Bookseller, baker, ricotta-cheese maker. I'm a reader, a wannabe writer, have a mothballed J.D., and am little bit crazy. These are the days of my lives.

The husband upgraded the version of Wordpress I use yesterday, which involved a fair amount of cussing at the site host server– #&*&%^&%$ timed logouts and non-intuitive layout and fucked up contradictory upload and ftp client server sections, GoDaddy can Yo Mama as far as the BH is concerned– and then a certain amount of […]

This is a movie review– of sorts. It’s also somewhat surreal– Magritte’s Treachery of Images, except instead of this not being a blog post or a movie review, ceci n’est pas ma vie, my life. At least it’s not the life that I want.
I’ve got about five drafts of this post started, all puttering out. Much […]

Details, details, details. A domain squatter, a bit of capital-D Depression, a whole host of crap at work, life, the universe and anything. (Unfortunately for me, the answer wasn’t 42.)* Lots of reasons to take a bit of time off, though not quite this much.
The most obvious change is I’m dot net instead of dot com. […]

I am trying to whip this here long neglected blog back into shape, and need to re-do my link list and blogroll. I was in a frenzy yesterday and I know I deleted some I didn’t mean to. If you’d like a link, or I deleted yours by accident, please either drop me a comment […]

I’ve been having a spam-bot problem and accidentally deleted a number of your much-welcome, legitimate comments, especially on the “Guiltiest Day of the Year” post. Please don’t take it as a comment on your comment. It was an error of an overly-vigourous spam cleaning, only.

Our laptop has been kaput. Stone dead. Not resting. Demised, bereft of life, off the twig, shuffled off the techno coil, kicked the bucket, and joined the choir electronic. Our laptop is no more. It has ceased to be. It has expired, and gone to meet its maker. It is pushing up the techno-daisies. Dead. […]
The fantabulous Schmutzie has beaten me to the punch and posted links to all the posts that were read at the BlogHer community keynote last Saturday. These posts represent why blogging is so wonderful– honesty, humor, varieties of experiences laid out for judgment– and being in that audience, trying to give back some of the […]
Never let them say women don’t dress for each other. They do. Significant others of either sex have nothing to do with it. It’s about friendship, and platonic crushes, and admiration, and awe, and just a little envy. It’s a desire to shine for people who might, just might, like us, if we do everything […]

Um, OK. So, I’m all cool and stuff because I just won a hard trial and got big ups from a judge who hates out-of-state lawyers, right? And, um, ‘cuz I am still doing freelance writing on the side, albeit at a slower pace than when I was underemployed, right? And, um, ‘cuz I have […]

Sausage Egg McMuffins and Quarter Pounders with Cheese are nice for breakfast and rush-hour dinner every once in a while. Not every day. Ugh. Especially interspersed with Courthouse Food, which is Universally Awful.
