Something on my mind since my class last night: The pluses of the 9-5 full-time job I have now: steady, good money. excellent healthcare. paid vacation. security and stability. The pluses of becoming a freelance copyeditor: working at home and setting my own schedule. constant challenges to my brain. learning and growing my skillset. freedom. […]

My hair is all kinky and wavy today since I slept with it all braided up. I feel like I have late 70s – early 80s hair. Whee!! My hair is naturally straight as a stick, so getting it to keep a curl is kind of a challenge. I like my apartment and my neighborhood […]
playing with work

I am doing some exercises in the JavaScript book I got for work. I’m supposed to be learning to create scripts. Wheee. The sad news is that LiveJournal (understandably) doesn’t allow one to put JavaScript into posts. I’m fine with that. No really. Fine with that. BELIEVE ME I just made an AWESOME local time […]

Let’s learn some funny British wordings! “bump” : this is the common term for a pregnant woman’s belly. “piles” : I thought this meant something else but I guess it means hemorrhoids! Huh. “cot” : this is the word used where Americans would say “crib,” as in a bed for a baby. I learned these […]

It was a good, productive, fun weekend. Tonight we’re going to a “Joe Millionaire” party at someone’s house. I am bringing the crudite. For some reason today went by really, really quickly. Brian came over for lunch (he got the day off, like many people) and we went to this weird place on the pier […]

Swell, lazy Sunday. I just got home from taking a walk to Hayes Valley. Bought some nice jojoba seed hand cream and otherwise window-shopped, then had some fries at Frjtz. All day helicopters and planes circled around my neighborhood, watching the rally downtown. Poor Brian has a bad stomachache today. He’s coming over so we […]
making the best of it

My Valentine’s Day was great, in spite of PG&E’s best efforts to wreck it. Brian sent a gorgeous orchid plant to my office, which, unlike roses, will last for years provided I don’t kill it. After work I got all spiffed up, the boy came over, I gave him the card/mix CD I made for […]

I have the best boyfriend in the whole wide world. That is all for now.
word o’ the day

estrus n 1 : a regularly recurrent state of sexual excitability during which the female of most mammals will accept the male and is capable of conceiving. Hubba hubba. Note: How do I pick my word? I open my dictionary to a random page, and then select my favorite word from that page. You’re welcome.
whatever happened to

I started thinking last night while watching The Shining: whatever happened to these people? Let’s ask the IMDB! Danny: The kid who played Danny went on to play G. Gordon Liddy as a child in a made-for-tv movie. He then went on to do absolutely nothing thereafter. His bio states “Because of his age (6) […]
