Working in the media world, every day I hear about more and more layoffs within the industry. The industry newsletters are filled with the news; to the degree that they don’t even name names about who is leaving, they just announce numbers.
In one of today’s newsletters, there was an article from Page 6, about Lydia [...]

“”Don’t even go there. I am an expert on Vampires. I have seen every episode of Bufft [sic] and Angel, Read the Twilight series countless times, and am some what a fan of Anne Rice. Now, if you still think it is relevent, please continue. ”
— Emily Mensing
So, I found this quote today when I [...]

When I grow up…

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what I wanted to be when I grew up. Things that I remember telling people:

A corporate lawyer (yes, even at 9 I wanted to be a corporate lawyer, not just a lawyer)
President of the United States (at 10, I was securing votes from my mom’s college professors)
A librarian [...]

Laughter is an interesting thing. Some laughs bring a smile to your face when you hear them. Others are like nails grating on a chalkboard. Typically, I find that when I’m in a good mood, virtually every laugh can bring a smile to my face as well. Tonight when I was at Barnes & Noble, [...]

Last night, my friend Fan (name changed to protect the semi-innocent… yeah, right) and I went down to Comedy Works in Denver. For those of you who don’t know what Comedy Works is – well, its exactly what it sounds like it is: a nice little semi-dive comedy club in LoDo. We decided that before [...]

The Power of the Blogosphere

So, as you may have noticed, I moved my blog away from using my real name as my domain name, instead posting it at the semi-neutral, semi-anonymous url of “Trashflower.com” I’m not doing this out of fear, because I know better than to post anything online that I’m not wiling to stand behind and live [...]

I have to say, its quite a shock to the old system, to be working at 5:50 am when I’m actually at home. When I’m on the road, this is pretty normal, because I travel mostly to East Coast time. Waking up 2 hours early is torture!
Last night SP decided that he wanted to start [...]

Hello from my new laptop! On Saturday, after a few days in Cincinnati, I came home and tried to turn on my personal computer. It wouldn’t turn on. “Ah, crap,” I thought… “I knew this was going to happen.” So, I spent most of the day shopping for a new laptop. I’m rather pleased with [...]
