1. So, as soon as these little trolls, who have apparently been charged by Satan with scrubbing my throat raw with rusty Brillo pads, are gone, I’m going to be 100%. For now, though, I’m 75% and mainlining tequila. It’s a good burn.
2. It’s hard to complain about being sick when you [...]

1. Now. Where were we?
Right. A few days off for a boosting of the creative juices, a resting of the brain matter, and a gathering of the entire family in celebration for Father of PittGirl’s retirement party, which brought Tina Fey, Ohio Sister, Ta-Ta and their families to town and needless to say, I haven’t [...]

PittGirl woke up this morning feeling a little light in the head, rubbed the sleep from her eyes, and discovered her brain sitting on the floor, arms folded defiantly across its matter while it mumbled something about “I ain’t gotta take this shit no more.”
(Aside: I would have thought my brain had better grammar than [...]

Lukey and the City announced today a new initiative to make the city’s operations more green and to hire a coordinator to oversee it.
Forget the fact, for a moment at least, that I am sick and tired of the word “green.” Not the idea behind it. In fact, I recently began purchasing those pain in [...]

1. One of my BILs gave me a CD he burned of all of David Cook’s American Idol performances, so I spent my drive to work this morning with a giant smile on my face as I jammed with Little Sparrow, rocked with Billy Jean and swayed through Music of the Night. Then [...]

1. I would be a lot more willing to add paper to the copier/printer if someone would invent a ream of paper covered with a plastic that’s easy to open. Until then, I’ll just not print anything until the intern gets to it.
2. Do you want Greg Lloyd to come in your [...]

1. Good sunny and perfect morning to you, Burghers. This morning on my way into town, I noticed that for a long time there have been two crater-like potholes on the Waterfront road that have been circled with white spray paint. The potholes appeared six months ago and the spray paint, maybe [...]

1. I almost witnessed a catfight today on Smithfield. I couldn’t quite tell what the two women were arguing so loudly about - something about hos or bitches or sluts or something. Unfortunately, it didn’t materialize because a friend broke it up before it had a chance to really catch fire.
I say [...]

1. Good rainy morning, Burghers far and wide. It’s a rainy, thunder-y, and maybe tornado-y day here in the Burgh, but who gives a damn? It’s hockey night! As long as the Igloo is still standing by game time, we’re fine. This post is going to be pretty much all [...]

1. This morning I stopped by Get-Go to use my last ever fuel perks from Giant Eagle, because as I said, I am never going in an Iggle again for as long as I live. I had ten cents off per gallon and filled up my SUV to the tune of fifty-two dollars. [...]
