too-ta-loo

23Feb10

I know I’ve said so before (though perhaps not since I switched blog hosts), but I love to travel. It’s so exciting and new and different. I love going to places I’ve never been before (as should’ve been exhibited by my recent trip to Boston); I love the journey. I love going places where I […]

happy monday. eat a salad.

22Feb10

So, what is it about Subway anyway? I mean, other than the fact that it just isn’t good? It tries to pretend it is, though. I hadn’t eaten there for over a year until recently, because I really haven’t ever been their biggest fan. I want a sub to be hearty and savory. Not limp […]

Book 6: The Stress of Her Regard, Tim Powers

19Feb10

The Stress of Her Regard earned a place on my “OMFG BEST BOOK EVAR” shelf within the first few chapters. It quickly jumped up among such greats as The Court of the Air (I swear Nikki, I will mail this to you. SOON), and The Lies of Locke Lamora. There’s just so much to it. […]

I’ve decided to start a new category on thisy here blog, and to write about some of the day to day crap I have to deal with, being diabetic. I don’t think I’ve really written much about it before, and that has more to do with the fact that I barely think about the things […]

And she’s just my type

16Feb10

I had a moment of crafty inspiration this weekend. I was trying to find a particular necklace throughout my rather ridiculous horde of jewelry, and it just wasn’t coming to hand. I need a better way to organize this crap, I thought to myself. Because having all these little boxes of things and wee jewelry […]

VDay

15Feb10

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. And I half forgot it for the first few hours of the day. You’ll forgive me for saying so, but I’ve long not been the biggest proponent of this particular holiday. Call me a cynic, call me bitter, whatever; I just don’t think it makes a whole lot of sense. Personally, […]

10Feb10

Highlight Reel; or, Why Am I Not Still There? Thursday: Left work at about noon, drove for approximately forever. I didn’t particularly mind the drive, though. It was a nice change, being totally by myself with my own thoughts for that trip. Good thing I enjoy my own company. Got to the hotel at about […]
