Epic Proportions

Posted on March 30, 2008 by Meredith

Today is what we call a clusterfuck of epic proportions. (Firefox’s spell checker has flagged clusterfuck, but I don’t care.) This weekend we were helping a friend move down from New York to DC. To live in our house, actually, until he finds a place of his own. Which I’m not happy about, but at … Continue reading »

9/11 Obsession

Posted on October 9, 2007 by Meredith

Can we please stop fighting over the 9/11 stuff now? Specifically I’m talking about the conspiracy theories. Through random surfing, I found my way to another one of those sites that is full of hue and cry about buildings being brought down deliberately, whether the hole in the Pentagon could have been made by a … Continue reading »

18 Hours, Pt. 3: Cars

Posted on November 20, 2006 by Meredith

I got home about 1:00am and found that :MK: – my wife’s sister, who lives with us, in case you haven’t heard me mention that a million times before – had parked down the driveway. Now, normally :A: and I park down the driveway, and MK&R park on the street. During splatter-berry season, they park … Continue reading »

Temperature Video Offensive

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Meredith

Am I the only one who finds Sean Paul’s “Temperature” video offensive? It’s not the bouncing boobs, it’s not the freak dancing, it’s not even the dancing kiddies (much) – it’s the stepping on women. Literally. I don’t consider myself extremely feminist, but this video is the most sexist thing I’ve seen on TV. There … Continue reading »

Free upgrade resulted in fees

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Meredith

I just sent the following to PayPal, using up all but a few of my alloted 1000 characters. I am a longtime PayPal member since its early days. I seem to remember that when tiered accounts were introduced I was upgraded to a Premier account for free – this was probably a few years ago. … Continue reading »

Pharmacy Debacle

Posted on January 17, 2006 by Meredith

I get my medications – there are a lot of them – by mail-order pharmacy. At the beginning of the year, my insurance company switched from using Express Scripts for that service to using Medco Health. All of my prescriptions transferred properly, except one: fexofenadine, the generic for Allegra. Due to complete incompetence on the … Continue reading »

I’m Annoyed

Posted on October 22, 2005 by Meredith

Well, I’m annoyed. We had brought a shopping bag from Lord and Taylor in the trunk of the car. In the bag was a wrapped present and two bottles of meds, and a giant koosh ball we bought today. And when a certain guy who lives with us went to the car to bring in … Continue reading »

Makeup Explosion

Posted on August 29, 2005 by Meredith

Okay, now I remember why I hate makeup. I have never been a habitual makeup wearer, but lately I figured I’d try to look a little more adult and wear some lipstick and so forth. In my purse I have a few different lipsticks, two concealer sticks, and some various eye stuff as well as … Continue reading »

Annoyances

Posted on August 3, 2005 by Meredith

Some things that have been annoying me in the past day – :A:’s MP3 player, which we bought in early April, has apparently died. It gives an error about the hard disk and refuses to start. When I plug it into the computer, XP knows it’s found a new disk drive but then doesn’t display … Continue reading »
