500) I just noticed that I made my 500th entry yesterday. Predictably, I was babbling about a TV show! Apparently my paid time has run out, and I'm feeling to cheap to pay for it right now... so thank goodness I already uploaded a Kahlan icon. (Bad ass Mother Confessor, baby!) Not that I probably won't cave in about a week anyway ( Read more... )

From today's New York Times:

Orders for "Aretha's Hat" Flood Detroit Milliner

How cool is it that there are still milliners? Few people wear cool hats anymore; I certainly don't have any. There were a couple of old lady's at my church who had Easter hats last year.

Sadly, there was another article about the death of newspapers. If there are no ( Read more... )

OMG "JOURNEY'S END" IS ON SCI-FI RIGHT NOW! I WONDER WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!

Today was my last day of work. It was pretty uneventful. After that I came home intending to finish packing, but I got distracted, i.e., I fell asleep for almost three hours. Whoops. But I had some pizza and watched some Firefly and packed up the car, so now I'm mostly ( Read more... )

Getting ready to leave a place is an odd experience. I don't feel like the reality of the situation ever sets in until I'm actually on the road, and I realize I'm actually going away and not coming back (for good or at least not for awhile). I've now got only week left in Kansas, and as usual, my imminent departure has somehow snuck up on me ( Read more... )

Someone whistled at me from a car when I was walking to the park this evening. I pretended I didn't hear (iPod = plausible deniability) cause stuff like that makes me uncomfortable. I feel like I'm being laughed at, even if I'm likely not. *is paranoid ( Read more... )

Last night we had a)a tornado watch and b)more thunderstorms. So, you know, pretty much the same as every night. The tornado sirens were going off a lot, so naturally I decided to go outside and see what all the fuss was about. You know what I discovered? We have neighbors! Two of the other women from our building also came out to watch the storm, ( Read more... )

Last night we saw Margot & the Nuclear So and So's, d4ni's favorite band. The show was at a smallish bar in Lawrence, the local college town about forty minutes west of home. Normally I don't make a habit of going out on Wednesday nights, but it was so worth the resulting lack of sleep ( Read more... )

Yesterday I got lost on the way home from work. Slightly embarassing, I know, but what can I saw? I'm not from around here ( Read more... )

Last night I made barbeque for dinner, because this is Kansas City, so it's pretty much a requirement. d4ni told me you can tell it's spring when you start eating barbeque more than once a week. I only kind of knew what I was doing, so I looked up a recipe on the internet (thanks Rachel Ray!) and proceeded to half follow it. I learned random ( Read more... )

Thursday afternoon it hailed (just what my poor car needs, more hail spots) and now it's 30-something and snowing! Apparently it was just wishful thinking on my part when I packed up most of my sweaters last weekend. It's mid-April, can't we just have spring weather yet? I mean, if I'd wanted a lots of winter weather, I would've stayed in Montreal ( Read more... )
