future = scary.

January 25, 2006

"Note to self: Don’t ever again try to calculate your net worth on one of those online calculator things. It’s just too, too depressing and scary. How can 2 people with college educations and great jobs and who work CONSTANTLY it seems, have close to a negative net worth? How is that possible? What are we [...]"

true story

January 24, 2006

"I am so fed up with work right now, for numerous reasons. Then I got this in my inbox and it made me smile. THE PLAN In the beginning there was the plan. And then came the assumptions. And the assumptions were without form. And the plan was without substance. And darkness was upon the face of the workers. And [...]"

I bleed Black and Gold

"Here we go Steelers, Here we go!!!! Super Bowl, baby. Here we come! PS- Perhaps I’ll have a substantial post in a few days… right now I’m wrapped up in the Steeler victory, re-tiling our bathroom floor, and getting some new jobs rolling. Life is full and good. PSS- Oh, and on Friday, we were out to dinner [...]"

addicted in no time

"I have discovered something not unlike crack for me. NetFlix. Why oh why have I waited so long to sign up? $10 a month and I can get any DVD I want, and keep it however long it takes me to get around to watching it? AND I don’t have to go to the stupid [...]"

this is why we love the game

"Dear Steelers, Well, I think the collective blood pressure of the city of Pittsburgh went through the roof this afternoon. Seriously, guys. You can’t keep doing this to us. To me. I can’t take it! Having the shakes from adrenaline for 30 minutes after the game is over… that’s just so not cool. Going from ‘Yeah we [...]"

the fact that I was able to guess is scary

"Email correspondence between Dan and me this morning: Dan: Ahhhhhh… Jen: aaaahhhhh… what? Dan: Guess Jen: I have no idea… did you fart? Dan: Nope… Jen: then I don’t know… did you poop? Dan: B I N G O Jen: I hate you. More posts like this: countdown to Sunday February 2, 2006 why do I take this abuse? February 9, 2006 arrivederci! May 12, 2006 boo! October [...]"

at least we’re not grunting

January 12, 2006

"Dan and I tend to have our own language when we talk to each other. It consists mostly of calling each other ‘Turd Stain’ or ‘Turd Burglar’ or ‘Newman’ (as in Jerry’s nemesis on Seinfeld) or sometimes lately ‘Turd Bucket’ (sensing a theme here?) (We also call the cats these lovely names, and they respond [...]"

nerd-fest

"Dan and I played this game together tonight. I’m not sure what was more dorky: the fact that we played an RPG together, or the fact that we got such joy out of stealing gold treasure chests from each other. I think we need to get out more.

not much to say, but it’s really long anyway.

January 05, 2006

"I don’t really have anything to say, but I felt I should post. I don’t know why I ‘feel’ like I should post sometimes.. like it’s a job or an obligation or something. But, I do. Sooo… what to talk about? I’ve had a bit of a break in my freelance projects because of the holidays, [...]"

digital camera

January 02, 2006

"If anyone is interested, I’ve listed my old digital camera on eBay. Or if you know anyone who might be :) We’re starting some major cleaning out of crap from our house, hence the sale. I may have some more things soon, too. It’s amazing what 2 people can accumulate over a few years…. More posts like [...]"
