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
things i learned from this month’s cosmo
You guys! It’s time to learn things from Cosmo! How exciting! Exclamation point! 1. Let’s get things started with a new and probably one-time-only feature: the in-depth analysis of the cover: The Hot Issue, eh? I wonder if this means that Cosmo will finally start talking about sex. Do you think guys still like blowjobs? … Continue reading
elsewhere
Since I’m obviously not coming up with my own material this week (my brain has been engaged elsewhere, overthinking things that don’t make for good blog fodder), here are some things from other people. Enjoy. 1. Target Women: Dating Advice. Good luck with Al Roker, Sarah Haskins. 2. The 10 Most Bangable Celebrities of 2009. … Continue reading
