OMG: iPhone!

I have an iPhone! I have an iPhone! It is so ridiculously amazing and I can’t stop playing with it. OMG it’s so awesome. OMG!
Expect to see me take a few-days hiatus from blogging to play with my baby. She’s been christened Aphrodite, to complement Aurora (my PowerBook), Jupiter (my internal hard drive), Apollo, Zeus, [...]

My day in 300 words or less

I traveled at a breakneck pace on the highway, only to have a ridiculously busy (and sweaty) day at work. I realized just how much I cannot tolerate incompetence, especially among people who are supposed to be “superior” to you because of age, or experience, or seniority.
I learned that helpful, personalized attention provided to guests [...]

The sweetest Scrabble arrangement ever

How appropriate. “Jelqs” and “extends” sitting side-by-side on the Scrabble board. This photo came off my cell phone; I just transfered it to my computer via Bluetooth. The picture was taken on August 25, 2006. Wow, to think, that was almost a year ago!
I think the game was between Josh, Yvonne, and I, and we [...]

Please update your bookmarks

Soon, I’m going to eliminate the address www.blog.anothersunnyday.com and move exclusively to anothersunnyday.com. That’s right, Another Sunny Day will have a simpler, shorter, and prettier home on the Internet. And you’ll spare yourself the agony of typing three W’s, two periods, and the word “blog”.
Once things are in place, if you go to the old [...]

My day in 500 words or less

I’m working 50 hours this week. Due to this, I am unable to have a social life outside of work. That makes me sad.
Today, I went above and beyond the expectations of my job to take care of a guest. It involved multiple contact with managers, conference calls with national account executives, and a laser [...]

Proof that The Starting Line will never change

Catchy. Addictive. Overly pop-ified. It’s the new single by The Starting Line, called “Island (Float Away)”. And it’s pretty damn good.
Let’s sail away, find our own country
We’ll build a house and beds out of palm trees
Let’s get away, let’s push our lives aside
I’ll sport a smile, take in some color
Under the stars I’ll be your [...]

One last entry for the night, followed by bed

My left hand has been having some problems lately. My pinky finger has been going totally numb, randomly, and I can’t figure out what causes it. Sometimes my ring finger goes numb along with it. I woke up the other night after falling asleep in my clothes on top of the bed, and tried to [...]

Poems from a late-night street encounter

I was waiting for the valet to bring my car tonight after closing up the store and a man came up to me with a bunch of flyers. “If you ever have any problems with a lady,” he told me, “read her this poem,” he said as he put a wrinkled sheet of white paper [...]

Adventures on the streets of Abington

The semi-regular jogging I’ve taken up lately has started to pay off. I’m feeling more energetic, the distance is already noticeably easier after only a few runs, and my legs are holding up better than expected. I’ve lost maybe a pound, and I think I’m looking a little better than I was just a week [...]

More griping about the rising cost of college

So, as I wrote in a previous entry, the total cost of attending Wesleyan for 2007-08 is figured at $50,728. I didn’t even have to look at the post again to write that; the number’s already burned into my brain after only one day. That’s a ridiculously large amount of money. Thankfully, financial aid covers [...]
