Last minute details . . .

I've been scurrying around all day with a list in hand, checking off last minute items I need before I depart for the Philippines Thursday morning. Whew. And, of course, I've begun another list this evening for the super last minute details such as: bank, plug adapters, international phone cards, cameras, and mosquito spray. So, if all goes well, I should find some time every few days to file a report from the RP. Stay tuned to the blog . . .

Happy New Year!

You Call This An Apology?

The View should be yanked from the air. How much stupidity can be packed into one idiotic show? This entire so-called apology is a train wreck.

help! my blog is gasping for life!

for someone that once found blogging to be the most exciting thing since sliced bread, i now find myself veering ever closer to hitting the "delete blog" button. originally, i had illusions of grandeur and wanted to form a group blog with some other smart people i knew. of course, the aforementioned smart people are often prone to debilitating bouts of procrastination, thus resulting in yet another imcomplete project. a pipe dream you might say. nonetheless, over a year ago, i decided to form my own blog and see what happened. well, it ended up being a personal diary of sorts. a journal of every mundane, boring ass thing that has ever happened to me while residing in the middle of ny state. and, trust me, my geographical location has never fallen short of providing me loads of boring material to blog about. for example, "today, another leaf fell from the tree." or, "there are tiny strawberries growing in the yard". let's not forget that where i reside, we don't even have a local paper to make fun of . . . just a weekly piece of local gossip that costs a buck and takes 30 seconds to peruse while cruising the local grocery store (which just returned this summer).

ah. i've also spent countless entries blogging about the hound dog we acquired (to stave off further boredom) in march -- complete with pics. to update: the old hound ended up in the hospital recently for chewing/ingesting stuffing from his favorite toy. he's ok now, but toyless. see what i mean? the fun never ceases around these parts.

i depart on an international journey in 9 days. perhaps i'll find the time to blog from there . . . if not, maybe my travel adventures will give me some more material for this here journal of mine.

we can only hope.
