There just isn't any way I can catch up.  I missed you all, 2 weeks (mostly) without internetz was - different.  Whole new world out there ( Read more... )

I have the brainjumble.   I can edit an entry here, but not my thoughts, which have for days been tumbling over each other like multiple litters of puppies in a too-small cardboard box; muzzle of this thought, tail of of another, random belly . . .

Dualities of modern life:

On the one hand, Esmerelda, I am pleased that my hard work to quell my road ( Read more... )

I have a water 'fetish'.  Part of it is that my sinuses are so drippy, and water helps keep the cough-inducing back of the throat tickle tamed.  But I've always loved drinking water.  I average probably a gallon a day, if you include filtered water for ice cubes and coffee and tea ( Read more... )

It's so frustrating to look up and realize it's 4:30 and I haven't accomplished even a small portion of the to-do list.

A large part of my personality (not to mention my LJ handle) explained:  I am baby 19!    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/magazine/04anxiety-t.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=baby%2019&st=cse  (you might have to register - harmless).

from Torchwood.  And the move.*

So instead of unpacking boxes this week, I immersed myself in Torchwood.  I LOVED the first 3 and a half nights.

The rest?  Knocked me on my okole.

Hard to believe that just over a year ago, my life changed, radically.  Nothing is a given, is it?  I'm not unhappy.  I have an apartment I like, even if everything is yes, still in boxes.  I have friends, and family, to spend time with. Authors and television shows to consume.  I have work, which I hope will even out a little and make me some ( Read more... )

It's so nice to see, that in a week where we lost two icons of my youth, that some things endure.   Hurray for LJ slap fights and con reports!!!!

Most of what I own is still in boxes, but I'm "here", where ever that may be.  Waves.
