Don't say I didn't warn you. 
A month or so ago I had in mind that around this time I would be posting a blog entry (blentry) entitled "YAY! I Am Awesome, and Have Great, Fun News!"  Unfortunately, today's post should perhaps be titled, "My Self-Esteem is Close to Being at an All-Time Low."
I signed up for […]

My co-worker Scott finds the best news!  Here are three links he sent me today.  Run, don't walk, to click on these. 
This first one is the best piece of news I've seen in quite a while. A housecat named Lewis gets a restraining order. The housecat is under house arrest.
These are the best two paragraphs:
"He looks like Felix the Cat […]

Loving: that Jeremy is back in L.A.! and that I got to see Sarah, my old college roommate, yesterday when she was in town from Hawaii, and I met her, her husband, and a member of the U.S. Women's National soccer team who used to play for Carolina (yes, I'll admit that was gratuitous information I added […]

I told you you would be the blopic of my next post, but instead, something wonderful has happened that I must disclose immediately:
Cathryn Michon, grrl genius, has been my hero ever since I read her book The Grrl Genius Guide to Life. Now, while surfing around on iVillage, I have found her blog! […]

WELL! I am offended. Turns out, the Register.com ad at the bottom of my blog is because I'm using the website forwarding service they offered for "free" with my domain name account. Those meanies! I should have known there was a catch. As my dad always says, there's no such […]

Extra, extra, Read all about it! BaddMinton moves away from Friendster!
Well, Friendster, it's been real. You've been good to me, and I'll still keep my profile and photo albums here, but I cannot deal with all these extra ads. If I have ads on my blog, I want to be getting paid for […]

Wow!  I guess what they say is true: 27 is older than 26. I think I have heartburn!  I’ve never had it before, but here’s why I think I do: I am experiencing a burning sensation from the stomach area all the way up to the throat area.  This happened immediately after quickly downing one […]

Rebecca gave me a belated birthday present today, and it is wonderfabulicious.  Here’s a picture!
I uploaded two photos of it onto my computer.  This was the second one I took, and I called the set "cutebag," so the system automatically called this one "cutebag002."  I like that, so I think the bag’s name from […]

If ever there were a job created for the sake of creating a job, it is that of the bathroom attendant.  One question for you: WHY?  Is it really any easier to take a paper towel from the hand of the attendant than to get one out of the paper towel dispenser?  There’s a distinct […]

So I’m at my house, by myself, and it’s 11:14 PM, and I’m considerably buzzed slash borderline drunk.  Not slurring the speech drunk, but occasionally grabbing the bar for balance slash laughing really hard at things that may or may not actually be that funny slash having to correct every other word as I sloppily […]

It was raining a little today, which I like. I love rain, and this time of year (my birthday week, to be exact) is always the most beautiful in LA, in my opinion, because the rain comes, washes away the smog, and leaves LA looking fresh and bright and green.  The down side, however, […]

This was sent to me by email, but I usually see it in blogs.  It’s called getting "Meme’d," and I’ve been wondering why, so I looked it up on Wikipedia.  According to them, the term "meme" refers to any piece of information transferable from one mind to another.  OK, good enough for me!  So here […]

  I’m having trouble writing this week, so… I figure I’ll just post some old photos (blotos).  These are from Jeff & my trip to Paris last fall, a weekend trip from our 3 1/2 week stint in Barcelona.   Click on the photos to view them full size.  Why is Paris so f-ing gorgeous!!!??  I […]

That’s http://baddminton.com.  Notice there is no www. This is for an unexplainable reason that I have to figure out and fix.  I’m trying to move my blog somewhere non-friendster, but until I can decide on which platform to use, I’m keeping it there.  In any case, you’ll always be able to find it at http://baddminton.com.

It’s National Procrastination Week!  It’s also the week before my birthday, but since I’ve been busy celebrating Procrastination Week, I haven’t planned any sort of celebration.  Speaking of birthdays, today is Amanda’s (Happy Birthday, Manditas!!) and coming soon is Nathan’s.  Nathan’s is right around the time of mine, but I forget the exact day.  I […]
