It’s been almost a week since I lost wireless in my apartment. The contract was in my roommate’s name, and she has moved out and taken the internet with her. It’s only until the end of May, when I’ll be moving out, but for the next three weeks I have no TV, no internet, and…
I’ve resisted for a number of years, but have finally realized it’s time to do it. Yes, I absolutely, positively must replace my old living room furniture. My sofa and loveseat looked quite nice when I originally purchased them. But they’ve finally started to show their age. No matter how many new pillows I place…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lElMMsrI-z8 I recently did a presentation for class on the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969, which had been the largest ecological disaster in America at the time. That dubious distinction was usurped, of course, and is currently held by BP’s blowout in the Gulf of Mexico one year ago April 20. The Santa Barbara…
Here’s an interesting story I came across yesterday. Kim Kardashian, of reality TV fame, is on the cover of the Turkish edition of Cosmo — and is upset about it. Why? She’s Armenian. She posed for photographs for the covers of several international editions of the magazine a while back, not knowing all of the…
Dear Jean, You know, when you picked me out of a rack in Paris, I was surprised. I mean, you were dressed in black, black, and black; I am pink, beige, orange, and very, very bright. But I’ve enjoyed spearheading your wardrobe diversification. I’ve traveled four continents and innumerable countries with you. And I can…
I have been inundated with papers. I have just a few weeks left of college (!) but at the moment all my energy is focused on writing term papers. Two of which happen to be due tomorrow. An additional challenge: write and illustrate a children’s book. Writing it was a breeze, and a lot of…
I was on my way to work the other day, listening to the radio at the ungodly hour of 5:38am, and the news announcer started talking about the Royal Wedding. She mentioned the wedding being available on YouTube, and talked about two wedding cakes, and speculated about Kate’s gown. And said the big event was…
Be warned: Shameless self-congratulation follows. I love my new NookColor. Love it to bits. But when I came back from Arizona with it, I returned sans cover. I spent ages looking at the B&N selection, and while many looked nice, I wasn’t happy with the way most of the covers clip the device. In retrospect, I realized that…
As some of you may remember from the past, when Lent comes around I try to give up something– not just chocolate or sugar or caffeine (though I’ve done all of those things in the past), but something that may actually have an impact other than making me cranky from chocolate withdrawal. A couple of…
I just came back from two very interesting weeks in Arizona, where I was a maid of honor at my best friend’s wedding, and which I followed up with some travelling around the state. Some random notes after the trip: Wedding: This was the first wedding I’ve been a part of, and it was very…
