I’m sure most of you with blogs realize how annoying it is when you spend a decent effort in creating a post (complete with links), only to have the computer crash — or worse, WordPress not save it — no matter how many times that “last saved/edited” time stamp comes up in the sidebar. *sigh* [...]
I am trying my best to not let October suck the life out of me. I have practically ignored everything that has been thrown at me (yet playing into all those insomnia episodes anyway).
But then yesterday happened. October 28. Almost to the end of the month…
And Esteban decided he no longer wanted to be “touched [...]
Wanted to remind everyone that Derek Hess & Kent Smith will be at Joseph Beth Booksellers at Legacy Village tonight to sign “Please God, Save Us.” Unfortunately, I will be on the wrong side of town today to say hello.
Go out and give some Cleveland love.
And pray for Esteban, for he has dead spots on [...]
I realized last night through a different set of conversations that I have had a lot of shit happening: tumor-like bug bites, dates, shots and scalpels, waiting rooms… another “Only Mel” run-down. The life is glamorous, no?
My desk calendar fucking hates me as much as my body. I wish I could post a picture of [...]
I was so happy that I had plans with my other M on Saturday to take my mind off otherwise awful events.
My afternoon was all about Cleveland! First stop was a trip to the West Side Market. I bought some tomato-basil hummus, cheese curds, chorizo, a beautiful eggplant, asparagus, baby tomatoes, fresh green onions, a [...]
Wow. I was a bit hypocritical yesterday. I say a few days ago that I will welcome and embrace my “single-ness,” then I go and be melodramatic about wanting to be in a relationship.
There Mel goes again: The Walking Contradiction.
What do you want to talk about today? I initially declared September to be National Talk [...]
Yesterday after getting my tattoo, I was looking in the bathroom mirror, being all poser– and posing. I actually said out loud, “I’m such a badass!” because, well, I’m a tool.
Then I hit my elbow on the corner of my granite countertop, teared up from the pain, and said a couple mutha-fuckers.
I’m so awesome. [...]
Something is going on in my mouth. Bad things. I would rather other bad things be in my mouth rather than the latex-gloved hands of a middle-aged dentist that stares too long, but I digress. But seriously, I cannot get that latex taste out of my mouth all morning. Blech.
My hygienist, invading all personal boundaries, [...]
We’ll just skip right over the part where my mother has her own personal myspace page, and go straight to what she wrote about me:
Melinda - “eldest”, as she likes to say. Free-spirited, spontaneous, adventurous, beautiful … Falls in love too easily, but has a big heart and a giving spirit! Dare I say “available”?
I [...]
OK, now that I’m over feeling depressed over my current state of personal real estate, we can move on to more important things, like alcohol.
Before and after last Friday’s NIN concert, I paid my respects in bar tabs at Boneyard, Flannery’s pre-show. If I may mention living arrangements again, the Gateway District is still one [...]
I met with my Realtor last night to place my condo back on the market. Obviously, it’s NOT a good market to do that, but I never realized HOW bad. It’s worse than I imagined. I purchased it in 2006 — completely renovated with everything brand new (sans furnace). My market analysis reports that no [...]
The Nine Inch Nails concert at the Q Friday night definitely goes into my Top 5 List of All Time concert experiences. Just. absolutely. fucking. incredible.
Our seats were right of stage (thankfully, since I’m just too old to be moshing in general admission anymore) in the club level. Thinking that NIN would go on around [...]
Technology never ceases to annoy every fuck out of me. I switched to Verizon last year, after multiple years of bullshit with AT&T/Cingular/at&t. Not surprisingly, right out of the box, my phone did not work in my office or my condo. You know, those two places that I spent majority of my natural life. Finally, [...]
Another place in Cleveland where I get lost is Tremont. How about when I left my location, attempting to find the freeway (or a familiar path), that I found the signs for the Cleveland Vibrator Company. I was also on the phone and totally screamed, “I know this place!”
Then, I found my way. [...]
I was so excited this weekend for a beautiful Saturday morning for a long bike ride. I hate when a week or so passes, and I have no spare time to get out. Not unlike all my other trips, this was equally as adventurous. I had two main points of interest: Great Northern Mall [...]
I utilize Dave’s Supermarket deli counter services once or twice a week. Why, you ask? Because I love sandwiches. Could be turkey and sharp cheddar or swiss and salami (my choice today). Every once in a while, I skip the counter and head for veggies at the salad bar to stuff in a pita. (Yeah, [...]
I have another crazy story to tell. Shocker, right?
A couple Easters ago, my mom was out visiting my sister in Phoenix. When she returned, in an attempt to celebrate the holiday, albeit belated, she went out in search of candy for my two youngest brothers. She purchased these two large Willy Wonka Easter Eggs from [...]
*sigh*
I have a new neighbor.
I met my new upstairs renter two nights ago. The condo is owned by some douche that normally rents the place to the not-so-wanted type of neighbor, so I automatically have reservations when I hear someone creaking around on the floor in Number 3. Oh, GOD, it’s bad. The place has [...]
Day four complete with no nicotine.
Update: my dick is still not bigger.
I was really excited to meet a couple of my most-read Cleveland bloggers this weekend for dinner and fun at Bar Cento, courtesy of plum-lover Alexa. In attendance were Alexa, Allison, Todd and myself, of course.
Dinner, obviously was fantastic! I was probably overly salivating at the idea of either bleu cheese OR eggs on pizza [...]
