I'm a big list writer, and I recently decided that the million gazillion little pieces of paper scattered around my desk were driving me crazy, so I've put them all in a paperless form, here in one journal entry, which is almost certainly of interest to no one but me. I'm not going to lj-cut it, since I want it to be easily accessible when I look ( Read more... )

I was feeling really quite desperately ill this morning after breakfast -- ill like I'd eaten too much egg, but my breakfast was spinach, split pea soup, and brown rice ... no egg that I'm aware of. So I don't know what made me so sick, but it messed up my plans to see Debbie today, which I'd really been looking forward to, so I was feeling down ( Read more... )

Bleh. I'm sick. Shannon had a minor cold for a few days, but it seems to be hitting me harder. I spent much of today drinking orange juice, coughing, aching, taking Advil, and sleeping. I haven't gotten noticeably sick in years, so it's a bit of a surprise.

I haven't written about our two latest tv shows from Netflix: the L.A. cop show Boomtown ( ( Read more... )

Rain rain rain rain rain. 'Tis the season, I guess. It was also cold enough to persuade me to leave my flip-flops behind in favor of real shoes and socks.

And we all know what rain means: our annual ant invasion will most likely begin any day now. Sigh.But I rather like it when the rain pours down at night and I get to listen to it while comfy in ( Read more... )

I've been busy busy busy, and therefore have not posted to this journal every day as I usually do. I think I last posted about Saturday (9/4) and hanging out with Lisa.
