Suck-i-tude

Okay, I suck at blogging lately. I know some of you are thinking "lately? when were you ever good at it? Or anything else for that matter?" And to that I say "Mom, I told you to stop reading my blog."

In between being busy at work, and with fun stuff, I also managed to get some stuff done at the house. So, although I'm not a new year's resolution kind of guy, I am a no-unfinished business kind of guy. So over the next few posts I am going to clean up some loose ends around here.


  1. I'll finish up the Adventures in Law episodes where I talk about legal jobs that I've had. We have one more episode with Carl/Chris and the girls who crush on him, then we'll get to some really weird (but really true) stories of life at an actual law firm with psychotic bosses, incompetent support staff and one really handsome new associate who would eventually become a blogger that everyone knows and loves. And no, this story has nothing to do with Pink is the New Blog;
  2. I'll throw in a couple of holiday stories with my wacky family (hey, you people are cheaper than a therapist);
  3. I'll tell you about a good deed that I did which almost got me mauled by a rottweiler (I am really starting to hate my neighborhood);
  4. and...I'll post some pics of my new kitchen countertops.

I tend to think of my house as some kind of metaphor for my life (in the Japanese "Kaizen" sense of continual improvement), but when I saw the countertop installed and I realized that the sink and dishwasher were in place, but weren't hooked up, that it really was a metaphor. It looks right, but it's not working. Just for show. It looks good from the outside, but upon closer inspection is completely dysfunctional (for now). Wow.

Also, we have an important dog-related announcement to make...with pics. Stay tuned.

Tell us about the things that make you not ok (for now). The kitchen metaphor has made this quite hard for me, as any run on reference is going to be related to your plumbing, and I really hope that's not your un-seen problem.

lemmonex: Yes, I am like Jason in Friday the 13th.

Anonymous: maybe if I was paid to do this...


suicide_blonde: didn't you say "no more home improvement stuff" in your last comment? Make up your mind woman!

Madeleine: good question...I think that deserves a separate navel gazing post though.

SAILOR MOON: thanks :)
