Stiff neck. Aching lower back. Left hamstring shot. Sharp cramps behind both shoulder blades.
I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN!!!!
An 800 milligram Ibuprofren and a heating pad later … I mentally justified my agony as I stretched this morning.
I AM IN LOVE WITH Wii. AND LOVE, IS SOMETHING UNCONTROLLABLE.

I am sitting here staring at the monitor trying to decide what to blog about … my weekend in Pismo Beach, last-minute Christmas shopping, NFL playoffs, being the only girl at Hooters yesterday not wearing fluorescent orange daisy duke shorts … I can’t focus.
ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS TAMALES.
How can I possibly concentrate [...]

I spent the morning with Jet at KUSF radio and was reminded of the two great loves of my life that I’ve put on the back burner.
Music and San Francisco.
I was feeling a little foggy from last night’s holiday soiree … ouch, did it hurt when the alarm went off. I washed 2 extra [...]

Is it me, or are fast food burger patties shrinking even more?
Is it the economy? Can’t figure out a way to cut costs, so we’ll just cut a fourth of beef off of every hamburger?
Is this what’s happening?
In an effort to not throw one of my favorite fast food joints under the bus, [...]

Remember when Steve Jobs’ obit surfaced on the Internet over the summer?
SHOCK. FEAR. PANIC.
We are back there again, as evidenced by pre-market trading, while rumors swirl about Jobs’ health.
Thanks to Bloomberg we were able to get a glimpse of what a final farewell to Apple’s CEO would look like. Bloomberg [...]

I ate Cocoa Krispies for breakfast this morning and my, how different the world looks!
Why did I ever remove Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, Cap’n Crunch Berries, Honey Smacks, Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Krispies from my diet?
Oh yeah, Dr. Atkins and the American Heart Association got into my head and I started eating fortified [...]

You would think that I cursed an entire race or religion by the 200+ vicious comments left in response to my most recent blog.
I haven’t worked in a restaurant in many moons, but due to the years I spent in the food service industry, I will never forget how it feels to be the server. [...]

WoW!
What can I say?
I have learned so much in the last 24 hours. Top 3 revelations:
1.) The proper acronym for World of Warcraft is WoW not WOW (my bad).
2.) The WoW population and its dialect are WAY more extensive (and twisted) than I could have ever imagined.
3.) My boyfriend’s Ashes of A’lar status is seksi and pwnzor.
I’ve been blogging all of [...]

I beat my alarm this morning. Woke up mid-dream, instantly stressed … tripping out.
My eyes were barely open and I’m thinking about the 93 emails from yesterday that I was unable to get to. I was actually visualizing the number in bold blue font — 93 — while tiny sealed envelope icons floated around like a cheesy screensaver in my [...]
