Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has just never appealed to me as a book, but the movie versions and graphic novels have held up much better for my tastes. Tim Burton and I have years of a love-hate relationship. I love his visual style but often find myself hating much of the rest. (Only Sleepy Hollow [...]

Who’s a liar? Me!
I told you that you have until Thursday to vote, I lied…I missed color. I am depressed this theme doesn’t have any decent functionality but if I am still blogging in a year I have committed to learning how to write code and I will build my own kiss-ass site…until then I will just have [...]

Haikus on the Death of a Vacuum
Moved the couch, oh god!
What the hell is that down there?
Too scary too touch!
Floor is so dirty
Dust bunny tribes waging war
We miss the vacuum

“Cell phone is ringing.
Who could it be? A hot date?
Wrong number. This blows.”

Must learn to pace myself
We don’t have cable. I have never been able to justify the cost. I know, to most people it is like not having air, or electricity, or running water. How to we accomplishing this feat of stone-age living? We have the Internet and Netflix. I actually can’t deal with watching shows week to week any [...]

Yipes! the car is almost here.
SQUEAK!
I am having heart palpitations! James just told me that the Smart car we were not supposed to get until next November (what we were told when we put our name on the waiting list in July) is now going to be delivered sometime in the next two months. Ugh. Do these people have no [...]

It’s my Birthday, which is way more important than an election
No posts today of any significance as they only thing I did today that mattered was voted; other than that I read a dragon fantasy novel with no educational value guilt free in my pj’s in under a day. (Thanks for the book loan Cassandra, it was swell.) I took a whole day off from [...]

Science is Neat – Behold the power of Surface Tension!
I have been trying my best to teach myself chemistry for the past couple of weeks. I was pretty proud that when I noticed that I had over-filled one of my tiny kitchen window pots (the water was well over the top of the saucer and wasn’t spilling) and my first thought was about the [...]

Living in a small appartment
I bought these spice containers at Bed Bath and Beyond when we first moved to Boston and I still love them as much as I did the first day. My mom uses them too now. We labeled the canisters and it is now very easy to see when we are running low 0n any spices [...]

I feel strongly that this blog has been more successful than I could have hoped for at this point in the process. Each day I receive new hits from a wide variety of very random places. I don’t have to do nearly as much “work” as I once did to get the word out about [...]
