This is a completely gratuitous post and I’m slightly embarrassed to even post it. Slightly. At least not enough to keep me from posting. Until the United States v. England soccer match I had never before watched an entire professional soccer game. However, when my husband sat down to watch that game, I decided to spend…
Culturally, I think we’re in a pretty good space right now. Musical artists are finding new and creative ways to reassemble the old quarter notes and eighth rests. Books and movies? Heaps of stuff going on. Theatre? There are many exciting new plays that come out every year. But my first love was and will…

Midsummer may be an unusual time for praising herbal tea, but when I felt a bit under the weather yesterday, I prepared and drank my cup of chamomile tea with such profound pleasure that I want to share this with you. I love herbal teas. My all-time favorite is wild berries, which I like to…
It’s been a wild summer at work, so I’m starting to get a little punchy. And when I’m punchy, I’m also pretty easily amused. Since laughter’s a good stress reliever, it’s a great combination. I doubt I’m the only one under pressure, so here are some funny tidbits I found and just had to share….
Oh, the summer TV season. Not exactly the silver screen’s best; it’s mostly re-runs, bad reality, and questionable scripted shows which rarely (but sometimes) make it into September. It’s also the time I watch the most TV. I’m done with work at 5:30, and as I’m not in classes I have little to do in…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWyH_twcMl0 When I was still in school, I used to divide up my listening music according to subjects. I could play anything during math, “thinking” music (aka Mozart and Bach) for sciences, and absolute silence for English and History. (Are you kidding? I’d never get anything done.) Now that I’ve finished with school I can…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNHTCglQ_Wk This past week brought the season finales of two of my favorite — and very different — shows, Glee and Top Chef Masters. About half-way through the finale of Glee, I was beginning to feel some disappointment. I so wanted the show to go out on a high note for the summer.
I had so many flower and shrub plans for my new and unadorned yard this Spring and Summer. I planned to plant a fig tree, blueberry bushes, tea olives, and gardenias. I even had plans to bargain my way into getting my husband to build some raised beds. So far, absolutely none of this has happened. …
And I can’t wait! I am actually not planning to watch every single match, but I will watch lots and lots of them. While I follow the German Bundesliga, the first league, with great enthusiasm every year, the World Cup is something else still. For one thing, it’s super-exciting to watch all (or almost all…
