So this is the New Year

I don’t feel any different. Happy 2010 everyone!

Thirty Things… How did I do?

1. Take a pottery class – No, didn’t quite this one done. The class I tried to register for was full. Probably not the greatest excuse, but I did make an effort. 2. Sew something – Yes! But not much of anything… it was more of a repair. I give myself a B-. 3. Sell [...]

Meet my new best friend

Ok, ok… I’m just kidding. Nothing could ever replace my real best friends. This little guy, however, is the bomb dot com. He’s friendly, fun, and has everything I need. Best of all, he knows all my favorite songs. Perfect, really! That’s right… it’s an iPod Touch! Birthday swag for the WIN! You’d think that [...]

Today…

I can hardly believe it. I survived 30 years.

Guest Post: Do you remember 1999?

*stretches her legs, checks out new surroundings* Well hi guys! As a semi-obsessed, loyal follower of QHip, I have been having nerdgasm after nerdgasm following Deezer’s trip through the past. So when ’99 came up, I just had to chime in. And give our fearless leader a break – she’s a busy girl, ya know? [...]

Do you remember 1998?

Well boys and girls, this is the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The fantabulous 1998. I made my final steps as a Chester High School student, spent my last summer with my friends (some of whom I still haven’t seen since) and made the journey to Missoula. Our fine president, Mr. Clinton, was bumbling [...]

Do you remember 1997?

I was a Junior in High School. President Clinton was beginning his second term in office, the Hale-Bopp comet buzzed by earth (not bearing an alien space ship… unfortunate news for the Heavens Gate folks), Steve Jobs returned to Apple, Tony Blair is appointed to Prime Minister of the UK, and the world loses its [...]

Do you remember 1996?

I was a Sophomore in High School. The days of life being uncomplicated were quickly coming to an end. The first version of the Java programming language was released, Lyle and Erik Menendez were found guilty of murdering their parents, the “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski was arrested in his cabin just outside of Lincoln, Montana, the [...]

Quick Snippets

I just had to share! Patrick Wolf throws like a girl… and that song that is playing right before Mr Wolf makes an asshole out of himself? Awful. Watch this video to hone your drama queen temper tantrum skills. Alec Ounsworth, frontman of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, has come out with another side project, [...]

Do you remember 1995?

I was a Freshman in high school, Kevin Mitnick got busted by the FBI, Oklahoma City suffered a devastating attack against the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building, Microsoft released Windows 95, the DVD format was announced, O.J. Simpson was acquitted, and Yahoo! and eBay were founded. Busy year! I was undoubtedly wearing a scrunchie around [...]
