In which publishers and sellers alike seem to be on the verge of losing their minds.
First off, let me just say that I’ve been reading ebooks since 1994. They’re not new. This whole ebook thing has been coming for a long, long time, and I can’t figure out why the big book publishers can’t figure [...]

In which I had a great time on New Year’s Eve at Pub 21 with the band.
Load-in was at 4:30, but I was late because I had to take a paper copy of my resume (and cover letter and references) to WorkSource to apply for a job.
WTF? Why wouldn’t they let me email it [...]
In which I review the new device!
For Christmas, I bought myself a Kindle. (It probably wasn’t particularly clever to spend nearly three hundred bucks on an unnecessary electronic device the very week I got laid off, but whatever. This may be why I never had kids. Moving on!)
The form factor is nice. It’s light, thin, [...]
In which we talk about breakfast! Yum! Because while I read a lot of involved, uplifting, active, and self-referential blogs, personally I’m just not that interesting. Plus: there’s a bunch of food porn!
Yesterday I was craving a big old bowl of the Egyptian breakfast food known as ful medames. The stuff is just so delicious [...]

Last Thursday I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art all by myself.
I went downtown (er, uptown) with Deboka to her school to see if I could get in for an acupunture treatment but the day was fully booked. In the library I got online to [...]
In which I travel for twelve hours and end up right back where I started from a week ago.
I got up at seven this morning (that’s FOUR in the fucking MORNING Pacific time, my babies, but WHO’S COUNTING?) and met my car in front of Jake’s condo at 7:20. Arrived at La Guardia twenty minutes [...]
In which your intrepid narratrix is really quite far behind with her material.
zOMG, I have so much to tell you! But I don’t have time to do it properly, so here’s a brief recap:
Wednesday night, Deboka and I went to her neighborhood pub and watched the Yankees game and talked. Thursday I went to the [...]

In which I dive into my vacation in earnest.
Sunday I got up at the ass crack and showered and dressed, and G’ma graciously drove me to the airport for my 6:50 flight to Seattle. The flight was as short and uneventful as always. (I like Horizon Air.) At SeaTac, I had a breakfast sandwich at [...]
In which my eagerly anticipated and long awaited NEW YORK TOUR 2009 is nigh.
Luggage? Well, I didn’t buy a new case like I’d threatened to, but can use the carry on-sized rolly case at the house; it’ll be adequate and it’s smaller than the one I own.
Hair color? Check, I have an appointment after work [...]
