It must be BULLETS!

  • I’ve been using Google Chrome because I think it’s pretty. THERE. I said it. I’m currently using a browser because I find it more aesthetically pleasing than the others. You may take away my Geek card now and replace it with a Prissy Princess card.
  • Yes. I downloaded the Dr. Horrible soundtrack from iTunes. Yes. I’ve already listened to it 20 times. Yes. Between that and the “Once More, With Feeling” soundtrack, Joss Whedon gets more playtime on my iPod than any other artist. I’m not sure what that says about the transformation of my musical tastes since the days of Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan.
  • You know how when you bite your tongue or your cheek it swells a little, therefore causing you to biting it again and again? I think there’s some sort of similar occurrence with spit up. For some reason, AndyZ can go all day not spitting up on me. Then, he does it 10 times in five minutes IN THE SAME SPOT on my shirt.
  • Is it just me, or does it feel like the Huffington Post is yelling at me a lot lately? I like a lot of the writers over there, but this election has brought out the excessive use of 800pt font and BIG RED LINKS and it makes me feel like I’m constantly being yelled at when I view the home page. Even if I agree with a lot of what they’re screaming, I wish they’d write it with fewer BOLD LETTERS.
  • Ever since we started trying to be really conscious about recycling everything we can to avoid renting another garbage bin, I’ve noticed I can’t throw away recyclables — even elsewhere. I brought home 2 grocery bags full of cans and bottles from Knoxville so that I could put them in our recycle bin. I keep a box at my office for cans and bottles and boxes to drop off at the recycling center. I’ve gone mad with recycling, evidently. I’m officially annoying even myself.
  • I have decided that having a VERY FAST GROWING teenage son in my house is kinda like living with food thieves. You are constantly asking yourself, “Didn’t I just buy a new jar of peanut butter last week? How is it already gone?”
  • Why is it that I’ve suddenly been saying, “Dude!” a lot more? I’ve always typed it, but lately I’m speaking it just as often. And this makes me feel like a giant jackass. Not only is it an annoying word that brings back memories of Bill and Ted, but I’m THIRTY-THREE years old! Jeezus. But – it’s like a reflex when I hear something shocking. DUDE!

    Strange. I’ve been saying Dude a lot in my head lately. Perhaps, there is something in the air.

    It is my goal to only surround myself with aesthetically pleasing items. :-)

  2. Janssen says:

    Granted, I’m only 23, but wow, I’m always saying DUDE and feeling like a total teenager.

  3. heather says:

    My brothers were two years apart and, as such, teenagers at the same time. Well, technically they are still teenagers, but the food thing tapers off a bit. It got so bad for a while that my Mom would accuse us of throwing parties without her knowledge and/or giving food away to friends. Why? Why would we give away food?

  4. ashley says:

    I’ll be 37 next week and I say dude umpteen bazillion times a day. I can’t help it.

    I also bring home my recycling because the company I work for doesn’t provide recycling bins. I’m trying to change this though.

  5. Kathy says:

    I badly want to try Google Chrome but I hear it doesn’t have a Mac version.

  6. Oliquig says:

    -I died when I read your first bullet, because I just used Chrome to come here and was thinking how pretty it was.

    -Love Once More, With Feeling, must discover the other one.

    -I say Dude a ridiculous amount for someone who just turned 30. I’ve decided it is my trademark, and thusly is now cool.

  7. meg says:

    Funny post, made me smile

  8. stacey says:

    I have been hearing various things about google chrome. i may wait a bit more before checking it out. besides being pretty have you noticed anything awesome or horrible about it?

  9. crystal says:

    I so downloaded Dr. Horrible soundtrack and have listened to it about a million times. Also printed out the lyrics. I have Dr. Horrible on iTunes and watch it all the time. Also have two t-shirts one with Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog and one with NPH as Dr. Horrible.

    Yes I am a geek and yes I know I have a problem. Will be buying the DVD!

    I love everything Joss Whedon has done!

    Watching Firefly series now.

    By my fourth baby I operated on auto-pilot when putting a toddler in the car. You know, put kid in car, buckle the buckle and go. It worked great – except when we had taken the car seat out of the car. Several times I put the car seat in, put kiddo in seat, buckled seat in the car, and forgot to buckle her 5-point harness. I can still hear that little voice piping up from the back seat, “Uh-oh! Bucko!” Thank goodness she was also a creature of habit and alerted me.

  11. Rachael says:

    I am also using Google Chrome. I like how it looks and that it fills up my WHOLE screen. Happy.

    I STILL have not watched Dr. Horrible… I am failing Joss. But I’m sure that I too willl download the soundtrack then drive around singing like a fool.

    I also bring home recyclables from vacation. I just can’t bear to throw them out!

  12. Cindi B. says:

    I LOVE Dr. Horrible. NPR Fresh Air has a great interview with NPH–free download on iTunes or the NPR website.

  13. Jenny H. says:

    Dude, I am thirty-four. Imagine my horror!

    Actually, a long ago roommate got me in the habit of saying it. And sadly? I can’t seem to stop.

  14. mama speak says:

    Dude!

    I turn 40 this year! I know, Dude!

    Really, you just live in the wrong state; if you lived in CA you wouldn’t need to feel weird about going to find your people (Obama-ites), everyone says Dude (seriously everyone, Dude, and no one finds that odd) and it’s hard to not recycle here. If you put something that can be recycled in the trash someone will either come move it or let you know you did it wrong and you need to move it to the correct bin. I do not jest.

  15. Susan says:

    I’m with Kathy, I want to try Chrome, but I’m also on a Mac. I guess we’ll just have to wait a little longer. Google’s usually pretty good to Mac users, so I’ll be patient. Glad to hear you like it, though. Hey, I’m all about aesthetics on my computer . . . thus the Mac ; )

  16. Erin says:

    I always say dude. I’m 27 and I just never stopped after high school. I say it more now b/c it bugs my husband when the kids and I say it.

  17. Jerri Ann says:

    Hey, I tried Chrome and I was plain dizzy before the night was over……

  18. I think I am falling in love with Google Chrome, too. But who knows if my infatuation will last? It will be hard to truly say goodbye to FF, with all the nifty add-ons.

  19. lynne says:

    Regarding the word “dude” could it be you’ve seen the film Juno recently? I totally re-added dude to my vocab shortly after watching it (like 5 minutes after the credits finished). After re-watching Wayne’s World last night I think I will add ” party on” “excellent” :)

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my blog that I've been writing on since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot as it's a derivative of an old childhood nickname. I used to write about my struggles to have children, but eventually I succeeded and now, I write a lot about those kids. I don't use my kid's exact names simply because if someone Googles their very unique names in the future, I don't want them stumbling upon my entries about boobsweat. I mean, would you hire someone whose Mom writes openly about such topics? NO. YOU WOULD NOT.

I love taking pictures and carry my camera (almost) everywhere I go. This means you'll see a lot of photos on this site. I also periodically post recipes I like as I've been slowly (but surely) learning to cook and I like to share my discoveries. Finally? I'm an annoying pop culture fanatic so I'll periodically ramble about Hunger Games or the latest Parks and Recreation.

I hope you like it here. If not? Please don't tell me. I cry easily.
