Why am I always the last to know about these things?

(Answer: Because I never read anyone else's blogs.)

I just watched the wonder that is Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, mere hours, if not minutes, before it was to be taken down. If you read this before midnight of July 20th (midnight Pacific time I assume), it may not be too late. I laughed. I ( Read more... )

I don't even know what to call what I just did, but it was tasty.

My cooking adventure has taken leaps and bounds this week as apparently I've broken free of the my strict dependence on recipes and begun to experiment. It all started last Thursday when I was feeling down. I knew I didn't want to eat crap; I didn't really feel like cooking; but I ( Read more... )

welfy has been doing this and I like it a lot.

1. It begins with a list of all 26 letters of the alphabet.

2. Comment with something for me to talk about that starts with one of those letters. Make me babble about anything - TV shows, actors, actresses, food, etc. Be creative. (For example: for A, applesauce, anteaters, Adam Sandler - anything you'd ( Read more... )

Last year, I posted about a minor mystery involving my Minor family. Well, you may recall that a few months ago, I went to the home of Opal Smith, an elderly relative, and scanned a bunch of old photographs. Among them were a couple of photographs of my great-great-grandmother, Gorda Wright Minor, looking very young, standing at the graves of her ( Read more... )

(Also, anodiel is just awesome. And I've been staying in my apartment for the past three nights!)

I don't know what it is, but I'm becoming less and less comfortable with broadcasting my life to the world. I used to have some 200 friends on here. I've cut that drastically, but at around 90, I still feel like I'm speaking too loudly at a party. I consider many of you friends. But my life is changing. I'm becoming a more private person.
