I have nothing against the Detroit Tigers. They aren’t the Yankees or the Twins or the Angels, three teams in the AL that I enjoy watching lose. But it would have been nice for Oakland to get at least ONE win in the series, so as not to be completely humiliated. Oh well. Our players […]

stompers

My boot-shopping saga continues. I ordered two pairs of boots off of my company’s not-yet-launched site, and ended up returning both of them today. One pair, while very awesome, would not zip over my calf, which is a problem for all people who don’t have long, skinny legs. My legs are shapely, but short, so […]

clay mask night

I went to the gym today, after a few weeks of total slackertude. I was reminded that I actually like working out, and one reason is that it allows my mind to focus. I get a lot of good ideas while just chugging away on the elliptical, looking out at the Bay Bridge and the […]

ch 2.3

I am determined to get this damn chapter done today, and if not today, then tomorrow. I worked on it for two and a half hours last night, and somehow only got about a page and a half done. I took a long walk today. It’s hot in the city, even out in the Sunset. […]

warning: this post is about a dream I just had

I dreamed that I had moved to New York. I found myself in a dark and dirty apartment somewhere, with an unknown number of roommates. I looked out the window at the street below and watched the cars racing past. I decided to go outside. As I left, a man at the door asked me […]

what’s for dinner

Tonight: butternut squash soup with homemade sourdough parmesan croutons; arugala salad with walnuts, radishes, and honeycrisp apple. Yesterday I took the day off and went down to Monterey with Allison and Jesse. We visited the aquarium and had a pretty great time hanging out with the otters and jellyfish and octopus. I enjoyed watching the […]

tests

Test one: Blood work results were finally given to me today, along with apologies for the delay. Some of you will be glad to know that my female parts, hormones, thyroid, etc are all in perfect working order. Yay! Which now means that Brian gets to “submit” a “sample” for the “lab.” Good times! Test […]

pedometer

A friend of mine linked to a cool site today: An online pedometer that uses Google Maps. I quickly found out that the walking distance between my house and the Cole train stop is 1.3 miles. This thing makes a LOT more sense than using driving directions, especially if you don’t care about taking the […]

I don’t see how I can be expected to work when the Oakland A’s are playing game one of the ALDS right now. Allison and Jesse arrived yesterday and are staying at our house. Last night we made this vegan tempeh tomato sauce with spaghetti and it was delicioso. Then we watched the Packers lose. […]

inconceivable

First thing’s first: I’m not pregnant. Okay, now that that’s out of the way: broke the coffee ban, and two hours later my hands are still shaking. Aaaaahhahahhhaaaa. The weather today is a perfect shade of gray. I love October. I walked around by myself after having coffee with Brian. Went to return something at […]
