Innocent Ramblings of a So-Called Writer

I write for fun and sometimes for money. I make you no promises that this will be funny. I'm not poetic (at least not on purpose). I just blog whatever thoughts float to the surface. Comments to a blogger are like nip to a kitten. Leave me some and I'll be yours - totally smitten.

You have no idea how many stabs I took at that intro. Hence, why I put "So-Called" right there in the title. No false expectations.

I am so glad that there is someone else in my immediate circle of relationships that now understands what it feels like to know that your day is unproductive, incomplete and intellectually unfulfilled until you’ve watched at least two episodes of The West Wing.

I do realize, Sarah. I do realize what I have done to you. And I’m not sorry. I’m not sorry for making you a more fully realized, engaged citizen while at the same time entertaining you with some of the most well-written characters in TV history.

Leo: This is the most horrifying part of your liberalism. You think there are moral absolutes.

Barlett: There are moral absolutes.

Cannot. Stop. Watching. This. Show.

(I hope you realize what you’ve done to my social life, Jenn.)

Happy Birthday Time Travel!

Great Scott! It’s November 5th! Thanks for the reminder, E.

Doc Brown: Here’s a red-letter date in the history of science, November 5, 1955. Yes, of course, November 5, 1955.

Marty McFly: What, I don’t get what happened.

Doc: That was the day I invented time travel. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, I slipped, hit my head on the edge of the sink. And when I came to I had a revelation, a picture, a picture in my head, a picture of this. This is what makes time travel possible. The flux capacitor.

Marty: The flux capacitor?

Doc: It’s taken me almost thirty years and my entire family fortune to realize the vision of that day, my god has it been that long.

I can’t tell you how giddy this image makes me. I was raised on Muppets, and I intend to raise my children on them as well, one day.

Hi Everyone, I’m a Mac.
And, I’m a PC.
And this is the single most humbling moment of Jenn’s life - posting this ridiculous picture on the internet.  I will be uploading attractive pictures of myself shortly to counter balance any disgust you might be feeling at this moment.
You have to admit, coming up with a costume idea that allowed my Halloween-adverse husband to wear his normal clothes was pretty genius.
Happy Halloween!

UPDATE:  I tweeted this picture to John Hodgman, also known as THE ACTUAL GUY WHO PLAYS PC, and he retweeted it to his 158,000 followers.  Mock twitter all you want, but ACTUAL PC has seen me in costume as him. That simply DOES NOT HAPPEN in a pre-twitter world.

In the course of one 24-hour period, I have been followed by Spencer Pratt, Uggs, and “E-Cigarette”.
What in God’s name did I do to deserve this? Whatever it is, God, I am sorry. Please make it stop.
