OH DEAR GOD!
Please excuse me if you think my honest and barbaric feelings make me a shallow evil horrible woman, but I still don’t know my (future) children, and the perspective of suffering this transformation really upsets me, worries me, and almost makes me think it twice. I hope this is not received as an […]
According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor, the average person (I assume: American) will make more than three career changes during the span of his/her working life.
So. Here you are, wondering where the passion went, why your job doesn’t satisfy you the way it used to, why you can’t get yourself to apply […]
Although these irresistibly indecent proposals are based on real events, their specific details have been altered, added or left out for dramatic purposes. All characters in this post are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, tyrants, and sweatshops, living or dead is purely coincidental.
1. The typical job posting
We are looking for an energetic individual to […]
While Joey is currently consumed by the thought of replacing a large percentage of our randomly yellow grass with large beds of water-wise plants (i.e. xeriscaping), I am experiencing some kind of weird devious urge to grow plants. Not only grow them… The actual urge is to grow plants from seeds or pits, and bonsai […]
Exhibit A
Uniandes (college)
My friend Beatríz and I discover that our favorite burger place on campus, where we usually camp between classes, rents games, and hey! we didn’t know each other played chess… We rent a chess set and start playing.
A few friends start coming from class, and noticing we’re playing, stop at our table. Of […]
This morning, as I downloaded the log files for my sites I realized that today’s date is 06.06.06. I thought “Hmmm three sixes… I think that’s the devil’s number”. I googled 666, and sure thing it’s called “the number of the beast”. Scared, because every 666 link in Google has a devilish title, and I […]
First I thought I would write a post about our experience this morning. Then I decided it wasn’t worth it. But the discomfort in my stomach is still there after a few hours, so I can only guess that our visit to DirectBuy has gotten me so upset, that maybe I should write an entry […]
Last weekend, Joey and I spent both days planting a few rose bushes in our backyard. The job took a lot of time and effort, and today I’ve got sore muscles, very dirty clothes, and a sunburn in really painful places… BUT, I am sooo happy we did it…
It had been a while since I […]
Many moons ago, on the last year before I could graduate as an Industrial Engineer, my program required me to take three elective courses in the Social or Humanities areas. I went for really enjoyable choices: Human Sexuality, Theater Theory, and Seminar in Music Literature.
The Music Literature class was just the perfect end to five […]
Having a boring day? I have a suggestion for ya: Make a digital snow flake.
A few nights ago I spent an hour playing and made these 15 pieces. As an experiment, I tried to make a real one by folding a sheet of paper and attempting to cut it… FAILED MISERABLY. With so many folds […]
My mom told me this as a big secret, so shhhhh.. Don’t tell anyone…
She recently discovered that her cable T.V. account had accrued 3000 “stars”, a fortune she could use to get any pay-per-view movies. She checked the movie listings and found this cool and intriguing movie called “Los Cinco Sentidos” (The Five Senses). The […]
La sonrisa que ahora adorna el encabezado de esta pagina es de un viejo amigo del cual no se nada en casi 10 años. Nos conocimos en la sesion de entrenamiento para recien contratados de Avianca (la aerolinea Colombiana). Yo empezaba como analista financiera; el era piloto de helicopteros. Fuimos amigos por mucho tiempo, y […]
An umbrella category for all entries that have more to do with me, my life, and my interests, than with my work as a web designer.
