Sharpest Shark commented on the post, Lunchtime Poll: Time Alone 9 years, 9 months ago
I live alone and get time alone almost every day. But if by “no distractions” you mean “all of your electronic gadgets have mysteriously stopped working” then I’d have to say I’d probably read, lay on the floor […]

Sharpest Shark commented on the post, Why Moving Cross-Country is Like the Zombie Apocalypse 10 years ago
I’m moving 1200 miles south to Florida in the next few months. I find that if I think about everything that needs to be done before then all at once, I immediately feel like sobbing. It isn’t like when I was 21 […]

Brave (of course) and I’m excited for Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter too. I read the book and liked it, which is rare, because I normally scoff at zombies/werewolves/vampires stuff, but meh, it was a fun read and […]

Sharpest Shark commented on the post, Persephone Lounge is Open for Business: OT for 6/14/12 10 years ago
Currently resisting the urge to send a sarcastic, biting email to people who should know better. But can’t burn bridges. Oh, Lawd – if it didn’t matter one way or another, they’d get a verbal tit-punch in their […]

The one magical word for working with micromanagers – “No.” And then smile a little. If he’s not your boss and you don’t have to collaborate with him on anything, “No” and a smile will put him in his place […]

I’m back! I’m back! Had some computer problems (red wine spilled on a keyboard will do that) and so I’m writing from a shiny new laptop that took its time in getting here.
I had a weird/awesome blast from the […]

Whine/rant/plea for input ahead:
So, I turned 29 a few days ago. And I can’t stop thinking about what it means, even though I realize that in the grand scheme of things, it means precisely nothing except as a […]

Sorta like how politicians who scream the loudest against homosexuality usually end up having some sort of gay escort scandal.

As a non-religious individual who still does her best to respect the belief systems of those around her, I am constantly amazed at how un-Christ-like so many fervent Christians are, and how often they seem to act […]

I….don’t understand what the government in Philadelphia is spending so much money on that it can’t meet one of its most important and most basic of duties: public education and libraries (which are tied into […]

I’m glad there’s another cheese stick connoisseur ’round these parts. People think it’s just greasy fried cheese, but in reality, it’s greasy fried cheese…with delicious crunchy breading. I’ve also nearly lost […]

My grandfather was in D-Day. He didn’t start speaking about it until two years ago. He’s 94 and cried when he spoke of it. The experience was still that real, and still hurt that badly.
I set up a program a few […]

I haven’t been on many dates (not being particularly interested in that sort of thing) but I remember one date as being awkward in that awkward way that can only happen at that most awkward of ages – in my case, […]

With any luck, it will eventually occur to him in a eureka moment. “Hey, maybe it isn’t the rest of the world that’s lame, maybe I’m just an asshole.” We can but hope.

I knew a guy like that in high school. He made all these claims about being the inspiration for a Sugar Ray song, and how he’d worked with all these famous people and was friends with them, blah blah…except we […]

Today I got into a bit of Facebook drama when a friend (who is going to graduate in a few weeks with some pretty heavy student loans and a career trajectory that basically means she’ll never have steady income) […]

Oh God ya’ll. I don’t think I can read Salon.com anymore. It isn’t the politics or anything that get me – it’s the smug navel-gazing. I don’t mind navel-gazing pieces if they are well done, insightful, or add […]
