Three has always been my pet number. It's always brought me luck. But even your trusted companion can snap at you if you don't show enough appreciation. First it was Groove Heroine's mother, then my boss's mother, and now a close family member. Why do bad things have a lock on the number three, and...
It has been one hell of a week. I lost my wallet on wednesday, which was a huge drama. I got off the bus and ordered a drink in starbucks before I realised I had left my wallet on the bus. It was really embarrassing not to mention horrifying realizing that I had no money, no cards, no...

I consider myself to be lucky. I am not suffering in a war zone, I don't have to worry about where my next meal is going to come from. Although I do sometimes get a run of bad luck. I'd rather not have bad luck than getting good luck. Am I only prone to getting bad luck ? To date I've never won...
You would think I'd had enough adventure for the whole weekend by the time I posted yesterday, given that a new computer and a crusty-toed chatty lady had already entered my life all before early afternoon. But no, the day was just getting started. After doing my first Vox post on the new PC, I...

What question do you hate being asked? The two questions I am asked most frequently, of course: A) Are you okay? Because when I'm thinking about something very important or complicated people say I look like something is wrong. In fact, it seems like if I'm just not smiling people act like I am sick...
It is early Sunday morning and I am sleeping in since I don't have to be at the office. The buzzer goes off several times and I drag myself over to the intercom to see who would be so rude as to disturb my slumber. "Hello?" "John Smith?" (not my real name, but close enough for the story) "Yeah,...
My feline self just used up one of her nine lives. I was working on my laptop and watching the Italy v. Spain game--recorded it while I started my cedar trunk restoration in the garage today--and generally humming along through the opening minutes. I had brown rice on the stove and a timer set to...
So I feel like its been a very eerie coincidence that I go into an internship having both supervisors quit their positions and go off to a better opportunity. My last internship, I knew about my supervisors plan while she told me when she was going to interviews and such. After I left due to my...
Really, I spoke too soon. I forgot what humidity truly is. Oh, sure, breathing would be a little easier with some gills right about now. I had to wade through mud to get to work. I got a little water in the basement last night. My hair is an off-the-charts frizz-bomb today. Lucky me, because I...
Sorry. That’s my fave Clint Eastwood quote. Good old Dirty Harry himself. So, how did the unluckiness of Friday the 13th begin? You can look here for a long article about the unluckiness of Friday the 13th but here are a few examples: LEGEND HAS IT: If 13 people sit down to dinner together, all...
So let's get this straight. Gw mau ngasih tahu sebelumnya kalau my grades have been bad for this semester. And therefore, gue harus mengikuti "ujian ulangan" (agak aneh namanya) yang juga disebut sebagai remedial. Kebetulan, gue juga harus ikut remedial kimia. Gw juga mau ngasih tahu sesuatu lagi....
They say that if you win at cards then you are unlucky in love so what happens when you are unlucky at both, does that mean you’re a double loser? At the moment I can’t win at both - twice I have been chip leader in tournaments with my hand on the prize money and then a red mist covers my eyes...
Interview at Hollister tomorrow! Wish me luck! Applied for a new job within the same company! (They're looking for a permanent receptionist, ie, someone who is not going back to school in September.) Wish me luck! And I'm going for a run tonight with a friend (providing it doesn't rain) and drank...
It’s all about the experience, a little luck and a matter of good timing. I love finding bargains. I don’t mean cheap things. I mean good quality products at prices that are simply too good to ignore, let alone walk away from. Happily, I’ve had quite a few such occasions. I’ve purchased...
There's a nice article over at Fortune online that talks about Apple and how it's the most admired American company. It's an interesting piece about what makes the company so appealing... The assessment seems to be that it tends to derive from the CEO of Apple, Steven P. Jobs, who just happens to be...

... dicono che porti fortuna conservarlo, essiccato, all'interno di un diario, un'agenda un libro ... quindi, scortolo tra la vegetazione, mi accingevo a coglierlo, quando mi sono detto: "....ma perchè mai condannare lui a morte certa, per avere io presunta fortuna??? ... " e così, anzichè...
Update to my having my purse stolen this week (also see second update below): I lost some cash, my camera, and my cell phone, although the purse was returned to me that same night (so I had my credit card, ID, and all important house keys intact). This afternoon, a friend called and I found out that...
