Scorpion Death Match!

nobody@vox.com(AmyH) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:37:39 -0700

Just like an overhyped pay-per-view boxing match, the very first Scorpion Death Match was anticlimatic and over before it began. I got home last night around 10:30 p.m. after a night of high theater - Nearly Naked's "Reefer Madness". It was hila...

Gladiator Games - Scorpion Style

nobody@vox.com(AmyH) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:07:18 -0700

There's an email chain going on with my friends who were at my house a few nights ago when I had a captured scorpion in a Tupperware container. Just to jog your memory, Jeff's girlfriend Patricia took it home to see if it could survive being in a...

Resolution Challenged: Slacker Edition 6/16-6/22

nobody@vox.com(AmyH) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 09:36:55 -0700

I'm such a slacker I'll do a post and the RC in one. Efficiency, baby. I slept until near noon yesterday, and would have slept even longer had a friend not called. It's embarrassing to be asked if you were woken up when it's 11:30 a.m. I was rea...

Team Elvis: 4 Scorpion Invaders: 0 #3 - In the kitchen, with a vegetable peeler (Friday night) #4 - In the study, with a hockey puck. (Saturday night) Yeah, I wasn't creative for #4, which was a repeat of #2. I went in the den and noticed a stran...

Reason #1 I Do NOT Heart Tempe

nobody@vox.com(AmyH) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:21:05 -0700

Ah, the first scorpion of spring. Elvis alerted me to its presence, wedged in the track of my patio door, with only its stinger-y tail sticking out. I would post a picture, but its demise was swift and violent. No time for a 'before' pic, and t...

Today was the public opening for the new Tempe Center for the Arts, a $66 million jewel of a performing arts facility. I am lucky enough to be in one of the resident groups so I was on hand for today's festivities. Our group, the Arizona Wind S...

Scorpions on a Plane!

nobody@vox.com(AmyH) — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 12:08:41 -0700
