~Thoreau (right?) Somehow I always want to attribute this to the Die Blechtrommel. I march to a very different drum. Part of this has to do with my past. It wasn’t easy and that is a considerable understatement. I hope, in the near future to be able to work with …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

There are reasons I like facebook. This being posted is one. “I was doing an interview with Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche recently, and I asked him the question: “Rinpoche, you have been living in the west for some time now, and you know western people well. What do you think is …
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 …
I have an interview or two or three. I have about 10 resumes out there, and have started getting positive responses back. I’m so excited to be going back to work. I did enjoy using my brain and effort in the M.A.T. program–I just didn’t like the fact that there …
Edited–WHY did this post in January? Sheesh. Today is world AIDs day. Get tested if you are at risk. Take care of yourselves–we’ve lost too many wonderful folk. Planet 51 is a cute movie. J, Em and I went this weekend and it was so cool to just hang out …
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 …
Almost finished with nablopomo. More than almost over the side trip into education I thought was the main voyage. More than almost ready to be hired. I’m ready! Almost ready to start working out again. Almost ready to start writing again. More than almost ready for what is next.
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 …
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 …
We went out for Fangsgiving for the first time in um….well more than 7 years. The Bean was sad at first said it wouldn’t be “the right way,” but we convinced her that it needed to be this way this year. After snuggles and some tears it was fine. We …
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 …
