I've been told that my Google Reader shared items are fun... Who was it that wanted me to share it with them? Was it you?

For reference, they usually include a huge number of lolcats, a smattering of cool gadgets, pretty pictures, and the occasional feminist or political article.

Vera's Shared Items

Have I mentioned recently that my mother started a new musical group called Russian Duo? Well, their CD just got added to CD Baby today!

In other news, Mom did a podcast for the American Orff Schulwerk Association about the Dalcroze Eurythmics related class she'll be teaching in November. [direct mp3 link]

My brother took me to a Cavaliers game. I asked who they were playing and Ben didn't know. So tonight I find out that they're playing the Portland Blazers. Great! The only two teams in all of the NBA that I actually care about and they're both playing. Who do I root for?

The State of the Vera Address is up at Flying Tiger this time.

Stacy came up from Portland to visit this weekend. We did vacationy things like frolicking in Seward Park, visiting Pike Place and watching lots of Stargate SG-1. We ended up making the most decadent dinner I've had in quite some time last night ( Read more... )

I have a new favorite webcomic (puppy, food, color, etc.) every so often... I just found a new one last night: Gunnerkrigg CourtIt's yet another zany adventure comic set in a magical school somewhere in England with a plucky (and very special and magical) lead character and an equally plucky (and complimentary in personality) best friend. But it ( Read more... )

Update on the sleep problem: Nights when I have tea before bed, I sleep a lot better than nights that I don't have tea. Therefore, I should have tea before bed every night.

Today! I went with Matt and his parents to NorthWesTrek. I was all excited about the big cats and the wolves, but they ended up being rather boring. We saw a lynx, a ( Read more... )

I didn't mention in previous entries, but now I feel that I should:

-Dinner last night included SPAM SUSHI that ibnfirnas and I dared each other to eat. It wasn't nearly as horrifying as I had expected. Perhaps I will eat more fried spam in the future?

-I have myself set up on Skype now (I'm sure you can figure out my screen name) because Matt's cell ( Read more... )
