The Metamorph The Metamorph Personal diary in which I discuss life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and Harry Potter. Am all too frequently finding myself in the midst of making life altering decisions these days, let's see how wonderfully I can muck it all up.

Okay, Internet, YOU decide:
2008-03-17 13:08:00 Is that the last word from a revenge-minded ex-girlfriend, or a confession/warning from someone completely self aware? (And since I’m well aware the camera on my phone takes craptacular pics, that is a Volkswagon Passat, missing the ‘P’ and the last ‘A’ and ‘T’.) ©2008 The Metamorph. All Rights Reserved..

Business Blogging Tip #1
2008-03-15 16:04:00 Make sure your site has a functioning layout (in more than ONE browser, since the majority of the Internet still use IE) and that it’s easy to find the blog’s main content: the POSTS. This is a tip I discovered myself when clicking on a blog post title in the Good Blogs Widget in my sidebar, and coming upon ... More About: Business , Blogging
Realized
2008-03-14 15:00:00 In creating my Bucket Lists , I’ve come to the conclusion that I should probably be a Professional Traveler when I grow up. Whether that career path occurs before or after my stint as a Professional Hermit remains to be seen. ©2008 The Metamorph. All Rights Reserved.. More About: Random
Bucket List, Part II
2008-03-13 15:07:00 Part one found here. One moment it’s difficult to come up with anything else, the next minute I’m like a greedy kid making out her Christmas List . New Year’s Eve in Times Square Attend a Film Festival Skydive Visit New Orleans See another play on Broadway Start a blog about redoing my house Perhaps one about jewelry, too Take a panoramic photo of NYC from the top of the Empire State Building Take a ship from the United States to Europe, instead of a plane Make a scrapbook or ten, can be digital and printed out using something like QOOP Read all these books I have about Scottish History and Mythology, then find and read more Live at the beach - one NOT prone to hurricanes or tsunamis Rockefeller Center when the Christmas Lights get turned on Photograph the Acropolis silhouetted against a full moon Tour a pyramid Stay in a B&B and experience Autumn in New England Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC (I could have crossed this off my list ages ago if I&rs...

2008-03-10 14:25:00 Q: What do you call a vegetarian with diarrhea? A: A salad shooter! It’s not so much the joke itself that I find amusing as it is the cartoonish mental image that it conjures up of a person bent over, looking worriedly over their shoulder while sliced cucumbers and carrots fly out of their butt. ©2008 The Metamorph.

My Bucket List
2008-03-08 02:49:00 Inspired by Maggie, but goal-centric list-making seems to be sweeping the blogiverse in general lately. Don’t know how many items will make it onto this list, but we’ll see how it goes. In no particular order: Make a tasty pot of chili not involving a premade seasoning packet. Sit on that Japanese Bridge and dangle my feet over ... More About: Lists , List
Justified
2008-03-05 17:22:00 Because it was on sale. Because my dad gave me a gift card at Christmas and I hadn’t used it, yet. Because those two items together made it affordable. Because although it is neither red nor plaid, it is still extremely likeable. Because it was the only likeable item of its kind in the store, in fact. Because I have been ...

Well, it?s about bloody time!
2008-03-04 21:59:00 Dude, it’s March, y’all. March 4th, to be precise. I just might have been hurrying things along when, on February 27th, I asked a co-worker, “What’s today, March third?” That was wishful thinking on my part, because if it were March 3rd, I woud have been on vacation, lying in bed and reading a book.

Oh, hi! The Excedrin, it beckons.
2008-02-25 20:47:00 So, I don’t know, maybe you’ve noticed, posting has been a little light lately. I feel like there’s nothing to really write about, but that could be because I’m tired…or maybe because life these days is just work, complain about how sore and tired I am and how much my job sucks, pop some excedrin, ...

2008-02-19 22:39:00 BlogHer ‘08 is in San Francisco this year. Suh-WEET. I really would like to go to one of these conferences, despite some of the epic Bitchfests that have occurred post-conference in the past. (Is it just me or is the last part of that sentence awkwardly constructed?) Anyway, I’d like to meet some of the people ... More About: Travel , Blogging
And without even trying to
2008-02-15 18:40:00 So here’s the thing about Valentine’s Day - I worked a double yesterday so I was out ALL day and didn’t get home until after everyone was in bed and sleeping. But when I got up yesterday morning, I found a box of Pocky and a card El Boyfriend left at my place on the kitchen ... More About: Holidays , Cohabitation
Because I am last at everything
2008-02-14 03:12:00 I just finished reading “The Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd. This is one book that will stay in the top drawer of my nightstand because I will be reading it again and again. I’d get an “F” for that book report, were I in school, but that’s really the highest recommendation I can ...
Dear Mother Nature,
2008-02-11 18:23:00 You know, I completely get it. I understand that you are who you are you need to do your thing and all that, so I’m not complaining that it’s bloody FREEZING outside, that there appears to be a treacherous sheet of ice on my deck, and that I’m hearing very distinct and increasingly frequent rumbles of ...

Bullet Points: The ?Store Your Nuts ELSEWHERE, Dammit? Edition
2008-02-08 19:10:00 I’ve had an itchy tickle at the top of my throat off and on for the past few days. Now it’s constant and has spread down to my chest. Lovely. I’ve had an email from my son’s English teacher. Missing assignments, currently has a ‘C’ in the class, too busy trying to be class clown to ... More About: Random , Store , Bullet , Points , Nuts

2008-02-06 19:48:00 Sweet Jiminy Hayzeus, my back is SORE and I’ve got more snap, crackle, and pop going on in various places in my body than you’d get from a lifetime supply of Rice Krispies. We need a new bed. ©2008 The Metamorph. All Rights Reserved.. More About: Rant
On recent music
2008-02-05 06:04:00 “No One” by Alicia Keys - Am I the only person who doesn’t like this song? It’s wrong to say that the girl can’t sing, but she really sounds like she’s straining on this song and it’s uncomfortable to listen to. “Tattoo” by Jordin Sparks - I stopped watching American Idol after the second season, so ...

If I could read minds I wouldn?t be a waitress, STUPID
2008-01-29 07:45:00 I admit to recently having somewhat convinced myself that waiting tables isn’t that bad of a job, so maybe I left myself wide open for the recent deluge of total asshats who have been going out to eat lately. Sundays are miserable in general because people go out to eat straight after church, and I guess ... More About: Rant , Stupid , Read , Minds , Waiter
And they LIKE IT
2008-01-25 21:29:00 People who do not tip waitstaff for perfectly good service suck great big sweaty donkey balls. And they eat donkey poop and they lick poopy donkey buttholes. The End.

Atonement
2008-01-24 00:18:00 I went to the movies today all by lonesome, something which I am not the only woman to do, I’ll have you know. The only people who were in the theater with me watching “Atonement ” today were women who went to the movies by themselves. “Atonement” is a romance, so I figured I could put ...
Somewhat detwitterized
2008-01-23 19:04:00 So after yesterday’s discussion and some thought, I have moved the Twitter updates to my sidebar. They really were taking over my blog. Now it’s noon on my one day off this week - well, except for yesterday, but that was unscheduled and due to an icy, uphill driveway - and I’ve no plans. It seems kind ...

All atwitter these days
2008-01-22 17:58:00 I’ve divided recent days into two categories: Twitter-update-worthy and Blog-update-worthy. Hi, I’m a nerd! Let me show you my nerdiness! I know, right? So lately my days have fallen into the Twitter-update-worthy category, even as I debate whether to remain on Twitter.

Giving new meaning to ?talking out your ass?
2008-01-18 23:20:00 Lately I’ve noticed that the pants I wear to work seem to require a little tug here and there - despite the required belt - to keep them up in place, so out of curiosity I tried on a smaller size pair of jeans that had nothing better to do than molder away in my closet.
