So!  I'm back from Switzerland, and it was absolutely gorgeous.

I feel like the most boring person ever, but mostly it's just because I've been really busy.  The roadtrip went extremely well - you know it's been a good weekend when you get home to find one of those "so-and-so has tagged you in five million pictures!" notifications from Facebook, and you only really know what's going on in about half of them, ( Read more... )

So my brother brought home a friend from college over the weekend, and the kid is six foot six and wears shoes that are size sixteen and a half. When I first saw his shoes sitting on the floor I stood there and stared, because they were over twice as long as my feet and very nearly skis. And then there was a horrifying moment where my brother ( Read more... )

Okay, so when I said my grandma jokes about her sex life in public?  She just proved me right again.  She invited me over for dinner tonight, and we were talking about her husband, who has a pretty obvious wound on his head from some recent surgery, and she said that whenever anyone asks what happened, she just says, "Kinky sex!"  Given that she's ( Read more... )

Long story short, I really need some happy-making things. So! These are the things currently making me happy:

1. My grandma called this morning to tell me how much she loved Juno. Hee. She said she didn't understand some of the language, but she thought it was hilarious anyway. My grandma is the most inappropriate person I know (she makes ( Read more... )

Most of the time, living in the country is fun - like this morning, when I had to stop and let a flock of wild turkeys cross the road - but sometimes it's just weird.

My grandma was in charge of pie-bringing on Thanksgiving, and for whatever reason, she chose to make pecan instead of pumpkin.  My family was a little disappointed to have Thanksgiving ( Read more... )

Oh, man.  I feel like I have a bunch of stuff to say, but I know I won't remember it all.  For some reason I feel a little out of it with fandom, even though nothing has happened.

Anyway, first of all, the recent J2-ness all over my flist has been pretty much the best thing ever.  I was having a totally awful day on Saturday (three hours of sleep, ( Read more... )

I love how my entire perception of the world has been so completely skewed by Supernatural that getting an email from Stanford about their MBA program made me immediately go, "Eee, Stanford!" and I had to remind myself that it's just a school and Sam Winchester is not and never was a student there.  *facepalm ( Read more... )

Today has just been one of those days where I pause and go, "Is this really my life?" because it pretty much feels like an acid trip.

For example, I went into work today hoping to get an article done for the magazine and instead got drafted into herding hordes of tourists into a greenhouse to see a rare flower that's blooming.  Okay, first of all?  ( Read more... )

After I graduate college, I'm building myself a cabin in Alaska so far from civilization that the only person I see is the pilot who flies in a few groceries each week.  At least, that's what I may start telling people, because I really cannot handle the way everyone and their brother keeps asking me what my plans are.  I don't know, people!  If I ( Read more... )
