So after this weekend, with the hacking and the whatnot, today I get an email from livejournal saying that someone has logged into my account from an unknown location, and I should check and make sure it's legit. So I check the log, and the one that's flagged, is, of course, me ( Read more... )

My inbox is overflowing, there are way too many spammy posts, and I now have a bunch new "friends" in the spam business.

All of this to say, I'm really sorry about what you all must have seen littering your friends lists this weekend. That's what I get for trying to decide if I should switch to another journal service (or tumblr...)

Try to go to Denver, have a tropical storm. Try to go to London, have a snow storm. Why do I bother? How is my timing this fantastic?

Travel plans officially canceled. Water bottles and jugs filled up. Lighters and candles at the ready. Frankly, if this turns out to be nothing at this point I will be pissed (glad that everything turned out okay, but still pissed). Here we go.

I've started watching The Mentalist, and it is brilliant. It reminds me a lot of Life, but this time with apparently no fear of cancellation. Simon Baker is fantastic as Patrick Jane. I love it ( Read more... )

I went Spanish wine tasting today (shocking, right?) and tasted some lovely lovely things--for free! I splurged on a 10 year old bottle of red (since the 20 was just a bit out of my price range...) and of course brought home a white rioja (7 year old, very oxidized and actually reminds me a little of a nice red, rather than a white). These both ( Read more... )

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!!! Today I will be wearing bright green and gold eyeshadow to go with my Packers sweatshirt, which is the only gear I have. :-( Last night I took myself out on a date to the Red Lobster for raspberry margaritas (these are divine!) and managed to hit a lovely pothole on Route 1 and blow out a tire, which meant ( Read more... )

I've been trying to be so good about my resolutions, so naturally I freaked out at the grocery store and bought and made brownies and then devoured them. Currently I am feeling guilty...but content. :-)

Also, this weekend I learned that I cannot line dance worth a crap. But I may still go back for more. Supposedly, I can now do this: Four on the ( Read more... )

Well, it is now one month since I moved back to the US, and I think I can fairly solidly say that I have the blues about this. I am bored in my new job, I despise the east coast, and I am contemplating moving back to Europe. My mother recommended a good cry and some wine. It is fairly nice, for a Chardonnay:

Tomorrow is my last day at my current job. I gave notice THREE MONTHS ago, and the time dragged on until abruptly two weeks ago it started to fly by. I haven't even found the time to expound upon my love of all things Burn Notice, and Saturday I leave to see as much of eastern Europe as I can in just three weeks, before coming back, packing up my ( Read more... )
