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 …
I’m not sure I can post anything even vaguely coherent tonight because…because… Max Raabe und das Palast Orchester spielen in Austin Texas im Februar !!! And dammit we are going. We ARE going!!James is going to buy a suit or maybe he should rent a tux?! and I’m going …
I clean and organized lots in the kitchen today. I did massive amounts of paperwork. Also I made the MOST AMAZING coconut milk, chocolate, cinnamon ice cream, Used a little bit of honey, quite a bit of erythritol and some Watson’s double vanilla. Voila—tastes much like Mitchell’s Mexican Chocolate ice …
I’m not actually sure how the Non November Nablopomo works. Do I have to follow the theme of “Swimâ€, respond to the prompts as in Reverb 10 or can I still write whatever on those days I need to write whatever? Have you ever had one of those days where …
That’s all for tonight folks. We didn’t swim today because we think the pool was closed. Didn’t look too closely though. Tomorrow will be swimming and sunburning likely.
