One of the most enjoyable series of books I, and many others, have ever read is done. I've just begun my second reading but wanted to make note of my first thoughts. The first time through is a whirlwind, trying to discover how it all ends. ... http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/07/22/all-was-well/ A few days ago I was driving to the store and listening to Backspin on Sirius radio. Much to my delight they played "Criminal Minded" by Boogie Down Productions. It started as I was pulling into the parking lot so I shut off the engine and sat back to enjoy ... http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/06/30/music-is-for-the-young/ Older Hispanic woman in an Outkast t-shirt and lime green slacks. Man in ripped jeans, oversized mangey, mustard colored suit jacket and a bad, matted jheri curl. Sits in front of me, smelling like he slept at the bottom of a steel reserve can, and begins talking loudly on a cell ... http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/05/29/this-morning-on-the-37-nb/ Okay not really but that song, "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne, is on frequent rotation in my head. I heard it and "Cupid's Chokehold" by Gym Class Heroes (?) at my brother's house. The kids loved them. Sounded like Disney pop crap to me (minus the cussin') at first but they ... http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/05/24/hell-yeah-im-a-muthafuckin-princess/ In the past month I've really given up all attempts at sociability. I tend to think that my ability to maintain social obligations and friendships is a reflection of my health. But maybe not. Maybe I'm just a loner and should learn to be happy with that. Either way I've stopped ... http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/05/21/surrounded-by-the-lonely-but-yet-feel-like-a-loner/ Why must u brake harts? http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/05/04/dear-mavs/ Loving: - lemon in water - finishing medium-level tour in Guitar Hero - "Bet That" - Trick Daddy - "Jealousy" - PPT - Dwayne Wayde/Charles Barkley T-Mobile commercials ("sexy") Hating: - Baron Davis - "I Tried" Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony - Geico Caveman commericals (enough already!) - mood issues - self-doubt http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/04/30/monday-list/ I don't really want to talk about what happened yesterday, what is all over the news. There's nothing to add to such a tragedy that is already being overexposed and trampled by the media. Of course when something like this happens it leads you to imagine what those families are going ... http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/04/17/22/ Reviving AFJ I promised myself I would be regular with the posting. Mostly b/c I've got to start writing, for real. But life has a way of interferring with your plans. Work has been slammed, I'm making logos, mocking up sites, writing complex php/mySQL systems, etc. etc. Why must work consume ... http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/04/11/aww-baby-you-busy-doin-nuttin/ Anyone who's known me for a number of years probably has a distinct impression of me: quick to anger, always putting my foot in my mouth, brash, will go off on anyone, a bitch. This is not me. At least it's not me in my heart, not the me of ... http://blog.askforjanice.com/2007/04/03/dont-let-your-mouth-open-up/
