Maybe Only Funny If You’re a Nerd

Monday, January 31st, 2005

I love this because a) I work for a software company and am a nerd, and b) I *am* wifey 1.0.
Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, [...]

Working Like A Dog

Friday, January 28th, 2005

Today is going to be - in the words of the illustrious Bill and Ted - most heinous dudes. I’ve been wrestling with this help file for 5 days and now the boss wants it signed, sealed and delivered today. To top it off, I’ll be converting what I have into a new program [...]

Beef Bourginon or The Wino-Smelling Apartment

Wednesday, January 26th, 2005

I am a health nut. I do yoga every morning, drink Evian water almost exclusively, and eat only those foods that are most beneficial to me, according to my blood type. I eat very little grain, dairy or sugar because they make me achy. My lifestyle is unorthodox and so are my [...]

Live Strong

Fancy scratching post to keep kitty’s claws off couch: $28

And Just Like That

Wednesday, January 19th, 2005

You know that first day of school? How it always felt a bit disjointed and disorienting? I kind of always felt like, on the first day I was a little bit of an outsider, like a puzzle piece that didn’t quite fit.
Well, starting a new job is bit like that first day of school. You’re [...]

Hot.Fresh.New.

Sunday, January 16th, 2005

What’s hotter than J-Lo’s kathunkadunkdunk? What’s fresher than the freshest athlete’s foot just powdered with Johnson & Johnsons? What’s newer than the iPOD shuffle or news of the ghost whose been arrested for haunting a European castle?
This blog - that’s what. Today, dear hannihaus readers, I am dubbing the 10Cent Sparkler “Hot, Fresh [...]

Ugrowr: The Strangled Turkey Speaks

Friday, January 14th, 2005

After a long days work spent bending my brain with questions of punctuation and prose, I really look forward to coming home to my cozy little one bedroom apartment. It’s humble and cluttered and has a balcony from which I can rest and relax as I watch palm trees and ginkos sway in the [...]

Something Is Rotten in the State of Denmark

Tuesday, January 11th, 2005

Something in my kitchen smells like its curled up and died. The source of this most unpleasant odor seems to be coming from my garbage disposal, the contents of which largely remain a mystery to me.
What oh what could it be?
Perhaps the remnants of last nights Purple Monstrosity smoothie? The soy milk, while [...]

She’s Aliiiive!

Monday, January 10th, 2005

Oh vei! How bad am I for putting off blogging? I’ve got so many fantastic stories that never made it to this haus. I’ve got stories about slacking, stories about firing, stories about vicious cats, stories about docile cats. I’ve got stories that are so funny I cry just thinking about [...]
