This blog, and every blog I’ve ever worked on, is run on WordPress. That said, I like to attend the local DC WordPress meetups when I can. Usually, I learn a nugget here or there for my personal blog. Sometimes I learn enough to be dangerous at work: “Something something widget something something plugin something … Continue reading »
Calgon. Take me away. Please! I’ve officially burnt myself out with far too much fun. All that homebody time must have been cosmic preparation for two weeks of delicious food and drink, amazing time with friends and late night conversations. Yeah, I know. Me and my first world problems. At some point I had to … Continue reading »
Me: *Checks personal email* 140 emails with way too many unread. Me: *Checks work email* 200 emails that all require some sort of response or action. Me: *Goes to get coffee.* That happens to me at least a couple times a week. I check my email or my to-do list and, when faced with a … Continue reading »
I don’t know whether to curse Bob “Rosebud” Butt, or thank him for giving me some of the wildest nights of my life. No, perverts, I don’t mean it that way. Ol’ Rosebud, as it were, invented the Long Island Iced Tea. Back in college, oh dear that was so long ago now, somewhere in my … Continue reading »
I couldn’t be more ready for the weekend. How about you guys? I was sick all last week (hence, no posts, sorry!) and this week, per usual got away from me. I find myself super envious of folks who get to blog all day (on their own blogs, that is) and share beautiful, interesting things. … Continue reading »
After spending most of last week sick on the couch, I was very much looking forward to getting back to work and out into the world. But it’s snowing – glorious, beautiful snow! Not to be deterred, I’ll still get out there, but I wish it was a little more like this. Growing up in … Continue reading »
“The year I turned ninety, I wanted to give myself the gift of a night of wild love with an adolescent virgin.” Oh you read that right! It’s one of the 25 craziest opening lines from awesome books. And just so you know, that’s from Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel García Márquez. It’s a … Continue reading »
You know that song? That song that makes you swing your hips a little extra or makes you walk a little taller, head up high? You probably only listen to it when you’re getting ready to go out on the town. Yeah, we need to fix that. Everyday Is A Hustle The (somewhat sucky) truth … Continue reading »
What a slow, quiet week it’s been! Between our fake snow storm and most of my friends being out of town it’s been mostly crickets, which has left me in a super mellow mood. I’m listening to some Melody Gardot at the coffee shop and nibbling on a sandwich. I networked the shit out of … Continue reading »
In my professional life, everyone’s getting ready for SXSW to start next week. I won’t be going this year, but this graphic from Wired is just freakin’ spot. On. Quotation marks and all. Don’t worry techy/Twitter/bloggy friends – I won’t be muting you from my streams. I’ll just be annoyingly tweeting snark back at you. … Continue reading »
