Although I'm not from the Lehigh Valley, I take offense at anyone implying what I do and do not know, especially from a second-rate rag like TMC.  But ::shrug::, I can't really be bothered to get my dander up about this judgmental garbage or the fact that the 2004 South Asian tsunami affected a much larger area than Sri Lanka and Phuket (try the ( Read more... )

Does anyone know of any volunteer efforts available right now for Haitian earthquake relief and crisis management?  I'm talking about any charities or programs that are setting up to allow volunteers to travel down to Haiti and help with the relief efforts on the island itself.

If not that, are there any opportunities to help coordinate relief ( Read more... )

I feel bad for not having posted anything recently, but I don’t really know why.  Why I feel bad that is?  I just finished shipping an issue to the printer and I'm gearing up to ship another one in a week's time.  Life, the inconsiderate bitch that it is, sometimes just gets in the way of blogging.  I don't know.  Maybe it’s the vain desire to put ( Read more... )

I’m sneaking.  Well, I’m not sneaking.  It’s my lunch hour.  But work is hellacious right now, and between pulling my hair out and scheduling an appointment to have it weaved back in, I’m doing 7 things at once that are simultaneously job- and “my life does not revolve around my job-” related.

Okay, that was a little overzealous, but still, I’m glad it’s Friday.  Finally shipped my first complete magazine on Wednesday.  All the others that I’ve been working on so far had began production before I arrived.  But this week’s behemoth was the first one I’ve ever worked on from beginning to end.  And yet here I sit, breathing and typing.  Go ( Read more... )

That was a nice little mini-vacation I had there.  I’m back from my Thanksgiving holiday, and I’m happy to say that I’m all rested up and ready for the hectic Christmas season that lies ahead.  I hope everyone had a great holiday.  And for those that didn’t celebrate on Turkey Day, I hope you had an enjoyable weekend.  :-)

I had planned to give a ( Read more... )

It’s about time I got down to posting about this.  It’s taken me this long to recoup from last weekend, and I’m finally beginning to feel as if I can concentrate long enough to put fingertips to keyboard. Here goes . . .

Friday night was uneventful.  Phone call to friend back home, watched first episode of Into the West, didn’t do laundry, yadda ( Read more... )

Nothing major, just a few ramblings.

Went to Volunteer Orientation for the LA GLBT Pride Festival and Parade on Saturday morning.  And what do you know?  I didn’t get lost trying to find the LAGLC.  After that, I headed up to Hollywood & Highland to wait for babykaos, pjfiend, and Sergio to meet up with me after they finished stalking waiting for Victoria ( Read more... )
