In Which I Hack Jenna's Blog

11/21/08 09:19 PM Filed in: Stories
Current Status: Causing Mischief!

That’s right, folks. Ashley and I took Jenna’s blog hostage. After hacking her account, we decided we would write a blog post (from her perspective) while she and Joey were in the car on their way to Iowa. After doing some preliminary research (i.e. reading old blog articles by her, stealing perviously used pictures of Henry, thinking up stories Jenna would tell, etc.), we recalled her aforementioned affection for the cows near the Kansas Turnpike. This was our target.


That’s right, Jenna. We’re both on your blog right now!


We sat on the Grandparent’s couch and hammered out a post for JennaWoestman.com in less than thirty minutes.

Our soon to be infamous blog post is HERE!

Unnecessary Quotation Marks

11/17/08 12:51 PM Filed in: Indiscriminate
I have this thing where I “can’t stand” it when people use quotation marks unnecessarily (unless it’s for ironic purposes, of course). So, of course, when I saw this sign, it was one of the happiest moments of my life.



There is an entire blog dedicated to the exploiting the misuses of quotation marks. Check it out here.

New Posts On Dave and Alex's Happy Fun-Time Blog

11/13/08 09:50 PM Filed in: Indiscriminate
Since I have yet to take the time to route the Dave and Alex’s Happy Fun-Time Blog RSS feed into this blog, I’ll just have to include links to my most recent posts on the blog. Here you go.

Things I’ve Seen, Pt. 3

Things I’ve Seen, Pt. 4

Things I’ve Heard, Pt. 2

Read up. I strongly suggest Things I’ve Heard, Pt. 2, which relates to recent ridiculous comments on the election. Gotta love ‘em!

My Claim to Fame

11/08/08 11:09 PM Filed in: Indiscriminate
So, today I posted on Jenna’s blog. It was my very first guest appearance, and it was pretty great. She totally doesn’t even know what I wrote yet, which is the best part. (It pays to know your sister’s password, I tell you what.)

Don’t worry ... I was actually doing her a favor, since she needs to post every single day during the month of November to be eligible for something thing. I noticed she hadn’t posted yet today, so I posted for her. It’s as easy as that.

Here’s my post.

My "Second" Publication

06/15/08 12:24 PM Filed in: Indiscriminate
Well, it's happened again! I submitted a picture to The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks a few weeks back, and it's just recently been added to the site! This one was on a ramp (obviously) in a homeless shelter some friends and I were volunteering at in Dayton, Ohio. It was in the Employees Only section, so it doesn't get seen too often, but I was lucky enough to witness it :). (Aren't you glad we have cameras on our cell phones?)



As a side note, I just realized I don't even have a link to The Blog under my favorite blogs! Sorry, Bethany. I'm fixing that now!

I Got "Published"

04/29/08 06:56 PM Filed in: Indiscriminate
How many of you have visited The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks (henceforth referred to as "The Blog")? I peruse it frequently, especially when I need to be distracted from homework or just need to laugh at others' lack of proper punctuation.

A few months ago, over Christmas break, I was visiting my sweet Grandma in her Waterloo retirement facility. They had a sign up that immediately made me think of The Blog. I took a picture on my phone and emailed it to myself for submittal later. Sure, it was cold and icy outside, and it was a facility for older folks, so I can understand why they would tell us to use caution. It appears as though they weren't sure what type of caution we should use, if any real caution at all, so they did what any self-respecting sceptic would have done in the situation; add quotation marks!

Just today I received an email from Bethany saying she used my picture on The Blog! Thanks, Bethany!
