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.

Wii-dow

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 […]

Hoover Dam

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 […]
