When I die I already plan on being undead. What better way to face a massive and terrifying fear of death?My fear of death is no joke. I'm no longer ashamed ... http://www.denisesisko.com/?p=82 I'm here for the first time in months to post so, obviously, this is very important to me. It's been over 12 hours and I'm still completely giddy. Look below for video of my closest companion and dearest friend running his 10 second turbo Civic.  It was his first time at the ... http://www.denisesisko.com/?p=81 [gallery=7] http://www.denisesisko.com/?p=80 I wanted concrete floors and picked the wrong guy to install them.  Haven't lived in my own home for over a month now.  This has been somewhat stressful but it's not the worst thing that's ever happened to me by far and I've been handling it pretty well.  By that ... http://www.denisesisko.com/?p=79 I know not all of you do it - but a lot of you do.

I was in ... http://www.denisesisko.com/?p=77 So, my cat and I auditioned for a game show Saturday. I keep giving that opening, hoping it sounds strange and interesting only to realize that nothing sounds either strange or interesting, anymore. Such is life in the new millennium. • • • • • • • • • • • • • ... http://www.denisesisko.com/?p=76 I talked to Eddie Izzard - my all-time favorite performer - last night at Tampa Theatre. OK, so by "talked to" I mean that I was able to ask him a question at one of his infamous Q&A sessions after the show - but still. I have never been so completely star-struck. ... http://www.denisesisko.com/?p=75 I want to know everything. I'm not one of those "oh, maybe I'll look that up when I get home," folks.
