A.S. has the barfing flu. Is there anything worse? He called me from the bathroom floor last night, begging for help. So after I emerged from my warm cocoon of down and wooly socks (post-fox hunting thaw-out nap… so delicious) and went over to ply him with Gatorade and pat-pats, there-there’s.
Isn’t it weird how whenever […]

I’ve been debating all weekend about whether I should actually take this new job. I actually really love what I’m doing (writing for a living) and I looooove the people I work with (Nerve Cell excluded). I’m going to miss Little Miss Nobody extremely, but she promises to still go running with me and eat […]

I got the job! They just had me in for an incredibly inconveniently timed second interview (deadline week is NOT a good time to leave the office) and offered me almost 50% more than I’m making now. He said a bunch of other stuff too, but I stopped listening after he said they’ll give an […]

I. am. so. tired. I. may. die.
Pulled an all nighter in order to appease editor re: this in-depth story. I’m not sure it was worth it. The idea of going home and sleeping makes me want to weep.
The way my heart is racing, I don’t think I should have anymore caffeine.
And I have two more […]

Woo is eating her dinner, finally, which is wonderful since she hasn’t been feeling well this week. She’s kept me awake the last couple of nights pacing and barfing. My vet thinks she probably ate something vile in the woods last Sunday, which sounds suspiciously like something Woo would do. She’s a terrible scavenger.
Apparently old […]

I am writing my first ever post from my newly modernized apartment. Yes, I finally have DSL. I was so excited getting the box, it was like Christmas… in Meheeco. Because all the damned directions were in espanol.
And then I found out the only phone jack in my ghetto apartment that functions is the one […]

Musical Roads: In Japan, the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has embedded grooves into sections of roads which boom a tune up through cars. They’re in the process of planning different melodies for different locations, picking songs that are somehow associated with the locale.

In the past month (mentally counting) FIVE of A.S.’s and my mutual friends have gotten engaged. And another friend was expected to propose to his girlfriend last night.I’m not counting on going down that road anytime soon, especially because Architecture Student is still, duh, a student with another year of school. And a thesis year […]

Just had a CT scan on my sinuses and my neck still hurts from the horrible pose they fold you into for 15 minutes while they tinker with their giant cancer-making machine. They asked me so many times whether I was pregnant, I started to get paranoid that I was. Why can’t they just put […]

This is The Bean. Isn’t she edible? I love that the pumpkin is bigger than she is.
