My land is bare of chattering folk;

the clouds are low along the ridges, and sweet’s the air with curly smoke from all my burning bridges. Dorothy Parker (1893 – 1967), SANCTUARY Welly well. I’m sitting down and having a beer before my Spring break. Not the Spring break of my 2nd graduate degree, but the spring …

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.~Oscar Wilde

I love Oscar Wilde. A bisexual who irritated everyone. Hmmm… So yeah I pissed off a few people with my last post. It’s not the first post I got email on from random people on the internet but hey…I got some. . Why did my er…anti Valentine’s post bug people. …

“How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.~Oscar Wilde

Just dropping in to say that any second now I’m going to find my rhythm and start writing here regularly again. It’s been quite a transition to go from the insanity of school to working full time. It’s an improvement on so many levels, but now we need to find …

Blindsided by music

The following outpouring brought on by watching Emily dance unreservedly to Clementine by Pink Martini. If I ever get my video rendering capabilities up to snuff I’ll post a link here. Just trust me-it is 7 year old interpretive dance at its best. You know-remember how YOU felt being seven …

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice. ~T.S. Eliot

New year, new design. I’ve actually been playing with that a lot lately. I like the last one but it was too dark. The one before that had some other issues with fonts that didn’t want to be fixed I really like this one, it’s very Steampunk and I think …

Only by acceptance of the past will you alter its meaning. ~T.S. Eliot

Ah where have I been? I have been enjoying the hell out of the swine flu. I’ve had fever and barfing and all sorts of horrible other things for the past almost week. I’m still so fatigued I can barely move. We’re so behind on Xmess I don’t know how …

So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.~Sidney Poitier

First random thing: I would like to like the show Eastwick because 1) the redhead witch was on Eureka a show I love 2)The actor who plays Darryl the Satan character was in this WONDERFUL PBS/Sundance show called Slings and Arrows. Which I LOVED. 3) I adore the other redhead …

So let it be written

Well I did it. Finished one thing   And quit the M.A.T. I started off this month joking, somewhat. kind of about ‘seeing how many times I wanted to quit.” Since I felt like the program was just too much. I didn’t understand how you could give everything the school …

just a little something

for my classroom management course.Sigh. I did some cool things, had some great ideas. http://mrsmartini.weebly.com/ Also trying scribefire for this post. And considering deleting zotero since I don’t need it anymore. That would have been a somewhat interesting thesis if it hadn’t been the craziest way to put one together …

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. ~Thomas Jefferson

Starting over, starting over but with some skills. Starting over but with a LOT of skills. Starting over with even more information. I am looking forward to the next thing. I wish I had more to say today but I made the mistake of eating a milk based cheese sauce …

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither,

deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.” J.R.R. Tolkien   I can’t get out of the habit of reading YA fiction …
