Sometimes I wonder if I would make progress on my book if someone was literally holding a gun to my head. You know, like in Misery, which I read when I was like 13. Lately I *think* about it a lot. My book, that is. I think about the story, the characters, the scenes, the […]

Brian is obsessed with putting a solar array on our roof ($20,000, um ouch), but for now, our other energy + earth saving efforts will have to do. Looking at him, you would have no idea he is really a tree-hugging hippie. 1. We have owned our hybrid car for three years, and will never […]

My former roommate recently got engaged to her boyfriend of three years. Yay! She sent me a pic of her ring today — it’s a gorgeous square-cut diamond from Derco, the awesome Armenian jeweler where we got our wedding set, as well as a pair of xmas earrings. Love that place. That’s where I tried […]

Finally got my new bank card, after an annoying three-week delay, which means I finally renewed my livejournal account, so my web site displays properly again. Sorry about that! Gorgeous day today.

Quick post: I still like my job a lot. It continues to make the many years spent at my last job look like a mind-numbing waste of time. Today I was able to turn a potentially frustrating roadblock in a project into only a minor hitch; because of the detailed CSS classes I created for […]

When I eat fat, especially animal fat, my gall bladder pokes me in the ribs as hard as it can, like the end of a broomstick. When I don’t eat fat, especially animal fat, it calms down. Ergo, I am cutting back dramatically on the animal fats, especially in red meat and whole milk. Watching […]

I have been way busy, day and night, too busy to blog! My office at home isn’t really unpacked at all yet. At work, I have been working on a few big projects and haven’t had time to screw around. But today is slow, so here I am. So this morning I took a later […]
