Ranting Roogies: Are You My Mother?
http://roogie.blogspot.com/2008/09/are-you-my-mother.html
Comments, Questions, Exclamations and Anecdotes. Monday, September 01, 2008. Are You My Mother? First- something of an apology. An apology because I know I expend far too much digital energy typing tales of creatures that don't speak here on this (infrequently updated) blog. I'm sure accounts with actual dialogue would be a great deal more entertaining than my latest encounter with winged and four-legged creatures. But I do this for a few reasons:. Don't worry- I'm not to Amy Adams. Status just yet, conf...

http://roogie.blogspot.com/2008/07/detox.html
Comments, Questions, Exclamations and Anecdotes. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. Do you ever get sucked in by infomercials? I do There have been several that have gotten me- usually exercise equipment (Taebo; the bun and thigh rocker; some crazy small exercise ball I can't even remember the name of but popped within a month). I always want to believe whatever the cheesy exercise guru of the moment wants to tell me. "Tighter abs! Get fit while having fun! So when I met Tony Horton, it was instant love. Posted by ...

Ranting Roogies: May 2005
http://roogie.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Comments, Questions, Exclamations and Anecdotes. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. Will work for nunchucks. The Dupont Circle area is home to a number of colorful characters. Perhaps none as interesting as the homeless who sit on the stoops, newspaper boxes, and park benches in the middle of the circle. Anyway, the point is that there were a lot of them out today, probably since it is so beautiful out. And they usually have the same request, "Hey, can you spare some change? Can you help me get a sandwich? The actua...

Ranting Roogies: Corporate Babble 101
http://roogie.blogspot.com/2008/10/corporate-babble-101.html
Comments, Questions, Exclamations and Anecdotes. Thursday, October 09, 2008. I'll admit it, I'm a corporate hack. I use words like "innovation," "incrementalism" and "breakthrough" in my everyday language. When I try to explain my job, I have to translate the description that comes to my mind into words that people can actually understand. That doesn't keep me from laughing when I see other companies putting that kind of BS out into the world at large. Case in point:. The Wendy's/Arby's Group brand ident...

Comments, Questions, Exclamations and Anecdotes. Wednesday, July 27, 2005. That's right, I've got an apartment in Evanston. A house, actually, and this there be it up above. Going to see it tomorrow. Posted by Sarah at 3:45 PM. Tuesday, July 26, 2005. Attack of the smellemia. Good gravy, it's hot. But the worst part of the heat? They are everywhere, and they are pungent. Stepping out of my front yard, I was hit with the overwhelming smell of garbage. It's trash day. Smelled like funk, too. Back at school...

Ranting Roogies: June 2005
http://roogie.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Comments, Questions, Exclamations and Anecdotes. Monday, June 27, 2005. I'm so good at making first impressions. This weekend, I was back in Columbus for work and Gus and Val were kind enough to not only house me for the weekend, but provide me with entertainment as well. On Friday, Gus and his friends took me to a rock show- and ended up putting on quite a show of their own. Then on Saturday, we went over to a small birthday party for another of their friends. Ah, the irony. Sound came out of my mouth, ...

I went on a date last night with a comedian I met a few weeks agowhen I went out with U2 and his boys. After a few phone calls, I was pretty sure I wasn't interested, but thought going out on a date with him couldn't hurt. How wrong I was. I feel you need a diary-style recap. 9:00 The Comedian orders a drink - a Lo...

Comments, Questions, Exclamations and Anecdotes. Wednesday, October 27, 2004. Carving out a piece 'o' my heart. I'm told by reliable sources that it should take you approximately half the time of your total relationship to get over said relationship, post breakup. With that in mind, today is officially "I'm Over You" day. To celebrate, I'm having you all over to get drunk and attack helpless objects with sharp knives. (Sorry you can't be here, Angel! What better way to move on, truly? To take a pledge to...
