truths –Anyone who has spent more than a week in an introductory philosophy class has been exposed to the notion of Plato’s cave. Philosophers, mathematicians and theologians (which I think should be lumped with philosophers, but what the heck) search for and debate the concept of absolute truths. Lucky for everyone that The Mess…

I’m behind on Mess updates thanks to being without the internet for days on end, so I’ll do my best to make up. My friend Lynn, the bitter, hostile one, made a list recently called “The Little Things”. http://piecesofravenhex.blogspot.com/2006/05/little-things-list-i-blame-lisa.htmlNow, while I find it funny in the sense that Lynn had to write about things she…
