My apartment has steam heat which I have never in my life had to deal with. This means having a radiator in every room – including mine. When it decided to become antarctic outdoors, I waited and waited for the heat to kick on. When it didn’t, I asked my roommate, Miss Jay, when I [...]

I hope that it goes without saying that I support the No on Prop 8 campaign in California. But, in case it didn’t – now you know. Just thought I would share this youtube video I found today that is not only a No on Prop 8 ad, but it showcases one of my absolute [...]

So the newest set of batteries I put in my camera have lasted for the time being. Maybe I just had a bad set? We’ll never know… Anyway, here are some of the pictures I have been promising for a while. We’ll start off with some gratuitous adorableness in the form of what HAD been [...]

Alright, I’ve been meaning to post these pictures for a while, but I’m having camera issues again (hence why there is one on my wishlist!) It keeps telling me to change the batteries, even when I put new ones in. I can’t bear to go another two months without my camera, especially since it’s almost [...]

Seeing as how my birthday is less than 14 days away, I’ve been asked to prepare a list of things I might want. Actually, only my father asked with the threat that if he didn’t get a list he would have to pick something out himself. The threat holds no water because the Emperor Emeritus [...]

So, after much frustration and several near misses, I finally have paid for a wedding dress from e-bay. I say paid for because it’s not here yet and I’m still a little worried it won’t show up. I would show you the pictures, but I’m going to wait. The dress needs a little work and [...]

So, this year I am planning the Thanksgiving dinner decorations. I am most excited to be doing this, and I came up with a gorgeous color scheme: Not purple purple, more of a deep plum color and gold, and white. Obviously the examples above are sort of ostentatious and Thanksgiving isn’t really about being showy [...]

Last night was an epic failure. I woke up 3 times, like no melatonin ever happened.  I’m disappointed, but more importantly, exhausted again.  I won’t give up, because like all good chemicals I’m sure it takes time to balance out, but at this rate I’ll die from some terrible accident where I fall asleep walking [...]

So I still woke up at 4 this morning, for about 5 minutes. Just long enough to be disappointed that I didn’t last all night, and then to reposition about 8 times before getting comfy enough to fall back asleep. However. I was up by 6:30. And now it is 7 and I’m coherent, functional, [...]

Have you ever been visited by an idea that once firmly ensconced in your mind absolutely refuses to leave? I don’t know what prompted it, but yesterday I was suddenly grasped by a strong desire to paint our kitchen/living room red. No freaking clue why, the idea just came to me. I think because there [...]
