Love letter to an ex-girlfriend

July 19th, 2008 · Comments Off

I went back through my posts of the last two months and there isn’t much explicit mention of the best distraction a boy could ask for. I think the first (and one of 2, maybe 3) explicit reference is in the post “Living room talk.” There are certainly several other references that were mostly for [...]

O, most frabjous day

July 8th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Things have sort of “settled down” around here; here being the blog. Related things in my daily life got “interesting” and have only progressed. Today was a most enlightening day. [Yes, Christina, that "interesting" was purposefully vague, and for you.  ] Wow. What to say, or not say? Been working on this for a while [...]

I am a patriot

June 16th, 2008 · Comments Off

I. Am. A. Patriot—not to be confused with a nationalist—but today, once again, I loathe my country and the vast majority of its citizens. This great and grand country and its citizens have once again sent my child to war. I will not forgive you.     Us. Please do not in any way misunderstand [...]

Shh!

May 13th, 2008 · 6 Comments

I got a quick IM from a friend the other night wondering how I was doing as I have been quiet lately. Yes. Yes I have. There are a lot of reasons for this. Some of it is lack of time to do all the things I’d like to. There are probably other reasons, too, [...]

What have I been up to?

April 20th, 2008 · 3 Comments

What a question. I feel like I need a recap of some of it myself sometimes. I hope to have some semi-substantial blog posts and/or Flickr sets for some of these but I’d like to get them mentioned before they all become old news. [some kind of division] Been watching a fair few movies, started [...]

Almost the day : Birthday Month update

February 19th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Today has been a fairly laid-back day. Considering. I got up at 10-ish and have been on slow ever since. Pauline & Kathryn’s class was having a reading day and I decided to forego more Protégé work this evening in Allen’s class. We will be doing more next week. So I have been giving myself [...]

February 11th, 2008 · 7 Comments

I don’t normally do such things for myself (or so much for others either) but I decided to have myself a little birthday party at one of my favorite local establishments.
