Writer's Block: Chatty
Um... where's the question about the five albums I would bring to a different dessert island with electricity and a CD player instead of a DVD player? Or am I just behind the times and the world just assumes that everyone has a multi-gig iPod that makes it in the suitcase to the dessert island??
But to answer the actual question posed: I prefer ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: More Island Time
This question's a lot easier to answer, though I still reserve the right to change my answers pending further contemplation:
- Jeffrey Steingarten's The Man Who Ate Everything
- Jeffrey Steingarten's It Must Have Been Something I Ate
- John Grisham's Runaway Jury
- Stephen Colbert's I Am America (And So Can You!)
- John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Desert Island Time
[I'm surprised I keep letting myself get sucked into answering these Writer's Block questions when I log in to LJ, given that I have a ton of work to get done and don't really have time to devote to something like this!!]
I suppose it is only fitting that one of the five DVDs I would take is Season 2 of The Office. If you're a fan, you should know ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Been There, Done That
Monty and I actually talked about this once before, after we saw some movie where someone relived the same day over and over again (no, it was not Groundhog Day, though today is Groundhog Day, which is why I assume this question was posed on the LJ page), or some movie where some dead person got to pick one day they could relive again and it turned ( Read more... ) -
I am definitely getting old

For the first time in my life, I saw dark bags under my eyes. -
Murray Meinsteiny Toso Mewers
So, we stopped at PetSmart to get some food and supplies for Missy and Qzarina, and somehow we ended up with a new kitten (we didn't adopt him right away -- we're fostering pending Qzarina's acceptance of him as a playmate, which is really the only reason why we're even considering adopting again so soon).
Meet Murray Meinsteiny Toso Mewers.

My first vacation since starting work
We just got back from a wonderful 12-day vacation to Montreal; Quebec and surrounding areas; Burlington, Waterbury, and Middlebury, Vermont; and Westport and Lake Placid, New York.
No time for a long recap, but here are the highlights:- Having two dinners almost everyday while in Montreal

I just have to say...
I am so glad Clay Aiken is back with a new album. He is, in my opinion, the best singer in the world. I absolutely adore his voice -- it's just so clear and pleasing to the ear ( Read more... ) -

Ahhh, the wonders of technology...
With a computer, access to the internet, a working telephone line, and some electricity, I was able to work completely from home today and keep Missy company while Monty's gone. Eeeeeeee!! I even had access to secretaries for assistance with the help of Bell's amazing invention. The best part about working from home is that when I take little ( Read more... )
