Hello again, Dreamwidth
I haven't really been posting here, in large part because I'm not quite sure what it's for. When I first started my Dreamwidth account I was thinking about it as a replacement for livejournal, somewhere to put more personal posts, because of the ability to lock them down to different levels of privacy.

A quick update
I've been in San Francisco for almost a week now. It's been an interesting week. I really don't have time to write about half the things I want to, but to give a quick update ( Read more... ) -
Making and Doing
I'm spending at awful lot of time these days battling uphill to Make Stuff. Staring at sentences, writing a few words, deleting them.

Auckland and San Francisco

We watched terrible movies on the plane (then accidentally talked about politics and disconcerted the people sitting near us) and had a tiny girl stare at our hair a lot. The stopover in Auckland was great - we walked from the city centre out to the Domain park and went to the museum there. (Although it wasn't ( Read more... ) -
Counting my stern little blessings
I've had some nice catchups over the last few days. One of the things I'm really appreciating at the moment is having a whole heap of people (mostly ladies, but one or two of the man-types as well) who are terrible clever and insightful, and who aren't afraid to ask me the Tough Questions or tell me the Tough Things ( Read more... ) -
Happiness
I have been finding the space to do things that make me happy again, including ( Read more... ) -
small consolations
There are many things from the last few weeks that I want to write about, but can't write about here. They're too important or private for the Internet, or not mine to write about in public ( Read more... )
