Hey all. In the past seventy-two hours I have, among other things: Read a stunningly amazing book by beelavender; Witnessed a six-foot pink bunny rabbit marry the deceased (but well-preserved, with her head sewn back on) Marie Antoinette; Along with several colleagues, hosted a fantastic and seasonally appropriate talk by the debonair Garth Nix, and [...]

So I was on the way to my trapeze class and first One Night in Bangkok, then West End Girls came on the radio, and I was amused and abashed to realize that I still knew all the words to each one, and was feeling kinda old and geeky, and then I thought, wait, I’m [...]

I put a few more Spain photos up, over on Flickr. Marino, the ones with you in them are coming soon. :)

Yeah, I know, you’re tough and everything. Stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers is still not an optimal choice for reading on your lunch break.

Due to impending crud, watched movies: The Aristocrats, which I highly recommend, Land of the Dead, which I don’t particularly, and a Spanish thriller [...]

What (if anything) are y’all going to be for Halloween? (Or any Halloween-type event…)

In the previous incarnation of my blog, I wrote about The Annoying Woman At My Gym Who Gives Liberals A Bad Name. Is there a term like dittohead, that one could apply to blind followers of Michael Moore? Anyway, you can no doubt recognize the type. So at my gym, there’s been a slight fee [...]

So I was sure I’d made it back onto Pacific time. I went back to work, did a training, had a meeting, macheted through a ridiculous amount of email…and then collapsed on the couch at 7 pm. I’ll get around to posting photos one of these days, but in the meantime, check out the ones [...]

Those of you who’ve been reading my site for a while may have noticed that the address and design have changed. The bad news: the last few years’ worth of my (admittedly, typically very short) posts are gone. *shrug* The good news: now I’ve submitted to the inevitable, and am completely immersed in the wonderful [...]
