That'd Make a Great Name For a Rock Band

Every one and a while I'll hear a particular turn of phrase and think, "That'd make a great name for a rock band!"

It's happened more than a few times over the years and I always forget them. So, in an effort to document for posterity, here's entry number one of;

Begijn's - That'd Make a Great Name for a Rock Band!

Note To Self:

Never, *ever* think about, consider or attempt to become a Mediator. I do not know how they do it. To put up with all the posturing, ego, and testosterone and yet make it your business to bring the parties to some mutually agreeable conclusion.

A good mediator hides his/her own feelings and always keeps an optimistic outlook. A good mediator lets you think you're on top of the world at the same time as she/he clues you in on the deficiencies in your case. A good mediator gently nudges everyone towards compromise while letting everyone think they're still getting the best end of the deal. A good mediator is worth every penny.

I couldn't do it. I was ready to tell everyone to go f*#k themselves after the first hour.

Happy Holidays

"Us and Them" is a must read - and must force on certain others in the hopes they will see themselves, realize the pathetic of their priorities and stop the crazy.

Would I jump off a bridge if someone else did?

"It's addictive!" she said, "It stresses me out!" she said, "It's annoying!" she said, "Why don't you have one yet?!" she said

I have Facebook Page.

It's so annoying. It's so addictive.

I am an idiot.

"A Journal of Emotional Hygiene"

I've been a hold out on the whole iPod thing.

Been through a few MP3 players though. Just couldn't wrap my head around paying extra for a little music player just because of its brand.

Then Syd gave me an old 512MB iPod Shuffle she wasn't using anymore.

Hooked. Line and sinker.

The interface is better. iTunes is better.

Just got my new Nano.


I have a great time shopping through comedy podcasts on iTunes.

Gotta have Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, that was a given, same with NPR's Unger Report, but my found favorite is "You Look Nice Today" I love these guys.


From episode 7 -

Next time you order your half-skim, double pump latte what name will *you* give the puzzled barista?
