louder please

speak up, i can't hear you

what’s that sound?

kelly | January 23, 2009

through a convoluted series of events that span almost an entire year and include writing classes and comic book fans, i’ve been invited to participate in a closed beta for an up and coming …um… let’s go with “conversation site.” they define themselves much better and it’s probably better for me to just quote [...]

not my best day

kelly | March 31, 2008

so…it’s been a week. and then another week. …and then a third week? surely not. i think it’s only been the two. anyway, my “a week and then i’ll see,” week is totally up.
the first week was full of all sorts of potential planning. i didn’t get very [...]

2007 mid-ish year recap

kelly | September 1, 2007

wherein kelly throws herself a whiny pity party and decides upon review that she really doesn’t care about the tense shifting and inconsistent capitalization enough to do anything about it.
let’s recap, shall we?
January
bad: found out my dad’s “spots” were very terminal pancreatic cancer
February
good: *finally* sold our damn house.
bittersweet: found out friends were pregnant (what? i’m [...]

and she never posted again

kelly | April 22, 2007

don’t feel too neglected. it’s not like i’m making uber-regular updates on the baby blog.
i’m sort of in this “blah” or “meh” state right now. the baby’s doing its thing and baking quite nicely. it hasn’t given me too hard a time so far with symptoms and cravings, so i really shouldn’t complain. [...]

2007: a look ahead

kelly | January 1, 2007

here’s the things that i’d like to do this year:

drink less soda (maybe 1 a day?)
drink way more water (some in the form of tea)
wean myself mostly off of caffeine by march-ish
exercise regularly (once week by march, adding a “once” every week every quarter)
read one book a month (pitiful goal, i know, but considering i [...]

pedestrial

kelly | October 31, 2006

most days we walk to and from work it’s about 8 blocks. we also make a starbucks run …almost every day at work (shameful, i know), and then there’s the walking to lunch that takes in the same general direction as starbucks on a daily basis. the point is, we do a lot of [...]

definition of blasphemy

kelly | September 6, 2006

i’m actually not sure what bothers me about this spot. i think the fact that the gap’s using audrey to pimp clothing is actually more disturbing than pairing her funny-face dance with an AC/DC song.
i just know it is very, very wrong. if i shopped at the gap (or could wear skinny pants) i [...]

happiness kills poetry

kelly | June 16, 2006

and interesting jobs/lives kill blogs.
you see, the majority of my posts have been composed at work with occasional at-home tweaking. now i have full days with interesting things to do that don’t really necessitate a “my brain will explode if i don’t remove myself from this place for a few minutes” break every few [...]

good sign

when i realized that monday was a holiday i thought, “you mean i don’t get to come back until tuesday?”

feels like a field trip

kelly | May 22, 2006

for reasons not thoroughly articulated until i was walking out the door, day 1 of the new job felt like a field trip. i can’t really even elaborate on what that feels like, just that’s how i felt all day. the reasons, identified at the end of the “trip” are that 1) i [...]
