i put a spell on you

damn dubaiians!

more on that in a sec...

i am currently back in sac. sac-ra-men-to, californ-i-ay, that is. i arrived sunday night for a 2 month working stint. this is pretty much exactly the same job i had in columbus, so that's cool. i still haven't written about my last few weeks in columbus, which were bizarrely awesome. and the holidays at home in fargo for two weeks were pretty great, too. and now its already a new year! zaz! or not...? who knows? a lot of things to come so keep checking back.

until then - damn dubaiians! i'm upset with them for taking something very precious from me. granted, i didn't even know i had it, or north dakota had it, but now that i do know, i'm down right P-Oed! imagine my surprise today at work with my headphones on (to block out the sound of some guy clipping his nail at work - i tell you people, it is just WRONG to cut your nails at work) and i hear last night's podcast and this is the story that is on:

can you believe it?? they're trying so hard to be us north dakotans! they could just MOVE there instead of building something else. ha ha. i just thought of a bunch of people from the desert moving to one of the coldest places in the US. ha ha. but back to being upset - what do you think of this story??

vanilla kit kat

happy new year everyone!

hope it has all been fruitful... or... vanillaful...

here is a preventative kit kat post for you... more to come. i promise.

dream apartment - 9

i have often documented my love of staircases. and my dear friend, [dave], sent me a link to totally awesome staircases that are really scary at the same time (something titled like: 12 staircases that may kill you). here is one of my favorites, but if you're bored, check out this link for some other really cool ones... (i dont think this one will kill you and if you fall - you're in luck, you can just pick up a book and start reading until someone comes to help you.)

which one is your favorite? (or the most scary?)

from now on our troubles will be far away...

i know, i know... i have been notably absent the past few weeks. its been CRAZY. and now that i'm home in fargo, i just feel lackadaisical. i'd write more right now but i feel a little stressed because i lost my license when coming home last week and i realized that i need a license in less than two weeks when i get to california for work. so i am about to spend the next few hours searching for my license and then if i can't find it, i have to go brave the dmv and beg and plead for them to give me a license without taking a test (i still have a CA ID - never did get a new one and now i need a new one. bleh. i hate it when i am stupid like that).

until then, take a look at my brother, homie's, best friend's mom's apartment...

left in the wrong world part 24

this is my last monday in columbus. and i think i might actually be a little sad leaving here. most notably, i'll miss comments like this:

“liberals are fucking crazy – they’ll come up to your car and punch your window in! so I don’t dare put any bumper stickers on my car.”

i'm growing older but not up

happy monday, folks! i was super-lazy last night and completely forgot about doing anything online (including my madtasty kitkat post - crap!) or updating this site or ... just anything in general. darn food network sunday night - glued me to the couch!

and i think i'm getting sick so i'm on airborne today. maybe i'll have to stay home later this week and then i can get caught up on some writing...

until then... so i don't procrastinate any further, i need your help...
do you think i should get the blackberry 9700 or the g1 phone? please let me know your thoughts. i am going to be placing an order for a new phone today or tomorrow...

until i get kit kat up and running again, please check out the food stuff post i was able to get up - on how to segment an orange.

dream apartment - 8

i love baths. and bathing. and soaking. and pampering. and being clean. and all that is a bathtub. so when i saw this on post about bathroom sanctuaries on apartment therapy, i almost couldn't decide which bathroom to choose. and how could i not have posted about a bathroom before?? its important to have a nice one to make one feel at home. in the end, this is the one i picked, but which one do you prefer?

dream apartment - 7

i love staircases. love love love love them. when i drive by a house with awesome stairs, i stare at it. ha. get it? stare at stairs. i'm so witty. anyway, as soon as i saw these stairs i realized i have to have them. preferably covered by piano keys.


you can check out other cool built-ins at apartment therapy. what do you think?
