Subject: Mini Kiss just ate the last bagel

In 2005 I was living the high (mediocre) life in the city of Angels, L.A. working in this business we (they, or someone) called show. I wasn't just working in television, I was working in live television. And as if that wasn't enough of a chaotic setting for a great story for you, I also happened to be working for the first (yes, FIRST EVER) GLBTQ television network, appropriately called: Q Television Network with absolutely no experience. The details of how I found myself living in LA as a fresh college senior dropout from the tiny little hipster hotspot of Denton, TX will come later; because rest assured, I had no lifelong desire to work in production. I was a poetry major after all. On this particular sunny day I'm sitting in my office, with my staff (yes, at 23 I had a STAFF! Small, but still...) when I receive an email on my Sidekick. The sender was Jon, a new friend I'd made who worked in acquisitions. The subject was: Mini Kiss just ate the last bagel. The b...

Morning meanders on, or Attack of the Alliteration

As I'm slopping crunchy bits into Bruce's bowl (and watching his drool drip onto the tile) my cell phone rings. I look at the caller ID, this time it's my boss. "Heey Angela! Good morning!" He sounds like he just woke up. "Hey Schmark (tee hee) good morning." "I'm running a little behind for the morning meeting, but I'm about to walk out the door, sorry about that. I think Schmandrew is running behind too. Has he talked to you this morning? He said he was going to call you..." My boss, like Schmandrew, also likes to talk. A lot. Working with the two of them has had an interesting effect on me. I'm usually a very talkative outgoing person, especially at work. But getting so frustrated at their chitter chatter all day while I'm trying to work has pushed me to rebel in a most obvious way- I am quiet. I am very quiet. So much so that they think I'm shy. Me. Shy. All this quiet is probably the reason I started this ...

We got two, TWO options for flushing now.

HydroRight Dual Flush Converter My partner and I were buying some paint at Home Depot recently and saw a display for water saving toilet converters. We had noticed a few of the restaurants we frequent have two options for flushing in their bathroom and thought it was a pretty neat effort to "go green". The toilets offer a big flush and a little flush. We looked at the box for the kit and it seemed simple and cheap enough to try out. For about $20 ($17.98 + tax at home depot) and 5-10 minutes of installation time-according to the box- we could reduce our water consumption by up to 30% a year. Now, I'm all about saving water and the environment but I'm always a bit more motivated when it also happens to save me cash. So, we bought a converter kit and installed the HydroRight Dual Flush Converter (http://bit.ly/cyGGc5) about a month ago. It did not take me 5-10 minutes to install. It took me about 20 minutes to eff up by misinterpreting the visual aids and securi...
