In which I talk about an ex-boyfriend for a long time, as an illustration of the It Takes A Village concept (but as it applies to adults, not children). In the mid- to late 90’s I was living off campus in a house on Kirkwood with Cat and M.P. when MLD moved in. He had […]
On playing with the innernizzle. Today I played with Newsgator and then with Flickr. Newsgator is cute and I’m going to try it out. So far I’ve tried Kinja and Bloglines and they both have really cool features but they both really pretty much suck at the same time. I realize that it’s a lot […]
In which I can’t think of anything clever, so will bore you with a few mundane details just so you know I’m thinking of you. My fingers still hurt from playing my guitar. I’m not sure I’m in love with the idea of an always-home, unemployed husband. Ahem. (He just read this line and said, […]
In which my hand feels like it’s about to fall off, but I can still type. So I haven’t played guitar regularly since… well, ever. I guess I played a lot when I was about sixteen, for a year or so, but then I got really into voice and sort of stopped. Today I played […]
In which I’ll probably not look as young or thin as I once did. Tonight at House 11 rehearsal we’ll be setting the band room back up (now that the gear is all back from the gig), and then watching the video from New Year’s Eve. *groan* The band will now know about that one […]
In which I got wasted by accident and for no apparent reason whatsoever. So I left work at five last night and drove homeward. I turned at the Libertyville turn-off and stopped at the Dew Drop for one drink. Just one, because it sounded good. Okay, maybe two. Sure, I’ll have another, thanks! What the […]
Butternut Squash Lasagna Cooking spray 3 cups chopped onion 10 cups fresh spinach ¼ cup (3oz) shredded sharp provolone cheese ½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 (15 oz) carton part-skim ricotta cheese 1 (15oz) carton fat-free ricotta cheese 3 cups diced peeled […]
In which I complain, and confess to having a mysterious rash. (No, no no no, not THERE. Christ, what’s wrong with you?) The plastic zipper on my down-filled vest sucks. It catches on nothing and it always takes me multiple tries to get it unzipped. If the vest wasn’t so warm I wouldn’t put up […]
It’s the link of the day: listen to your Uncle Pete, kids, he’s an icon. Pete Townshend Warns iPod Users to turn it down before they go deaf. And he’s not kidding, either. I personally managed to give myself mild tinnitus (which is permanent – as in forever, as in for the rest of my […]
In which I’m flattered, but mildly disturbed. So I just discovered that there is an image in my gallery – of one of my tattoos – that was hit over nine thousand times in November. (Nine thousand times!) There are even a variety of juvenile comments about how much my ink sucks. It never occurred […]
