Kara & Michael’s Blog

I read this earlier this week and felt the immediate need to take produce a tidal-wave of vomit, one that would wipe out every single person on the planet who thinks and feels the same way as the woman in charge of this chat.
It’s times like these I am grateful for Michael because we took [...]

I went out with a friend from my childhood this weekend. We manage to go out probably a couple times a year now, since I live an hour or so away and with work and family and relationships, it seems harder to find time. But after a lunch at micro-brewery type place, we ended up [...]

I read a lot of writing on the internet, and so many people screw up the simplest phrases because they’ve only heard them and never read them and don’t think about it.  Today it was “intensive purposes” which is supposed to read, “intents and purposes.” Let me ask you something, does for all “intensive purposes” [...]

I’m a secretary, despite my official title as administrative support or assistant or whatever it is, here.  I don’t have a hard job - I have a boring, often tedious job.  I have to remember bureaucratic processes, and stay organized.  I’m not that great at this job, but my heart isn’t really into it, either.  [...]

I don’t make a secret of not really enjoying the holidays.  I start thinking about Christmas in September, largely because by the time December rolls around, the only thing I want to think about is baking, drinking coffee, and hanging out with friends and family.  The reality is, December rolls around and I’m still worrying [...]

So some of you astute readers (ha ha! All three of you) may have noticed that this blog has been literally inundated with spam comments of late. For the last week or so, I’ve had to manually delete hundreds of crap comments advertising party poker and the like. The filters have caught most of them [...]

On a more or less related note to my previous post about why the ACLU sucks, I’d like to explain why the Libertarian party has got it wrong (in my opinion).
First off: I am a registered Libertarian, and until recently was a dues-paying member of both the national and Maryland state Libertarian party. I couldn’t [...]
