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 Internet, besides being the source of all knowledge, porn and fanfiction (and, erm, we’ll get to that shameful new addiction of mine some other time, mmkay?) is also a source of new words, abbreviations and phrases, although sometimes it’s just responsible for making those words from music/tv/press go “viral.” (See, that’s a very Intarwebz […]

OMFG. So good. I would have taken a picture of the actual brownie, but I was too busy eating it.
I now return you to your regular programming.

I bought the BH a Wii that someone at work ended up not needing, and I am well on my way to becoming a Wii-dow even before he’s done setting the thing up. Everything that comes out of the box gets its name announced (“The Wii Controller Bar”) and as it’s assembled, its placement viis-a-viis […]

The BH’s colleague, Amy, who I’ve written about before, makes beautiful mosaic mirrors, boxes, and other crafty things under the name Riverview Crafters, is hosting a craft show at her home November 15, 2–8 pm. There will also be woven, leather, ceramic, and other textile and printed crafts. The Better Half, because he is a […]
There are lots more photos to come, but of everything in Vegas, Hoover Dam was certainly monumental. The heat and the dry desert air made the colors and air clarity astounding– stark shadows, bright outlines, incredible brightness and sky. I’m also a huge fan (along with the BH) of Art Deco architectural elements, of […]

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. […]

I may still have student loans to repay, and furniture inherited from relatives. I finally have a job with grownups, for grownup pay. But the real, true sign of adulthood? Matching silverware. Oneida Calm, if you’re curious. Many thanks to the BH, who got a $100.00 gift certificate to Linens n’ Things (or “Sheets n’ […]

It’s been a monsoon weekend in New England, spurts of miserable drizzle interspersed with lashings of rain. We went to brunch yesterday morning, despondent at the idea of consuming less than a thousand calories for breakfast at home, and meandered our way back, afterward, stopping for presents (I’m going to be an aunt!) and accident […]

An assortment of things in my head right now…
I am enjoying the new/old chair with the fancy upholstered seat my friend L. re-cycled to me after getting a new dining set. It’s just the right height and depth for sitting at the table with my legs up on the chair across from me, while I […]
