I (guess) I went to Chicago…

And I hit up the hobby lobby. And a Barnes and Noble.

I got 2 balls of sugar and cream cotton dishcloth yarn. For knitting dishcloths. A diagonal garter stitch dishcloth (and a pattern to make my very own), some bulky plymouth alpaca yarn, lots of lifesavers, what I THINK is a chicago cubs cap but [...]

college and television

I am watching Reaper on the CW (ktla5 for the people in souther california). It’s cracking me up. Which is good, because I only found out about it last week when I decided to buy a TV Guide so I wouldn’t miss the new shows. And it was at that point that I discovered it [...]

BTT: (dis)Comfort Food

Imagine that everything is going just swimmingly. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and all’s right with the world. You’re practically bouncing from health and have money in your pocket. The kids are playing and laughing, the puppy is chewing in the cutest possible manner on an officially-sanctioned chew toy, and in between [...]

4:30 am and all is NOT well

because…
I am rather wide awake. There’s a tiredness that I can feel seeping into my bones. Like fungus, tiredness is barely visable above the surface, but it’s hungry little tendrils are latching on to my substrates and sucking the life out of me– but I cannot sleep.
Sigh.
Maybe I am making up excuses not to go [...]

BTT: On the fly

Okay . . . picture this (really) worst-case scenario: It’s cold and raining, your boyfriend/girlfriend has just dumped you, you’ve just been fired, the pile of unpaid bills is sky-high, your beloved pet has recently died, and you think you’re coming down with a cold. All you want to do (other than hiding under the [...]

10 Cities You Could Live In

This Tuesday is 10 cities you could live in. It’s a pretty interesting question.

London, UK. I really loved the way London felt. I liked knowing that just about anything was within a certain amount of distance, the pace, the heartbeat, the thrill of it all. Old rubbing up against new, history and technology all shoulder [...]

halloween: rob zombie

I hate the ‘bully’ defense. You know, the columbine ‘they were bullied, it’s not their fault’ or worse, the kid here in Lancaster who took a baseball bat to his friend’s head and then claimed that the kid had perpetually bullied him?? Thats a crap defense– I was bullied, I had freaking sticks and stones [...]

First day jitters

Tomorrow’s my first day at the ‘big house.’
I’m a little scared and have a dizzying array of things whizzing around my brain like:

I need to see the health people and get my MMR because my mother lost my records. And since I am in a CalStateUniversity and not a junior college, I need proof. ugh.
I [...]
