Oh, you guys, I am TIRED. But happy. I do love a weekend well spent, and this was a WEEKEND WELL SPENT.

sarita_m and I started planning a New York weekend earlier in the summer, and so after work on Friday, we hopped on the Bolt Bus (wifi, woot) and headed up to stay with my aunt and uncle there and see what kind of trouble we could get into...if by " ( Read more... )

- Am wearing, for the first time, what is destined to be a beautiful-friendship kind of sweater. It is this one, and it fits perfectly, and it's purple, and we will be 2getha 4eva.

- Missed Glee due to Tivo conflict with Leverage half-season finale; will catch up when it re-airs this weekend. But Leverage was kind of disappointing, no? I like Jeri ( Read more... )

I'm feeling weird about my life these days--not so much unhappy as just a bit blue, maybe a bit bored and a bit lonely, and wondering things like why do I keep showing up for things and not making any new friends? and why aren't I dating? and where, exactly, is my personal limit on being alone?There are also questions about my writing, but I think ( Read more... )

I'm going tonight to help a few of the young adult-type possible friend folks paint our church basement. I am hoping that there will be the singing of painting songs ("oh, grab your brush and grab your rollers, all you kids and all you...bowlers!"). Also that I will meet a handsome but curmudgeonly man who owns a diner and that we will hide behind ( Read more... )

See what I did there? My little Chuck hiatus shout-out? I miss my fun spy show, but we'll be together again someday. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but someday...and for the rest of your life. (I don't know. It's Tuesday, and I'm sleepy; Casablanca for all ( Read more... )

Hey look, you guys! I made a website. It's boneheadedly simple, but it is done, except for the Resume portion, and I did it (with one tiny tech-support call to nicolemack). I already got one e-mail via the Contact link...from my parents. Essentially, "We have no idea why you need this, but it's great! We're so proud of you! We love you!" Hee. Next up: ( Read more... )

Okay, flist, I need your help.

I am looking for a book to love.

I'm just finishing up Dawn Powell's The Wicked Pavilion, which I wedged in among a bunch of screenwriting books, and now I've sort of lost the thread of reading something wonderful. So, if you were me, what would you pick up next? Tell me about a book (or books) that's captured you

It is possible that I have given up even the pretense of being productive today. My boss is in Florida with her new husband and stepkids (whom she clearly wants to shuttle off to boarding school ASAP, which is weird), and my boss-who-isn't-really-my-boss is...somewhere else. Not in the office. And I'm reading this YA book (reviewing it for the ( Read more... )

So, tell me again: Where did this week go, exactly? I feel like this must be what happens when I start getting out--I went to community group on Tuesday and knitting group on Wednesday, and there has been craziness at work, so that yesterday I came home meaning to go for a run (because it was warm and the trees are so pink and flowery!), but ( Read more... )
