One of Those Days

By Missy, on October 1, 2009, 11:14 pm

This was just one of those days…nothing really awful, just lots of annoyances. I hope the last annoyance was spilling soup on my favorite chair. I hope it got it cleaned up well enough and won’t have a stain.

The day could have been so much worse, but even so I’m glad it’s almost over. Tomorrow [...]

Spotting a Cold

By Missy, on September 17, 2009, 10:55 pm

You know you have a cold when:

a tissue box claims a prime spot on your bed.
you need sleep, but can’t get any.
a St. Bernard keeps offering you his Red Cross flask.
your ears keeping popping, and it sounds suspiciously like Taps.
your throat could be used for a skiing moguls championship, if only it weren’t so dry and [...]

Playing Chicken

By Missy, on August 22, 2009, 12:07 am

I saw a little white mouse playing chicken on a busy street tonight. I have never, ever seen anything like this!

I was leaving a friend’s house and was on a subdivision street waiting for traffic to clear so I could make a right turn. Movement on the ground right in front of my car caught [...]

Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

By Missy, on August 17, 2009, 10:15 pm

Life and work got busy and blogging got ignored. Then, right as work calmed a moment, I got really sick.

I used to get the flu a lot when I was a kid, but I haven’t thrown up in over 20 years. Nope, now when I get the flu these days, I get other nasties. No [...]

The Fine Art of Mixing

Mix not; want not?

Is is just me or does anyone else see a problem with the instructions printed on the battery cover and with the battery capacity of the clock?

Welcome to Missyisms

Yes, once again, welcome to the new home of Missyisms. I know, a lot of moving around lately. Thank you for your patience. I’ve had this domain for a couple of years and finally gathered the courage to attempt migrating my blog here. It’s taken some doing…more doings than necessary to be honest…but here we [...]

Focus on Marvel Comic’s Pride and Prejudice

By Missy, on June 15, 2009, 8:05 pm

A while back Missyisms shared that Marvel comics was going to release a five-part edition of the Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice in comic book form. The first two comic books have been released and our humble editor has taken a look.

In summary, they aren’t as bad as they could be, but they definitely [...]

Testing WordPress

By Missy, on May 14, 2009, 1:51 pm

Lately I’ve noticed that more and more blogs seem to be moving to WordPress, so I thought I’d give it a try. I thought I’d start with the WordPress.com version (as opposed to the WordPress.org software version). Hey, it’s free; it’s worth a trial run.

I started by importing my TypePad blog, which was fairly easy, [...]

TechCom

By Missy, on May 9, 2009, 10:09 pm

I spent about an hour and a half "TechComming" with a friend of mine. I say "TechCom" because I don't really know what else to call it.

We started with Skype. I was transmitting with both audio and video, but she didn't have a webcam and was only sending audio. We had a very poor connection, [...]

Ouches

By Missy, on May 5, 2009, 11:10 pm

Have you ever noticed that it's hard to type with a bruised fingertip? If you haven't noticed, today I can assure you it is true. I'm sure tomorrow it will be all better…or else. While the finger is hard to type with, I must admit the bruise on the big toe is much worse. I [...]
