Always Prepared

January 12, 2010 Dear Diary

I was leaving Dunkin’ Donuts on Friday morning and I passed by this guy on line.  I just got a look at him out of the corner of my eye, and I could swear it was Joss Whedon.  I love Joss Whedon. I froze. I panicked. I didn’t want a repeat of the Kevin Smith [...]

Internet Sanity?

January 7, 2010 Dear Diary

Fight, debate, discuss–whatever you want to call it, I generally like to do it. Maybe it’s just a lot of high school Government/debate classes, but I can generally pick a side and argue it until I am blue in the face.
Sometimes its stuff I actually care about, but really – I have been known to [...]

A Year In Review

December 30, 2009 Blogging

I’ve been off of work since the day before Christmas Eve, and I’ve lost all track of time.  Frank leaves on Sunday for some crazy non-existent island, and since we decided to finally spend a New Year’s Eve at home,  I didn’t realize what day it was, until I looked through my Google Reader and [...]

There’s less than a hundred of you…

December 29, 2009 Blogging

If you click through (assuming you are reading this in an RSS feed) you will see that I moved my blog! Yay! I am now self-hosting (I went with Carolann’s recommendation of wind-powered Fat Cow) and someone awesome from the internet helped me get Thesis up and running. So now, I can use my remaining [...]

Making the Move (Help with self-hosting?)

December 26, 2009 Blogging

A long, long time ago when I started blogging (okay, about a year ago) I had all these existential conversations with Jamie (from A Life In Translation fame) about hosting and self-hosting. Self-hosting just didn’t seem worth it. Would I even keep up with the blog, is it worth the (admittedly, nominal) web space fee? [...]

Christmas Village Update

December 22, 2009 Dear Diary

Back in October, I brought you the heartwarming story of a Jew, an elf and their extended family who wanted to build a Christmas Village.
Sometime this month, against all odds (including two curious cats and and working around the busy social calendar of a 5-year old) we finished our beloved village.
Behold:

Check out the tracks that [...]

Stones Into Schools

December 18, 2009 Everything Else

In April of this year I read Three Cups of Tea and I absolutely adored it. It’s one of those books that just really stuck with me, and changed the way I thought about our global future, and gave me hope that there may be a solution to something that seems so tangled and bleak.

The Secret Life of Eva (or) Nice Ink, Big Dawg!

December 17, 2009 Dear Diary

It’s been about a month since we brought home Eva. She’s arguably the cutest dog in the planet, and I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love her, or how happy I am she lives with us, or how adorable it is how Frank is so in love with this 95-pound package [...]

Terrible Lizards

December 14, 2009 Everything Else

A long time ago, in a life that seems very far away, I was an archaeologist. Or archaeology student. Or aspiring archaeologist. Whatever you want to call it – I did some fieldwork in New York, some in Denmark and interned at the American Museum of Natural History. For a million reasons (only some of [...]

An Open Letter to My Beloved

December 10, 2009 Dear Diary

Dear Love of My Life,
Throughout the year, I listen to you. I try to anticipate your desires and make notes of things you find charming or funny. I monitor your wardrobe to see if you need more sweaters/socks/cologne/t-shirts with funny pictures. I watch you to see if there are ways I can make your life [...]
