It’s one of those days. Days I’m just too tired. I can’t think of what to write, so I’m going to do that thing that I learned to do with kids… I might send them to One Word and get them thinking about one word and writing about it for …
Better get this up there quick. Getting down to the wire because I/we’ve been cleaning and cooking all day. I swear that child walks around the house with jam on her hands and arms akimbo making a kids high streak around the entire house. Thank god for magic erasers. …
Came home bummed again. Yes this is a refrain. I’m not sure if it is just needing the break or something more. I think it might be something more. J suggested we go to dinner and see Puss in Boots. We all love the crazy kitty with Antonio Banderas’ voice …
it’s Monday and I’m disheartened, so I’m going to show you a few of my favorite things. Dr. Steel. I’ve come across him off and on over the last few years, but I’m saddened to know he isn’t doing his show any longer. And I love Steampunk, an …
I thought that while I was thinking about whether or not to join nablopmo this year—I’ve been doing it since the beginning—at least every November—I should get something up here just in case. On the pro side, I’ve done it every year and it does give a feeling of accomplishment. …
Haru before keyboard, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. Subtitled Why I can’t Blog tonight. She wants to sit and be petted and I don’t really need to be doing anything other than that.
I’m going to start moving my fingers. Moving my fingers and writing some words. I don’t know what I’m going to say, but I know I need a bit of catharsis. I’ll start with the yuck and move on. I do not know how to deal with this one person. …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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 …
