A Very Long Overdue Rant
About thirteen months ago, my husband and I were victims of an unprovoked, and very random, attack by three unknown young men - at the time, they were 20, 22 and 23 years of age. The attack occurred while we were responding to what should have been a routine noise complaint made by one of the other tenants of the apartment building where we were ( Read more... ) -
BACK WITH THE LIVING
Yet, once again, I am commenting on the fact that it seems to be an eternity since I last updated, and I guess it has. A number of things have kept me away from my computer these past few months, although nothing specifically. I did finally get my new computer all set up the way I like it. For me personally, it was quite the computer upgrade. I ( Read more... ) -
Slipping Away
Oh, my goodness. Sometimes, I would like nothing more than to be left alone to my own devices just for a few brief moments. I'm not even really demanding with the amount of time that I do get. It doesn't even have to be much at all, but it absolutely must be some! Right now, I am so not getting this and I am this close to a melt down. Even now, ( Read more... ) -
Making Plans For Nigel
Oh, my goodness. It seems like a near eternity since I last updated. Unfortunately, a bunch of other stuff ended up keeping me away from my computer. First of all, I just got a brand, spanking new computer which I am still in the process of getting all set up! Any of our computers that have come before this one, pale in comparison! I am so excited ( Read more... ) -
Rock, Rock, Rock 'n' Roll High School
Certain memories of our youth and adolescence seem so much more vivid and clearer than many others. I suspect that often this has to do with the memories relative importance in the overall scheme of our lives. One of my favourite teenage memories occurred approximately halfway through summer vacation as July quietly became August doing its very ( Read more... ) -
GOOGLE'S BOOK SEARCH BETA
A few month’s ago while looking up some information on a particular book, one of the results returned by Google directed me towards their new GOOGLE’S BOOK SEARCH BETA. Ever since I discovered this little gem of Google’s, I have been using it nonstop. If you have a Google user name, you are even able to add titles to your own library. Currently, I’ ( Read more... ) -
WHAT ABYSS?!?
February has not been particularly kind to me so I’ve found myself absent from the blogosphere in more ways than one! Pretty much up until today, I’ve been filled with an overwhelming amount of apathy and everything that tends to accompany these feelings of nothingness. Every so often I find myself in this exact same place, and I never really can ( Read more... ) -

SHAKE THE DISEASE
After running into our old friend and dealer the other day, it suddenly occurred to me the number of females that we know who found themselves pregnant in the past two years, have given birth, and yet do not currently have custody of their newborn. Ashley was just the most recent of at least a half a dozen, or even more. Of all of these women, I am ( Read more... )
