Maybe this is a rerun.

Friday, March 5th, 2010

I may have talked about this before, but if I can’t remember, chances are neither can you. I am indebted to The Blarg’s recent post for generating my thoughts as stated below.
Freedom. I believe it can be conceived of in two primary ways. Firstly, there is “freedom from.” We may conceive of freedom as the [...]

Because the community at large on FB just wouldn’t appreciate much of this.

For Erin and Sarah Shead: I just finished watching North and South and boy was it awesomer than awesome and boy do I need a poster of Richard Armitage. Will he be in the upcoming edition of Teen Beat, do you think?
For Angelo: Where can I get Illy coffee cheaper than at the market? $14 [...]

Overheard at Disneyland

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Conversation the first, overheard in the loo…
Girl in the bathroom #1: I wanna go on Thunder Mountain.
Girl in the bathroom #2: What? Magic Mountain?
Girl in the bathroom #1: No Thunder Mountain.
Girl in the bathroom #2: I don’t know that one. Where is it?
Girl in the bathroom #1: Um, Pioneerland.
Conversation the second, overheard on the tram [...]

Saturday. Every day is Saturday.

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

First free week and my house is getting cleaner by the moment. It’d be even cleaner if I didn’t drag Paul out dancing three times this week. Mondays at Memories are quite reliably fun lately. You new swing babies should stick around for dancing at 9pm. Only $3. Thursday a few brave souls headed [...]

I’m unemployed!

On the bright side, I have a brand new computer to type blogs about unemployment on.

Agenda for 11/10/09

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

1. I am unemployed as of 11/13/09. Yup, that’s Friday the 13th.
2. In a related vein, my swing dancing addiction is still picking up speed, so it’ll be nice to have all those 40 pesky hours of work free to devote to more important endeavors.
3. Does anyone want to start paying me to swing dance? [...]

It’s a Three Squirrel Day!

Monday, October 26th, 2009

There are parks on all my routes home. No matter how I try, I cannot help but pass a park on my commute.
Last week, I drove by El Dorado and, according to my usual custom, peeled the old eyeballs for squirrels. Two were playing – or fighting to the death – under a tree, [...]

Best week ever!

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

I’m having it (the best week ever). In no particular order, this week I am having:
-So much fun dancing.
-Job opportunities.
-Good books.
-Good company.
-Good time teaching (and first paycheck).
-Amazing weather.
-An amazing new gray dress.

Permanent addresses of the past.

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

We have hardwood floors, and I spent time today mopping gobs of dust and spiders off the floor underneath our bed. I found many wondrous things, not the least of which is an old copy of Mere Christianity. My dad’s name, complete with the address we last lived at in 1987 and a phone number [...]

I’m not very good at peace. Ok, I’m awful. Terrible at it, actually,

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

but it has been a peaceful week. No deadlines. Everything on my to do list is there because I put it there, and is to a degree negotiable. Several times this week I have found myself reading a book, and realized that there is nothing else I needed to be doing instead. My God, what [...]
