For anyone who (a) cares and (b) hasn't noticed yet, I started getting some Disney cruise pictures up on my flickr (link is at the top of the journal). I at the moment have 370-something posted, encompassing days 1 and 2 of the trip. I need to figure out how to change the album cover though, because it currently looks really stupid with the photo ( Read more... )

So, pretty much everyone knows this already, but I applied to MFA programs in playwriting this past winter. I had been afraid to publicly mention it in a blog before this even though I had talked about it to everyone pretty much constantly. Discussing it in a "public" setting like a blog was scary, so I wanted to wait until the process was all over ( Read more... )

This past week has been a bit crazy with everything that has been going on. On a completely unrelated note, the Celtics won the NBA finals last night... yay! Kevin Garnett looked like a little boy who'd just won the championship of his after-school league and was so happy and emotional and it was adorable. :)

But back to the real topic now... the ( Read more... )

The 2008 application cycle officially ended for me last night. Sort of, anyway. I'd left my keys at home that morning, so to kill some time after work so that Brian could get home before me and unlock the door, I'd walked from my bus first to CVS in Brighton Center and then back to Oak Square to pick up some pizza for dinner. Brian got in while I ( Read more... )

And just so that I don't come across sounding like my usual "all talk and no action" self, I just want to note that I am going to write during lunch today, even though lunch-writing is usually not my most productive because I only have the hour to work with. This morning though I just really wanted to get started one of my new ideas and I had to ( Read more... )

 I was reading this article on Slate earlier today that talked about writer's block versus procrastination, and it really resonated with me. I am such a total procrastinator about my writing, and there's really no excuse for it. Whether it's motivated by fear or exhaustion or just plain laziness doesn't matter all that much--what matters is that I ( Read more... )

I really should be going to bed. We're trying to wake up early tomorrow (Saturday) so that we'll be tired early on Saturday night and can get to bed early and wake up by 4:00 to get to the airport no later than 5:00 on Sunday morning. We're mostly packed, I've read both guidebooks I bought online shortly after booking the trip, and we printed up ( Read more... )

Look, two updates in the same month! Tomorrow is Patriots' Day (yay). My work does not get the day off (yet Brian's office in Billerica does), but I took it as a vacation day. Patriots' Day is the one baseball game every year that Brian's father is able to attend because it starts so much earlier in the day and he can get back to Holyoke in time ( Read more... )
