Happy December 1st! I figured I'd update this since I'm trying not to do anything more industrious right now. Hope all of your Thanksgivings went well, American readers. Mine was okay--I had a head cold for the majority of it, but it wasn't too bad and it gave me an excuse for not being more social. (Huzzah!) Crazy family antics still the same ( Read more... )

The Internet (not the World Wide Web as we think of it now, but the exchange ability between computers) is turning 40 ( Read more... )

So, at my secretary job, this email was sent to the church inbox. I'm totally not kidding, and I haven't altered this in any way, shape, or form. It would spoil the beauty of how utterly ridiculous it is.

Really, I like my job enough that I don't need to be on here updating (fail at updating in any decent interval on my part, yes I know) while at work, but I got an email from LJ Techie Folk, and it told me to come check out my recent entries, and I always do what I'm told, of course, so here I am ( Read more... )

Briefly dropping in to say hello, LiveJournal, in a rare moment of internet access.  I hope all of you are doing well.  I'm doing slighly less well, as I spent the beginnings of this weekend with family at my grandmother's funeral.  It wasn't as sad as it could have been, as she's been ready to go for years and thank God she's in a place where she' ( Read more... )

This is for all of my friends who get cranky with me because I correct their spelling sometimes. A project that I'm working on right now is transcribing a sixteenth-century play from the facsimiles to modern spelling and typeface. I'm doing it in two stages; first, get it into modern typeface, then go back and figure out the modern word ( Read more... )

There's something about the sound of a cello that is just mesmerizing. And something about dogs that just takes so much energy ( Read more... )

Although kids are better at it, people in general say the darndest things. In continuing honor of lily_handmaiden, I present here the memorable quotes of winter term 2009. Celtic Ink will resume its usual programming...later. Soon I'll be going abroad and then I'll figure the rest of my life out, so it may be a bit before I get on any sort of track that I may ( Read more... )

Life just seems to be determined to crush me of late. I had a concert this morning at a church downtown (it went half-well; some of the singers butchered a couple of the songs and it took a lot, lot, lot of self-restraint and prayer and encouraging looks from a friend of mine in the audience for me not to turn around and thwap them with my music) ( Read more... )

Greetings, all! As I get stuff ready for a choir concert later today, I thought I'd drop by and say hello as it's been about a month ( Read more... )
