Ball of Confusion

This morning, I was reading one of my favorite blogs, and enjoying a tale of bureaucracy run amok (complete with dramatizations). In the entry, the author, named Rebecca, revealed that she frequently gets called Rachel. Of course, her sister is named Rachel, so that may explain some of that confusion.

However, I’m a Rachel. There have been many Rebeccas in my life, and not one has been my sister. However, in every class (and there have been MANY), job, and a number of social situations in my nearly 30 years on this planet, I’ve been mistakenly called Rebecca. Could it just be that most people only have enough room in their brains for one Hebrew girl’s name that starts with R?

There isn’t really a point to this post, just something I felt the need to ramble about for a few minutes while trying to remember the post I was writing in my head last night in bed. Laid up with one hell of a migraine, sleep was intermittent, punctuated by wishes (I kept waking up at 11 after the hour, and I figured it can’t just work on the hours of 11), freaky David Bowie dreams, and brief flashes of creativity. Maybe I should use air quotes around that word, since I’m not so sure how creative it is to post links to pictures of three recent crushes on dudes in some form of the public eye and be all “chicken or the egg” about them. Not very, I think.

Now that I’m (mostly) awake, maybe I’ll figure out some way to make that post interesting. Expect references to the TV show Fame. And possibly Scotch.

  • Wimbledon finals are so much less fun without Pete Sampras. Yes, I just used "fun" and "Sampras" in the same sentence, without irony. #
  • A little nervous about the coming week at work. Shit is about to get real. In other news, _Sit, Ubu Sit_ is a great memoir. #
  • Do I have it in me to bake chocolate chip cookies tonight? Alas, I fear I do not. #

…to that same old place that you laughed about

So, I’m giving blogging another go. Things are about to get interesting (FINALLY), I find a lot of crap on the internet that I want to share somewhere other than Twitter, and more.

Coming up soon:
Suburban Observations
The wonder of a perfect pop song
The craftsmanship of The Wire

And more. Once I figure out what that might be. Y’all come back now, y’hear?

Got the Tin Man beat

Turns out, I do have a heart. And right now, it appears NOT to have a hole in it.

My heart!

Of course, that’s another prospective migraine cause that goes down the drain.

Bah!

I’ve been felled by yet another migraine, and when I’m not whining about the pain, I’m busy packing. Go on with out me!

Or, at the very least, enjoy this installment of Drunk History.

Hello, it’s me

After a loooong hiatus, I finally figured out a way to have both my portfolio and my blog on the same site. Granted, I didn’t actually think about it in any detail till this morning. But, here we are. Goals for this time around: better and more frequent content and way more fun.

While I’m off trying to get things to work and creating little bits and bobs, please enjoy this mother of all Independence Day TV clips — the parade scene from the final episode of The Wonder Years. You might want to grab a Kleenex.
