Here's the book's description (copied from goodreads): Bell's Big Move tells the story of Bell and her girl, Sofia, who move from the big city to the quiet town of Pineville, where life is a lot less busy. Will their new friends, Jingle and Andrew, help make Pineville feel like home ( Read more... )

I just read a really smart blog post about stupid yoga, smart yoga, and life. The writer has met David Williams, the first non-Indian to learn Ashtanga yoga back in the 1970s. He talks about how yoga is about enjoyment, not about competitionI think this is a pretty interesting topic. Yoga originated as a practice for spirituality and stilling ( Read more... )

I skipped yoga yesterday morning for the dumbest reason: I got a haircut Tuesday night, and it looked all nice, and I didn't want to muck it up with yoga. I did like ten minutes just to stretch a little without getting sweaty and then I got ready for work. Last night I actually did my practice. I'd been hoping to get in a full hour, since I have ( Read more... )

Today's hilarious spam subject:

"Jackson," she remembered.I am amused first of all that it was correctly punctuated. Also, it's kind of fun to try to fill in the previous line: what question was she trying to answer? Feel free to comment ( Read more... )

So where to start. I'm kind of bumming tonight. My roomies and I just had a "discussion" about money and paying bills and how to split up paying for the groceries, so that was fun. I hate money discussions. The money discussion was sparked by the fact of our heat not currently working, and what I think the temperature should be versus what ( Read more... )

i am boreder than bored. i hope my complete and total apathy for any work-related activity doesn't continue when i get a "real" job. and the stuff i'm doing today is actually sort of interesting, too--looking at the departmental webpage to see if the address got changed everywhere, if it's navigable, if the sections on directory stuff are up to ( Read more... )

so this morning i get up almost half an hour early to go to the RMV so i can get there right when it opens. i want this trip to be one-stop shopping, so i have packed my bag with all my paperwork the night before: the license form (which i've printed out from the internet and filled out already), my out-of-state license, passport, soc card, copy ( Read more... )
