isn't it ironic ... don't ya think.

I just noticed something: my landmark 100th blog post was on the subject of my possible carpal tunnel. Very fitting considering it's probably those 100 posts that have been the cause of it all. Yup, just like ten thousands spoons when all you need is a knife.

Are we certain this isn't just some sort of "Prison Break" promo for the upcoming season premiere? The news reported that officers are investigating the possibility of the inmates having some help on the inside. I suggest they take a closer look at the female prison doc and look for clues disguised as origami.

just say NO to syndromes.

I fear I may be headed down this road:

PLAN: Sleep wearing the stupid wrist brace that annoys me all night. Oh, and never type on a keyboard or use a mouse again ... NOT. I'm certain I couldn't survive such a horror.

If badminton can be passed off as an Olympic sport, I'd like to officially nominate Chess-Boxing for the London 2012 games.


I promise it's real - read the Time magazine article on it. Competitors alternate in the ring between three-minute boxing rounds and four-minute rounds of speed chess. Between rounds, competitors only get a one-minute break to take off and put on gloves, and to ponder strategies with coaches. Ultimately, a winner is determined by knockout, checkmate, or referee decision.
Vanessa? Interested? You're the trifecta of brains, beauty, and strength. You'd be a shoo-in for the gold.

At work we sometimes get free movie screening passes. This time we received quite a few and ended up having extras. They're for a movie called The Rocker which comes out August 20th. Starring our beloved Dwight. I heard them giving away passes on the radio so I assume it's a shared screening with one of the stations.

They're for the 7:00 p.m. showing on Monday, August 18th at Gateway. I have six passes left. If you're interested, please comment, call, or email. Otherwise they'll be thrown away. Shame.

Me .... circa 1982! Clearly "hat hair" really works for me.

This website has made me laugh all afternoon. Especially after giving Beau a 90's mullet and a turtleneck.

Utah sure does make for a stunning sunset.

Good month! The birthday was great and only strengthened my "19 is the luckiest number" resolve. Here are some highlights while I've been on my sucky blogger hiatus the last couple of weeks - color coded for your convenience :)

And as for my "something" from The Something Store - a Crack-A-Head. Instructions: "hit me, water me, make me grow." I haven't killed it yet! Then and now:
