Celebs Who Do Without

Emma Thompson wields a fierce wand when co-starring in Harry Potter movies, jets around the world and hobnobs with Bill Gates at Davos. But don't ask her to reboot a laptop. The actress' favorite piece of technology, she told Forbes.com, is the fountain pen. Thompson's in good company. There's no...

Another List of Books!

This is the Entertainment Weekly Top 100 books from 1983 to the present. Despite its source, I find it to be pretty interesting. Since I love books and most of you love books, I thought I'd share it. Red ones are ones I've read. 1. The Road , Cormac McCarthy (2006) 2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of...

Back in the Saddle

I'm back to blogging - feeling much better and this particular drama seems to be over for now. Just to bring you up tp date, here is what you missed in my absence. I make no promises that it is exciting: I have become an unofficial softball cheerleader - I went to three of Brian's softball games...

Me and My voice on the Radio

It is not a photo, I know, Kind of cheating. Here is a link to hear me on NPR. If you click the play button it will play two stories, one is mine. I sounds weird and nervous. Haha! Husband says Cute, but I say DORKY!!! Ha! I am still not sure about what I think. Thank You To all of you who listened!...

The Reading List

One of the dangers of working in a bookstore is that you buy too many books, and then before you even begin to read the ones you own, you buy more or check books out (we have a library system of sorts). As such, I have a decent sized stack of books waiting to be read, but I keep checking books out...

Ta-Dah!

I made a purse. I sewed it myself. I actually followed a pattern and sewed a purse that looks good. I'm a bit stunned. I pretty much flunked sewing in Home Ec, never actually finishing the blouse we were supposed to make. I spent most of the class time ripping out seams (if they'd given us grades in...

A Hole In My Tooth . . .

2.29.08 There is a hole in my tooth. It is on the outside of the second to last molar on the top left side of my mouth, to be more specific. Now, I am well aware that a cavity is a hole in your tooth and so I should perhaps be using to word “cavity” to refer to this hole, but I am refraining...

Why I'm Falling Away

At some point, I thought it would be a good idea to fill in the back story on the blog name. I chose it, thinking the phrase "Falling Away" reminded me of the title of a book I've never actually read (but think I probably should one day to demonstrate my newfound middle-aged wisdom). It's by a...

Multi-tasking

My weekends always seem so brief, so I try to cram a lot of leisure into them. But due to the whim of the scheduling gods, I think I am overdoing it. Last night, I had three things that I wanted to do: watch the U.S. Open, watch the Yankee game and watch the Metallica set live from Bonnaroo....

The Rickshaw Returns, or When It Rains, It Pours.

First off! Holy crap, it's a lion webcam. A LION WEBCAM. I don't even want to admit the amount of time I wasted watching the cute little cubs feeding and the lioness expressing her disdain for everything and everyone. I love animals. So. Graduation. That was a night to remember, to be sure. I got to...

A BJ and More

My internet is finally up and running. My air conditioner however, does not exist. As Steve Knox would say, "It is hotter than two rats fu@#ing in a wool sock". So much to catch you up on. For starters, my new roommate has arrived and I am once again part of a Three's Company household. This time I...

a few more notes on philly

Our trip to Philadelphia didn't start off so hot. Our gps navigated us through the questionable neighborhoods of South Philadelphia to get to our hotel and our first stop in the city was a huge let down... the [what I once thought was] giant "love" statue. For some reason I had this picture of...

There goes June, what do ya know?

Well, first, it's hot: So what have I been doing, you might ask? Cooking. Yes, I'm a dummy. But the produce is up, and Mom keeps handing it over from her garden. So I really have no choice. Yesterday morning I made some chocolate zucchini muffins (very, very good); And I cooked a feast of sorts for...

i <3 LA

Spent another fabulous weekend in my old home, LA. As usual, it was great to be back to one of my favorite places. We went to see swervedriver, one of my hubby's favorite bands. unfortunately, a killer neck pain forced me to only see about the first 20 minutes of the show before i had to retire to...

U.S. Open

I had every intention of keeping a running diary of the last round of the U.S. Open today, but it just didn't happen. Brian and I got caught up in other things and I just wasn't in the mood to do it. Besides, it wound up NOT being the final round, since Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate wound up tied...

Again with the blogs

Hi, I only have this because my sister started one. And since everything my sister does is super-cool. I have decided to copy her, as I sometimes do as the lamer, older sister. To be honest I have a ton of blogs that have been deleted, with the only living one, offline. But this one I'll keep...

Announcement

Alex, Danielle and I discussed your idea and think that combining forces to create a shopping superblog is FIERCE. Of course we won't be able to come close to Mindy Kaling's genius, but we can aspire to it nonetheless. Andrea, you want in? Katherine? Garrett as the token male? Anyone who wants to...

I Hate Lesson Planning.

2.26.08 I just spent the last three to four hours trying to figure out what to do with ONE class tomorrow. This class has become the bane of my existence. It is by far the LONGEST hour and a half of my week and I start dreading it in the early afternoon on Tuesday because that is when I realize that...
