This is a new experience for me, seeing a presidential campaign through the lens of social networking. Getting a text from The Redheaded Lawyer that proposes that it's "best we not talk politics :)", as our opinions seem to have diverged to a degree. Seeing Facebook friends become "fans of" various candidates and causes and wondering why they ( Read more... ) -

Just flipped through the Sister Hazel messageboard, and this caught my eye:
Starfish, A Lullaby
Okay, let's count the ways this is Really Really Cool.
1. It's always awesome to see what each of the guys works on separately from Sister Hazel.
2. Who doesn't love children's books? My kids are probably too old for it (esp since it's a board book), but ( Read more... ) -
back on terra firma!
For various reasons, I was unable to post updates as I went along this weekend. Mostly because putting the laptop's power cord next to the laptop bag isn't the same as putting it *into* the laptop bag. Doh. Most on-the-fly updates were via Twitter (hazelmoon) and thence Facebook.
And now I'm still not going to post a travelogue. Mostly because, ( Read more... ) -

repost of repost
Reposting this because I've run out of good ways to ask y'all to donate money (and thank you to those who have!), and I'm at work anyways and don't have much time (and also because LJ did something weird to the post I posted yesterday). Please repost in your journals, myspace, facebook, etc, if you could. *Edited to add donation information at ( Read more... ) -

I've run out of imaginative ways to send this email.
If you could please find $10 or so to donate (more is always nice too), I would be extremely grateful. I'll send you a postcard from Boston, if I have your address. (If you're already in Boston, come watch me jump out of an airplane! or, rather, come watch me land! email me for more info!)

Swan Diving
So I did some math... if everyone on my friends list donated $10 to Lyrics For Life, I'd make my goal. But I know that people have budgets and sometimes can't donate (it's been me way too often, and I regret that), and I know that some of you were very generous last year when I came begging for donations. But if you could maybe look under the ( Read more... ) -
As The Internet Turns
Today's post is brought to you by the letter A. See below.
This just showed up in my OKCupid mailbox. The sender is a 19-yo boy from Indianapolis.
" youre really beutiful"
That's all. I'm... flattered? I mean, thanks? -

Seriously, if this post had been written ten years ago, I might still be married. Or maybe not, because maybe the housework issue was just a symptom of bigger things, but still. -
It's that time of year again...
Most of you are familiar with my skydiving escapade last summer, and many of you helped me raise money for Lyrics For Life toward that goal. Well, the time has come again for me to ask for help in reaching my goal of once again falling out of an airplane in support of children's cancer research.
