So, on Sunday afternoon, I got rear-ended.  I was driving home from the B-Quik with my friend Becki, and we were stopped at the intersection of Boston State Road and Chestnut Ridge Road, all set to make a left turn.  I was in he right lane, had my left-hand turn blinky-blink light on, and then BAM!  We get this impact from the back of the car that ( Read more... )

"To brew a perfect cup of tea
Is not a complete mystery

Heat water--fresh, pure, clear
Pour it in a pot of leaves

Smell the steam
Wait awhile

Sip the liquor
Sit and smile

Even better, in the end
Share the tea pot with a friend."

Yes, I know that I haven't posted in awhile...mostly because a. I don't have internet at my apartment and b. have the time to sit in front of the pc.  There's so many people that I'd like to email, but since I usually end up treating e-mails like real letters, that usually means I don't end up spending the time to email all that many people either ( Read more... )

     So, I have been meaning to post for awhile but haven't quite been in the right mood.  On Friday I just chilled and took my week's Sabbath day rest, as the only non-lazabout thing that I did was to tour the art gallery on one of the Free Gusto at the Gallery days.  I managed to do the Elmwood Avenue Arts Fest in alittle under two hours with my ( Read more... )

i had a rotten day yesterday and I still feel exhausted from the weekend...perhaps i'm alittle anemic, i don't know...all it do know is that I want a hug or to be held for awhile or both... *sigh*

So, here's my thoughts & whatnot...And I wanna reread it again...feel like there was soooo much crammed into the last three hundred pages and that my heat-dulled brain missed some important bits of info.  Like: How in the heck did Draco Malfoy get the Elder Wand??!!  Chapters 33 & perhaps 34 spark some interesting discussion...check out this past ( Read more... )

checking out the news...and I finally heard about Rupert Murdoch's proposed acquistion of the Dow Jones stock reporting service, which also emcompasses the Wall Street Journal.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/31/AR2007073100896.html?hpid=topnews  I can't believe that more people aren't outraged about this...its a trust ( Read more... )

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I made it back to Buffalo from Rhode Island okay, albeit alittle tired. Just wanted to say thanks again to Jess and Scott & Meghan for putting me up on the couch/floor.  I had a great time, and am glad that I went on the trip, even though i coudn't afford it.  I'm not exactly sure why a trip that's supposed to ( Read more... )
