  Murder for a Jar of Red Rum

  Posted on August 17, 2008 by gigigriffis in other

  Tonight Lexi is out on the first date with The Palindrome. Which means that there were several hours of Lexi in a dress and satin-y heels, girl talk, me on a couch with the dogs. And giggling. The extreme joy of indulging in ample girlish laughter. Tonight is also the night that Roommate #1 finally [...]

  Lexi's Lovelife: The Palindrome

  Posted on August 16, 2008 by gigigriffis in other

  On Wednesday the cowboy bar down the street has ladies night. It’s the best ladies night around, because the drinks aren’t just discounted: they’re free. And, of course, this means that all the men in town are out en masse, wearing cowboy hats and dancing. Can you say: Gigi’s new favorite spot? And Lexi’s favorite [...]

  The Patron Saint of Taco Bell

  Posted on July 31, 2008 by gigigriffis in other

  I got my car’s oil changed today. People often make the comparison between having your car get an oil change and taking yourself to the doctor, but I think it’s more like the car having a spa day than a doctor’s visit. At least for my poor mistreated GigiJeep, who hadn’t seen a vaccum until [...]

  Question for all of you

  Posted on July 30, 2008 by gigigriffis in other

  The question: can I pull this off? And, is it little enough work that I will actually do the work every morning? Please, opinions, I beg of you. Haircut is on Friday. Get your opinions in before then.

  An E-Mix For the Lately

  Posted on July 29, 2008 by gigigriffis in other

  Some of these songs describe my life. Some don’t. Sometimes the music itself hits me. Sometimes the lyrics. But I thought I would duplicate an experience from last year. Last year I gave you all an E-mix. This year I’ll do the same. Here’s the 2008 GigEmix. 1. Do It Again – Five Times AugustA [...]

  Burning Rubber

  Posted on July 22, 2008 by gigigriffis in other

  Driving home in the ever-inexplicable Denver traffic that always somehow seems to be worse around easy curves or dips in the road (because that obviously merits slowing to 25 on the highway…ooo, a dip in the road), I saw a guy driving a nice little convertible–the kind with a fold-up soft top. This guy was [...]

  2008 Goals: Physical, Spiritual and Otherwise

  Posted on July 11, 2008 by gigigriffis in other

  It’s been a long day of my laptop being in the shop (so I am working from the Mac) and of the house being overly warm and of the frustration of not having all the materials I need (due to said laptop malfunction issue). Thus, am I not feeling particularly witty or good humored at [...]

  Gigi Vs. Sol

  Posted on June 8, 2008 by gigigriffis in other

  Yesterday I biked from Aurora to downtown Denver. The intention was to go to Capitol Hill, which is actually a little closer than downtown. But my sense of direction is not as well attuned as I pretend. So I made it to Blake Street before I turned around and got off the peaceful Cherry Creek [...]

  A Day, A Day

  Posted on May 29, 2008 by gigigriffis in other

  What a long hard day. And not over. Not nearly over. It’s that feeling–you know the one–when you have looked at something far too long and can no longer even formulate solutions to the problems there. In good news, I’m halfway through the html for the hush-hush project. In bad news, the other half has [...]
