My lease ends Wednesday, and I'm moving out of the house. I was planning to devote my weekend to working on it. Saturday morning, I was going to wake up and spend the day industriously packing, and start moving at least the first few boxes over to the house they'll be stored, and everything. This was the plan ( Read more... )

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! It was a nice one indeed.

My lease on this house runs out the 15th. eavanmoore, who was visiting to take care of the last of her things, left last night [ :'( ] and peachke is leaving this evening (moving her things into her new apartment now, and then leaving town the next day). As for me, I'm not 100% sure what's going ( Read more... )

Does anybody have a webcam I can borrow the use of? Because I've been racking my brain to think of something nice to do for Mother's day, and I think it'd be nice to record a short Mom's day greeting so she can "see" me.

Could I trouble my remaining readers for a show of hands? I'm afraid that by lack of posting, too much angst, and not replying to comments very well, I've alienated my former audience. Which would be understandable on the part of the audience, but I'd like to know who I can still communicate with via this thing ( Read more... )

My mom really likes the slip-resistant shoes that Shoes For Crews makes for restaurant work. It's time to order her and my dad new pairs, and they suggested I look into it, as well. We do slippery things like mopping the floor and washing dishes all the time, and it might be more safe for me to get a pair--I've almost-slipped dozens of times, ( Read more... )

I'm not going to Hum Play tonight. However:

1. If you are, and are planning to go early and get a good seat (I always used to show up a good 45-60 minutes before hand [with a book, and friends, of course] and camp out, just so I'd get a great front-center seat), can someone please take pictures for me? I have a very nice new digital camera which ( Read more... )

Does anyone want an Amish Friendship Bread starter? mehoket gave me one (Tracy and I are friends!) and now that mine has had a litter, I'm looking for good homes ( Read more... )

mehoket and I have a joint Reed Arts Week project. It's based on a legendary, celebrated calligrapher, Lloyd J. Reynolds, (the linked article is fascinating, by the way) who taught at Reed from 1949-1969. (Steve Jobs was among his students.) We're photocopying some of his work (Special Collections, in the bowels of the library, is amaaazing) and also ( Read more... )

I'm slowly, ever so slowly, making changes around here. Some of you may have noticed that my most recent display name has changed from the Hobbes quote "solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short" to "just a soul whose intentions are good." I think I want my journal title and subtitle to be "Just a soul whose intentions are good: Oh Lord, please ( Read more... )

Incidentally, to whom is Christmas, as a day, important? Would you like a Merry Christmas/Secular Hello phone call from me [unfortunately, my cell phone plan only works within the U.S. :( ]? Comments are screened, post the relevant phone number and a suggested time (or times that are bad) and time zone. I might not get out a Merry Christmas e- ( Read more... )
