In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

Yahoo counted me as a "cool person" from 1997-2001. How far have I fallen?!

December 2, 2008 Space Invaders Invaded My Office
Space Invaders on the wall in my officeI ordered some classic video game decals from Etsy to cover some of my blank, white office walls.

Space Invaders was my brother's and my favorite game in 1982 when my mom (who was a waitress at the time) spent approx $225 to buy us the Atari 2600. We were the first kids in our neighborhood to own one. We played Space Invaders for 6-8 hours at a time, until we had blisters on our fingers.

I'm not going to talk about how much time I spent trying to get all of these guys lined up straight. (And they're still not entirely straight...)
