first, the important question. my sister is having a dinner party on saturday, with our local cousins from mom's side of the family, and i volunteered to make dessert. i found two pies in the fabulous pie cookbook she got me for my birthday a couple years ago, and they are ( Read more... )

you know how my curling team won last week by a lot? tonight we lost by a lot. >.< the ice was wonky (we were on a weird sheet) and personally i could've done a lot better, but basically i think we were just outplayed. the other team hadn't won a game yet, so at least we lost to someone who appreciated it. but still, how embarrassing ( Read more... )

yesterday we got SNOW. have i mentioned that it was very exciting? it was very exciting. :D even tho i was out and about it in and dealing with the wind. >.< i met tamalinn and she picked up a new pair of glasses and i got my comics and girl scout cookies (peanutbutter patties) and we had lunch and i waited for the bus for almost an hour before giving ( Read more... )

there were fireworks in boston tonight! tamalinn and i went down to the waterfront to see them. much less crowded than fourth of july fireworks, probably because who sets off fireworks for labor day? right? it's not a firework holiday. they were fun, tho. there are some things you just never outgrow ( Read more... )

heir of sea and fire, which i enjoyed a lot altho the cover art and blurb on the back are kind of misleading, in that they reference events at the end of the book as if they happen much earlier. but the book can basically be described as "girls get shit done", and i am totally down with that.

What I am reading now:

i have a new and exciting idea for next year's bigbang - taking over from the previous exciting idea - because sometimes i think that far ahead, and i blame dear-tiger. my response to the emergence of this bunny was a very heartfelt "oh, fuck me". and then i started casting it on the bus home. >.< i'm not sure why i do these things to myself ( Read more... )
