I've been a terrible friend. I neglected to bother making plans with anyone over winter break when we all had the time to get together ( Read more... )

I've shifted my regular-blogging presence to WordPress, at starskim.wordpress.com. It's focused around my adventures in domesticity right now, and I'm keeping this one running as a bitching blog for when I just need to rant about something completely unrelated. But that means it's going to be infrequently updated, and if you want to keep track of ( Read more... )

Confession: I am completely jealous of pretty much every blog on my reading list. The writers always seem to have something meaningful to say, or at least something not completely asinine ( Read more... )

First, I'd like to make it clear that I am extremely bored right now and have no fireworks or other items to blow up this Fourth of July. I'm sure I've got plenty of things in the apartment that I could cause to explode if I so wished, but I like my products as they are now much better. They're far more useful that way.

Second, I need to point ( Read more... )

Forgive the stupid title. But I have discovered baby beets and Romaine lettuce in my garden. Nothing else sprouting yet, but it's coming. Most of it isn't supposed to be up for a few more days yet; the rain will help tremendously. Also means I don't have to go drag the hose around again!

I think I've actually developed some sort of obsession with household goods. I like shopping for them, even ones I know we don't need or have no space for at the moment. I even wander the internet for them. Organize.com (which has always been one of my favorite shopping sites) is having a clearance on a bunch of stuff right now. I can spend an hour ( Read more... )

I'm never quite sure what to do with it. I've had like 6 mothers over my life and I can't possibly visit them all. Plus I'm never sure if it's a good idea to visit the biological one, even, because odds are we get into an argument or something and she ends up depressed or passive-aggressively saying "Thanks for the great Mother's Day." as we leave ( Read more... )

If anyone still reads this and wants to fancy a guess at which number(s) is(/are) yours, I'll be happy to cough it up. I like doing these more for the guesses people have than vaguely venting. If no one bothers I'll be posting an answer key anyway.

1. I hope you're happy and you don't give a damn, I really do. 
2. It makes me sad you're getting everything ( Read more... )

I have two classes- one that I only go to for exams/turning stuff in, and one that's only ever half what I want out of it. And lands smack in the middle of my day, interrupting anything I might really have accomplished had it been earlier or later ( Read more... )
