It’s ALIVE!!!

Monday, September 25th, 2006

Joy of all joys, happiness beyond all belief–no, the kitties haven’t taught themselves to use the toilet–my lost blog entries have been recovered!!! I’ve been searching the past couple days, looking for cached versions of the missing pages, but to no avail. I knew it was hopeless, but I just kept checking, thinking maybe, just maybe, I’d get lucky. Then tonight my hopefulness was rewarded! Finally! I know that in the grand scheme of life losing a couple paragraphs’ worth of personal account of rather uneventful moments in my life is nothing, but it really did bother me. Not only because these entries take quite a lot of time to put together (believe it or not), but because I know that without having something written down it’s as good as forgotten in the years to come. And forgetting moments lived is like the proverbial tree falling in the forest. It’s all well and good if you’ve got someone there to witness your life so you can say a year from now, “Remember that time when I put a gummy bear on the window and it stuck and it looked like it was an evil gummy bear flying in the air all on its own in that picture I took?”, but in times like these when my only roommates are two cats and a gecko, a girl has to make do with what she has so that when I’m seventy I’ll be able to refer back to this and tell my grandchildren all about my exciting life of cat toilet behavior and crappy reality TV.

Death of a blog

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Okay, so my blog isn’t exactly dead, but my two most recent posts are!

This would be repetitive to say had my latest post not been deleted by some prepubescent dirt bag, but…life is so cruel sometimes.

Arr, schwab the decks!

I was informed by Yahoo! this morning that today, September 19, is officially Talk Like a Pirate Day. Has such a cool non-holiday day ever existed? I think not. I have always been fascinated by all things pirate even though ... [Continue reading this entry]

Highfalutin Times

Monday, September 18th, 2006
I sometimes like to consider myself a culturally-inclined person. Of course I go to museums! Doesn’t everybody? Okay, so I only seem to go to museums when I’m traveling and I feel like it’s my moral obligation to do so. ... [Continue reading this entry]

Cha cha…ch..a-d-d

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006
You know, this is the third time I’ve rewritten this entry. I sat down to write some mopey crap to make myself feel better, but I’m just not going to do it. Nuh-uh, not gonna. Because…[Continue reading this entry]
