  • (Important Update Below) So, nobody in our dept. had fulfilled their duty of cleaning out the fridge in the breakroom for all of 2005 (and possibly 2004). I took it upon myself to clean it out for Sept., since I …

  • Steve brought me flowers yesterday. (Oh, he totally had a reason. He lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrves me.) (Fall bouquet...red/orange/yellow flowers {carnations, freesia, lilies} w/ wheat thrown in.)

  • Anyone want to write a book? I know Nanowrimo is coming up soon, but I want to start before then. If you were to write something, how would you start? Do you have a method? Do you just start typing all crazy 'n' shit…

  • My computer announces the hour in this robot voice. I like it, I set it up to do that...but sometimes (like just now) it scares the hell out of me.

  • I had a dream that Steve was making a book of photos for me. I don't know if they were his photos or someone else's, but one by Julius Friedman was on the cover. It was a black & white of the famous Louisville B…

  • Confidential to Lenore: If you are worried about being made fun of by Trekkies, you've got bigger problems than spelling. Spelling ain't nuthin' but a number! Love, Spock-lovin' Les

  • For the record, I LadyJ26 & chairman_mau. I also heart drowning_not_waving, wherever she may be.

  • Yes, all soft drinks are "coke." Deal with it, people! Ah, what else is new? Today is a day, alright. Ever feel like skipping out from work, taking the day off in the park, while simultaneously wanting…

  • Once again, found on TidBitz's site: “It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect swe…

  • Also, the latest Pottercast has an interview w/ Harry & the Potters, and their new song about Jenny.

  • This weekend I watched two movies that were by the same director, unbeknownst to me (until I saw the logo at the beginning of the second one).The first one, which I saw last weekend, too, was better than I thought it wou…

  • Tonight Sam and Seamus sang a duet to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in the car on the way home, and it was the best thing I've ever heard in my life. Pretty soon, the energy is going to explode and I am going to sta…

  • Also, Murphy's Camera is now officially on board w/ the Mardi Gras photo fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina. Two corporate sponsorships down, one to go...

  • My dawg J-tastic Pimpalicious has posted three parts of a rough draft of a veeeeeeeeery interesting story. Check it.

  • How often do you truly feel hatred, and who is it directed at? Do you have the courage to be honest in your answer? I'm going to put up a poll so you can hide behind anonymity. I want to know the truth. H…

  • "Tired" doesn't begin to describe it.

  • Well, they don't keep score, so the coach wouldn't confirm or deny, but we either tied or won the other team this morning. Sam got huge propahs for stopping the ball outside the goal during his stint as goalie. Toda…

  • Last night we went to the zoo to watch a movie. That was a pretty cool concept, even if we didn't last the whole way through it. They do them a lot, but this year we were busy, or too pregnant, or whatever, so this …

  • Did you catch Harry & the Potters on MTV? Read this! I don't know when they were on. I was told they were on MTV News.

  • I feel like I have this mega-post going on in my head about government, tragedies, trust, humanity, grace...and I've got total blogstipation. Until I get done w/ my dizzying crusade through 2004 and up to date, I don…

  • I am eleven and a half weeks post-partum, and feeling every bit of it. To answer middleageguy: click here for a good simulation of where my moods are going every day.

  • I wrote this for something else, so now I'm gonna share it w/ yous guys. Sending your Food Allergic Child to Preschool You Can Do It! A lot of kids with food allergies have parents that suffer, as well. Suf…

  • Emergency mid-week podcast

  • I really miss being able to do whatever I want to do, whenever I feel like doing it. On the other hand, I don't miss being poor. On the other other hand, I'm not exactly rolling in it right now. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$…

  • First, read this. Click "enlarge" on the photo of Mick. Now, listen to their song in which he explains "once upon a time I was your little rooster, now I'm only one of your cocks." If that doesn't give you…

  • I want to sleep as long as I feel like sleeping, get up and get dressed in what I feel like wearing, and then spend the day doing something I feel like doing. This morning I'm wearing an Old Navy tee shirt from the …

  • I have a confession to make. With the exception of "Love Shack," I hate the B-52s. Yes, the pretty lady w/ the red hair has a beautiful voice, but their music sucks. Sorry.

  • Quack! I miss writing.

  • My latest guilty pleasure is entering internet sweepstakes. Sure, go ahead, laugh. But we'll see who's laughing when I return from my free vaction to my made-over kitchen, wearing my new wardrobe, and watching my…

  • Visit iGod (thanks, Yote) Me: Hi, GodGod: Hello there. What is your name?Me: LesleaGod: How are you doing, Leslea.Me: Not bad. Crummy punctuation, there, God.God: Thanks for the kind remark, Leslea. Tell me a story…

  • If you liked Duran Duran back in the 80s (or still do, like me), you might like this Louisville band, who I was pleased to hear on NPR's Sounds Eclectic this morning. Didn't realize they'd made national or international…

  • Guys & Dolls, I am so behind in reading subs, I am just going to give up. Usually I can at least say I'm reading along, even though I don't usually comment--and that is true. That would be a lie right now, th…

  • You guys are awesome. Seriously, I mean it. Thank you. Hey, did you hear about that little boy who was separated from his dog Snowball during the evacuation? I was sick about it all morning. I kept thinking--f…

  • Oh my god! I'm wearing size 12 jeans to work today! Thank you, Jesus!!! I might have to go out and buy new clothes if I keep getting into shape. The first set of new clothes I need to buy is a dobok, but I tota…

  • Workers are saying "no" to FEMA because they are being told to cover their own expenses and work 12-hour shifts for a month. This is according to FederalNewsRadio.com. It's a newscast aimed at federal employees. …

  • Thanks to Tom for the profile pic! So...I had two blogs in mind yesterday: one about toys (thanks for all the answers! Y'all are playful! And I'm shocked more of you didn't give me filthy dirty answers.), and the …

  • What's your favorite toy?

  • Vertigo Is it possible that too much rapid-fire review of one's own introspection will bring on a hellacious case of vertigo? I'm into May 2004 of my review, I think. I've been feeling dizzy in general, not to mention…

  • Okay. So far today...woke up at 3:30, only got about 20 min. sleep between that at 5:30. Was late going out the door. No breakfast. Car got stuck in park. Forgot breastpump. Steve forgot his jury duty summons for t…

  • As if he weren't already a really loveable guy, Tom Saaristo once posted this, thus ensuring I would love him forever.

  • Shame Last night I was really ashamed of how stupid I sounded, rambling about how NO is destroyed, and I've never been there. Seriously, that shames me. In truth, the thing that upsets me the worst is the fact…

  • Saturday Night Podcast I sound unforgivably stupid & self-centered. Enjoy. Steve's first podcast!!! We're going to look at contact sheets now, for this Katrina Relief project. In other news, please pray fo…

  • Photo Sale Update Well, sorry for the multiple updates over the past two days. I'm going to post links to them in case you are interested in following along w/ where my head has been (in writing, anyway) over the p…

  • Thanks for all the ideas yesterday re: the auction to benefit Katrina's survivors. I will definitely be calling on y'all to help spread the word, and definitely on PunkDiva for help w/ press releases. Thank you!!! …

  • Mardi Gras photo fundraiser idea As some of you might be aware (I hope), my husband is a photographer. Two Mardi Gras in a row, back when he was a spry young collegiate chap, he attended Mardi Gras and photographed…

  • See? This is why I don't do the news, in general. I feel so helpless and out of control and the world is a big, scary place. Get us out of the Persian Gulf and into the Mexican Gulf! There is a new War on Terror, a…

  • Okay, okay, here's a thought. If the powers that be could mobilize to pass legislation allowing the federal intervention into cases like Terri Schiavo's, in which there was a divide down the party line, why can't they m…

  • Why did I listen to the news on the way into work? Also, WHO THE HELL CARES about football and TV and weight loss and anything else when dead bodies are piling up in the aftermath of Katrina? People are dying who survi…

  • If I Had No Loot Here's the thing about being "over" possessions...it puts you in a different box somewhat from those around you. Whereas, at one point, your dream was to grow up and one day have a fine home in a…

  • I remember when I was in the seventh grade, how I did a report for the class on Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Mr. Hawn, my Advanced Science teacher, told me only a few people in the world understood the theory. I…
