Coincidence?
I hope it's a coincidence that the LiveJournal posted a Writer's Block question on birthdays when today is infamously Adolf Hitler's birthday. Ewww. -
HGTV is skewing my world view
Due to the fact that we are in the market for a new crib, I've been watching a lot of HGTV lately. Namely things like "House Hunters" and "Property Virgins." I live in San Diego and grew up mostly in San Francisco Bay Area. For anyone who has ever lived in SF or in its nearby suburbs, you'll see that everything is pretty much just squished together ( Read more... ) -
GIP
Yes, this is the handsome and silly Mini Monkey! -
School me, flist
What app do you guys use to import your Twitter updates automatically to LJ? Teach me how to use it. I just barely figured out how to update Facebook via Twitter (with the Monkey's help of course). -
Please support me in my Breast Cancer 3-Day!
This year, I'll be participating in a very special event called the Breast Cancer 3-Day.
I'll walk 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment through Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast ( Read more... ) -

"ET" sort of symbolized the last few happy moments I spent in the ( Read more... ) -
In case you guys did not watch HGTV last night ...
I in fact did NOT win the HGTV Dream House Giveaway last night. It is some old retired lady in Lakeland, FL. No fair! She is old. What's she need with a big ol' house in Sonoma?!
I was also kind of hoping my favorite sweepstakes/lottery entrant drkcherry would win, if I didn't get it. Because you know she'd at least hook us up with some furniture! (The ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Really, Truly
I do believe in true love. I think the love between a parent and child can be classified as true love though. Do I believe in the concept of soul mates, as in one person destined to be with only one other person? Not in the romantic sense. I think there are lots of people in the world I could have been compatible with but the Monkey and I crossed ( Read more... )
