Stumbling** towards normal* (With minor editing)
November 22, 2006
1. Note to self: a DiGiorn0 thin crust pizza comes with a very thin piece of cardboard under it. You should NOT put the pizza in the oven WITH the cardboard under it. Bad things could happen, and you are damn lucky they didn’t. 2. What’s all this hype about Blogger Beta? Do I want … More Stumbling** towards normal* (With minor editing)
Life here is just scintillating
October 31, 2006
About 30 minutes ago I dropped a pomegranate seed. I quickly scurried to find it–I’m told pomegranate juice stains permanently–but I never did. Not inside the chair or on the floor or in my lap. It was just…gone. I was starting to think that perhaps I hadn’t dropped it at all, that it had fallen … More Life here is just scintillating
My life, or, a bunch of random stuff crammed into an exploding file folder
October 11, 2006
First of all, you should know that I started writing this post exactly two days and 40 minutes ago. I got as far as the title, and then I had to save it as a draft and put it aside. I know you might be thinking, “Well, you ARE at work, after all, and you … More My life, or, a bunch of random stuff crammed into an exploding file folder
What’s on your mind?
September 27, 2006
Why is it that in every news photo published of her, Condi Rice looks like she’s standing knee-deep in the middle of a giant vat of cow shit? Why is it that every third person asks how you’re doing when you’re pregnant? These people never spoke to me before. Why now? For those of you … More What’s on your mind?
The One With the Gnarly Neighbor
September 27, 2006
The night before my mom flew to California she stayed at my house so she could be closer to the airport, and so she could drop off her favorite child dachshund, Goliath, who would be spending the week with his favorite cousin Suzanna while Mom was away. Goliath is one of those perfect dogs: he’s … More The One With the Gnarly Neighbor

Procrastination
September 10, 2006
I can’t even remember if I’ve mentioned that I’m taking two graduate courses this semester. It was all part of The Plan That Wasn’t To Be: I was going to be working in a school media center, which was going to limit my constant contact with kids, which was going to limit my exhaustion; I … More Procrastination
Public Service Announcement
August 25, 2006
The lid on a previously opened carton of Edy*s D*bs is not–I repeat: NOT–tight-fitting. Therefore, flinging open the freezer door to grab and eat said D*bs might create an unsettling motion in the freezer, thereby causing the carton to topple, in which case the lid WILL COME OFF and your precious D*bs will scatter all … More Public Service Announcement
We interrupt this period of silence and inactivity
July 11, 2006
While I’d love to fill you in on any number of scintillating topics (the impending installation of my new carpet, for example, and how I will consequently be trapped on the screened porch all day with my housecat, some granola bars, and two CDs; or the brief beach trip I took last week with my … More We interrupt this period of silence and inactivity
