Goodbye, Sacramento. Hello, Minnesota

      1 Comment on Goodbye, Sacramento. Hello, Minnesota

The past two weeks I have been experiencing a lot of endings. Today I am unemployed. Work is over until I can find a new job or a new job finds me. I’m OK with this because I need a little break. Yes, it’s slightly worrisome, but I have a lot of beginnings to focus on now. Well, I have… Read more »

Mixing it up with some Sacramento Bloggers

You would think that a beer crazy town like Sacramento would have a plethora of German themed bars or beirhalls if you will. As far as I know, LowBrau is the only one. And while I was disappointed that there was no oompa-like polka music to be heard, it paled in comparison to the pleasure I got from the delicious… Read more »

Nail polish: We have a problem.

      No Comments on Nail polish: We have a problem.

Twenty-seven…that’s how many different colors of nail polish I have.  That doesn’t include the base and top coats… The dumb thing is that I don’t wear nail polish all the time.  I will go weeks or months with bare nails.  The pretty colors draw me in and the funny names that OPI creates are a definite selling point:  Kiss Me… Read more »

What’s popular isn’t always good.

I’m not misquoting Howard Cosell.  I’m waxing philosophical.  KCRA is running their local A List popularity contest again.

But, then I thought, “What is a blog?” … Read more »

Yes, I’m a little bit obsessed with this Road Side America site.  But, wouldn’t you be too if you enjoyed quirky, off-beat things?  Well, Sacramento, there are just those things in your own backyard.  Not literally, well, maybe.  I don’t know you, so you might have a giant ball of twine back there trying to be the world’s largest or… Read more »

Party on, Twitter.

      No Comments on Party on, Twitter.

For you old fogies who don’t know, a Twitter party is where a sponsor gathers a bunch of people to talk about their product. Usually there are prizes given away. Once I got a $10 gift card for Subway. Hey, that’s a couple of lunches just for talking on the internet. But wait, aren’t there chats on twitter? Well, my… Read more »

You kids and your video games!

      No Comments on You kids and your video games!

Short of shaking my fist in the air, I am confused by today’s video games. Back in my day, they were simple. Super Mario Brothers was simple. You ran to the right and jumped over (or shot at) whatever got in your way. Tetris, never ended. It just got faster and more anxiety laden. The bricks never stopped! Pac-Man? Just… Read more »
