I’ve had my license for five years now and have driven various stretches of the NYS thruway countless times. Yet I have still not figured out the easiest way to gather the appropriate amount of money to pay the toll when I get off. Right now, I always drive the same stretch of the thruway [...]

Last night I returned to my apartment after hanging out with friends all day. I grabbed something to eat and settled in to watch an episode of Grey’s Anatomy on my laptop. Then I noticed that my Wi-Fi network was not there. One glance at the router and the modem and I saw that there [...]

I have been contemplating a new camera for quite some time since my Kodak does not take good pictures and I’ve had it for five years. I kept putting it off since it’s not really a necessity and things like food and books are. However this past summer I somehow managed to lose the Kodak [...]

“Do you want your meat in a separate bag?” “That’s not meat; it’s fish.” “Ok…do you want it in a separate bag?” “Yes, of course.” I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve had this conversation, or a similar one, with customers.

It’s a tradition every year that my mom make eggnog cookies on the day we get our Christmas tree. 2010 was no different. My mom made cookies, we decorated the tree, and the remaining cookies were put in the basement to protect them from Benny. The following morning my mom got up and threw a [...]

Ever since LeakyCon I’ve been fascinated by Youtube and how people use it to keep in touch with each other.

Would it be cheating to allow myself a few skip days in Blog 365? Last night whilst watching Grey’s Anatomy I was thinking about what to blog about and then by the time the episode was over I had completely forgotten about it. Then I went to bed without blogging and didn’t remember until this [...]
