things have happened
These posts always start the same way: I really didn’t intend to fall off the face of the internet. And it’s true. I didn’t. Oh sure, I kinda was around Flickr, and I posted a status update or several on Facebook, and I pinned things on Pinterest, but this blog thing… well, I kinda forgot … Continue reading
how i spent my summer vacation
Okay, I’m not in school so I don’t get summer vacation anymore, but I’ve been spending some time away from here, partly because my internet is broken all the time, and partly because it’s summer, and screw it, I already spend all day at work looking at a computer, so I’m not doing it when … Continue reading
things i learned from my mother
It’s Mother’s Day today and I realized this morning that I very rarely write about my mother on my blog (except perhaps in passing), which is odd, since my mother is the single most influential person in my life. I love my mom. And the great thing is that when I say “I love my … Continue reading
quick hits (lord knows i love a numbered list)
1. Last week I went to see The Black Keys. I’ve loved them for awhile, due to my friend Jason, who once sent me their entire music catalog (at the time) on CD, and I listened for a few minutes and thought “Oh. Oh my.” So, thanks to my Australian friend for introducing me to … Continue reading
reasons to live (a project, of sorts)
This past week, a friend of mine (and an all-around amazing person) tried to end her life, but fortunately the attempt was unsuccessful. This morning, when I had a quiet moment, I got to thinking (as I often do) about life. Sometimes it just seems so big. Too long. Too uncertain. Incredibly difficult and exhausting. … Continue reading
the thankful list, 2011
I didn’t make a list last year, because I was doing that NaBloPoMo thing and had to get something posted before midnight but I’d found myself at the end of the day with no time to write a list. It’s okay, though I missed doing it, and I decided this year to return to form, … Continue reading
because of the daffodils
Oops, I’ve gotten boring again. Sorry about that, loves. I mean, I don’t think I’m boring, but my blog certainly is. I can’t guarantee that this will be help alleviate the boredom, but at least it will be a post. Here’s a quick update: 1. Oops, maybe I shouldn’t get dressed in the dark, because … Continue reading
things i accomplished today
1. Drank coffee. 2. Watched this video: (This is a cartoon version of a conversation Greg and I had when we were coming up with Iron Photographer elements — and coming up with Iron Photographer elements is something that’s a bit involved, but fortunately I already wrote about it here and here. I bet you … Continue reading
words words words
Last night, I was trying to fall asleep (this is more difficult sometimes than others) and I couldn’t because I thought “You know, people don’t say ‘flummoxed’ enough.” And then I started thinking of other words I wish I heard more, which turned into a series of thoughts about words I like and words I … Continue reading
unemployment benefits
In letting my blog lapse into a coma, I seem to have missed a very important anniversary: I have been unemployed for more than a year now! [Insert cheers and confetti.] Among the people I know, I’m sort of the grizzled veteran of joblessness. (Except not grizzled. Still rather fabulous, really.) So many people I … Continue reading
