I’ve lived in New York for nine months and I can finally say that I feel settled.
I’d characterize my first two months as taxing, but calm. I didn’t know many people, so I came home everyday after work. And I had already given myself a disorientation allowance, so it felt normal to feel not-normal.
The next [...]
I’ll be 29 in a few (solid) months and it’s time to make the generic “Before 30″ list. I’m disgusted with myself.
However.
It is a good way to get shit done. And I respond really, really well to lists and directions.
It’s also late, I’m tired, and I really just wanted to get the idea started before [...]
I didn’t need to wear a hat and mittens until last weekend.
Tomorrow? The forecast calls for 53 degrees.
Heaaaaavennnn for someone as suddenly exposed to the elements as I.
However.
I’m so looking forward to being home in Minnie, where the probability of a White Christmas is a dependable 76-90%.
There’s no place like home.
Minneapolis’s Pride celebration was this weekend. A good time had by all.
It was about 3 am and we were walking back from dancin’ our hearts out at the Saloon when a screeching noise from the road got our attention. Car accident?
Close, but not quite.
Instead we saw an ambulance - lights off - charge ahead and [...]
I love sleeping with my window pushed open.
The machiney-sound of cars driving by and the entirely-too-loud chorus of people eating ice cream across the street at Sebastian Joe’s is a comfort.
Maybe I like knowing that there is no possible way I could be alone in the world.
Mmmm and Hm.
While my Gossip Girl, Season 2, Episode 1 downloads from iTunes, I thought I’d write you a blog.
You want to know something weird?
You know those junk e-mails you get from random, random senders that are likely loaded with viruses? Viri? The ones you are warned to never EVER open them?
Well, lately, they have been sent [...]
Sometimes? We all do stupid things.
I went to Vegas over Mem Day Weekend. (Which WASN’T my stupid thing. In fact, I had a magniffffficent time. BFFs, celeb sightings, warm weather, friend-of-PCD freebies. A GOOD TIME.)
While getting ready to see Peepshow last Monday evening, my friends and I were buzzing around the house in a scrambled, [...]
I think I’d be considered a “late bloomer” for most of the adolescent-into-adulthood milestones in life.
Working with 8th graders either confirms this OR confirms that we’re all going to hell in a handbasket.
One or the other.
It seems kids are more mature these days. I don’t even flinch anymore when a student says “Um, it’s 2009!” [...]
As I was leaving a breakfast date with Kaylan this morning, she called out to me, “Remember, don’t eat meat today! It’s Good Friday!”
“Oh shit,” I thought to myself. “It is, isn’t it?”
It really isn’t too surprising that this slipped my mind considering that my highest level of participation this year came POST meal of [...]
You and I have already discussed my adoration of the brilliance + convenience that is Netflix.
The site has changed the way it categorizes your movie preferences. It used to be like:
“Ohhhkay, Sarah. It appears you liked 27 Dresses. You must like ROMANTIC COMEDIES! Hahahaha.”
(In my head, the Netflix Czar has a booming voice and makes [...]
