anybody want a cat?

2009-11-06T21:06:22Z

you can have mine. I'll even pay the shipping. Here I am, all excited to go to bed early (please ignore the fact that it's Friday, I'm tired!), I walk into my bedroom and start looking for my pajamas when, "oh my, what is that on the towel on my ...

does twitter count for NaBloPoMo?

2009-11-05T06:06:48Z

Because I tweeted yesterday. And not just my horoscope. Argh, day three and I already missed a day. In my defense, I was sad. My mom had been visiting for three weeks and she left yesterday. Saying goodbye was hard, but mostly okay, work was fi...

alternately depressing and motivating

2009-11-03T12:52:00Z

Apparently, this video has been making the rounds, but today was the first I had heard or seen it. Watching this has helped me renew my commitment to do better at consuming less and repurposing more. Now that BossyBoots has left the city for th...

day 2 and I'm already really late

2009-11-02T22:24:34Z

argh. What can I say? Mondays are rough and that was without going to the gym tonight. Yes, I joined one and that gets its own post. Today was ped day, then I gave blood and then it was pub quiz. Last week, we came 3rd, this week it was down to ...

giving up on House

2009-11-01T09:02:35Z

I have loved this show from the start. I watch it, I buy the dvds and watch it again, I talk about it with friends, and push others to watch it. But, this season, it's losing me. It started off absolutely superb with Andre Braugher, but 13 is st...

moon landing

2009-07-20T14:57:23Z

yeah, yeah, I never post. And this one's a cop out because it's a Last Train Home song. Today is the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. I can't even articulate the wonder I feel at watching us walk on the moon. SO, watch this instead. Move...

Once Upon a Curse

2009-06-07T19:09:48Z

This is the last book that I read for the 48 hour Book Challenge. I finished a scoche past 9pm CET. I went to sign in for the Finish Line, but I couldn't find that post, so here I am. I think I ended up reading for about 16 hours. I enjoyed el...

Skeleton Man

I haven't read much by Bruchac, and this one was quite creepy, but I loved Molly and the interweaving of Mohawk lore. Yeah, it went pretty quick.

ghost, the white house, and me

2009-06-07T17:28:15Z

This has been on the "to be read" shelves for a while. Just a quick, not quite a mystery but cute story about adjustment to a new life. KayKay (this nickname drove me nuts and wanted me to smack someone) is the oldest daughter of the first femal...

another 90 towards the total

2009-06-07T14:06:56Z

Just spent an hour and a half reading Haunting at Home Plate by Patneaude and Who's Got Spirit?, part of the How I Survived Middle School? series by Nancy Krulik. One is baseball, the other peer pressure. I thought the Patneaude was better and had...
