These are oh, three of my favorite things: The Victorian Trading Company : It’s expensive, but you can get pretty good deals every so often. Their Halloween stuff is most excellent. I get at least one thing every year. This year may well be the Apothecary Jars (with Poison labeling …
So this summer, my husband got sun poisoning by being out on the lake, having the boat break down (he was with friends whose boat it was) and forgetting sunblock. What is sun poisoning? He was sick for over a week, developed blisters all along his arms that sweated something …
I could not for the life of me really get twitter for quite some time. I’m longwinded. I’m verbose. I write and talk a lot. Twitter was too short and I didn’t have a lot of folks I knew on there who used it regularly. Then through someone on Reverb …
http://point7.wordpress.com/2011/07/24/google-the-pseudonym-banstick-and-the-netizen-cultural-schism/ I don’t like being told how I am supposed to use technology, I like to decide for myself. Same thing happened when I was a kid—I didn’t want to build a house, I wanted to build the Enterprise. SO? I’d rather use a handle than my real name …
I can’t believe I’m putting this picture on the intarwebz considering how much of a freak out thing I have about seeing unsolicited feet, but… I bought some bespoke shoes after years of looking at shoes/boots like these at various faires as a playtron and participant and after purchasing some …
I hate chain letters. I hated them when they came through snail mail, back when I was a kid and I hated them when I’d get them on compuserve. I hated them back in the concentric days and I hate them now. Cannot believe people forward things that say “you’ll …
“When talking about tattoo culture in the United States, it has personally become difficult for me not to think about gender and its role in the culture. Why is it so astounding for society to witness a tattooed woman in this supposedly modern day and age? Then there are other …
Just watchin TV, reading on my kindle, cleaning the house and wondering about interviewing. Just got Spotify set up. Trying that one out. Different than Pandora, but that might be good. After awhile several of my stations started to sound much alike. Only two weeks left of vacation. …
What is it that makes us grow up. What if we never do. What if we like the same things we liked and what if we don’t? What if we wish we could do it all over and what if we don’t? Why would we spend the late late night …
nothing much else to say. Playing with Google+, tweaking settings on my blog. Looking forward to having friends over for a cookout tomorrow. I did figure out that one goal for the next year is to live more and be consumed with work a bit less. More balance. I can’t …
As usual, I am at the halfway point and I’m running out of words. And as usual, thinking of dropping out of 30 posts in 30 days. And as usual I’m having issues with my site—Mainly an automatic wordpress upgrade went through, around the same time as an ‘upload later’ …
So we signed Bean up for a camp but she was having trouble connecting with one of the counselors and got into some mean girls situations. We had a long talk, J the Bean and I and we discussed both perserverence and cutting your losses. After all—the camp thing was …
Well I have to weigh in. I have great hopes for google +. The interface is cleaner, the privacy controls are MUCH better and while there are things to work out (that’s why it is a Beta folks!) it is relatively fully formed from the get go. I understand why …
So some of the crazy girl shit has started. One girl lies about something my daughter said (but she didn’t) to another girl and then they tell another and suddenly she’s ganged up on. Or instead of saying oops a girl blames the Bean for her mistake. And how about …
and I have another migraine. I’m just here to say, I posted. And I’m always happy to write about my kidlet. Here is a recent pic from Bean’s GT class. When other kids got shy, she volunteered to speak first. She tells me she doesn’t even get nervous before she …
Well then, I almost forgot to write this. I guess I should do it before think about it too much to make any sense. I was thinking and talking tonight to my friend L about how friendships change. And this is probably a deeper subject than I’m capable of dealing …
