Glasses

By jesser | Published: 2:18 pm

We went shopping yesterday. Matt needed new glasses. He got his eyes exmained (compliments of our insurance plan) at one of those fancy boutique eyewear stores. After the salesgirl/eyewear stylist hovered over us for about 15 minutes while we looked at very expensive glasses, I made the executive decision to go find a cheaper place [...]

Sloth

By jesser | Published: 9:33 am

I dunno why, but I just feel like crawling back in bed. I'm not tired still, really, but bed just kinda sounds like a nice place to be. I woke up with pain in my neck and shoulders – I must have slept on it wrong – and I'm kind of cold and bed just [...]

You just can’t sound like a bad ass with a Wisconsin Accent

By jesser | Published: 10:05 pm

If you have a British accent, you can be sophisticated bad ass like Bond or Sark (from Alias). If you have a Italian accent, you can have whole mafia thing going. You have the stereotypical bad ass Brooklyn cabbie. You can even sound like a bad ass Red Neck if you’re from the south. But, [...]

Laundry, Ice and Mardi Gras

By jesser | Published: 8:20 am

Doncha hate it when clothes you need are sitting all washed … in the washer. Irritating. If I'd just remembered when I first got up that those clothes needed dried, I wouldn't be sitting here now waiting for them to dry so I can go work out. Very irritating. Also irritating me this morning is [...]

Editing, a Lost Art

By jesser | Published: 9:18 am

I've been reading a lot of books recently and I've been noticing some pretty poor editing. There's the usual misspellings and incorrect words and bad punctuation and comma splices and that sort of stuff that we sort of just take for granted as part of our vernacular. But then I noticed a couple of continuity [...]

Snap, You'll Be Missed!

By jesser | Published: 2:07 pm

Snap was born about three and a half years ago. He's had a rather fiesty attitude and didn't play well with others, so he got a tank all to himself. He sat by my computer for a long time, and I've spent hours watching him. He was an excellent digger and while he wasn't the [...]

Arduous

By jesser | Published: 8:50 am

Yes, kids, today's vocabulary word is: arduous. It means (in this case), “marked by great labor or effort.” Why is that the vocab word of the day? Because I get to spend all morning burning excess hard drive fat onto CDs so that my computer can function normally. Well actually, I have to take excess [...]

National Dog Biscuit Day

By jesser | Published: 2:14 pm

Apparently, today is National Dog Biscuit Day. The apartment managers left little baggies of dog biscuits for May on our door. That was pretty sweet. I'll make sure she gets them. Our apartment is one of the only ones in the area that allows larger dogs, so there are TONS here. It would be weird [...]

PB&B Sandwiches

By jesser | Published: 10:47 am

Recently, I've been very obsessed with peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Yum! Toasted bread, a bit of peanut butter and 9 slices of banana. Yummy scrumboes. The last episode of Sex and the City aired last night. I missed it, of course, since I cancelled HBO over a year ago. We weren't watching it and [...]
