Dar for Every Season (or at least today)
I tried to sing "February" in the shower this morning and realized, as I do every year, that my voice is just not pitched for the song.
So I switched over to "Iowa", which is of course perfectly suited to my voice. Not that anyone is surprised.
So, in googling for the links, I learned that:
1."February" is followed by "Iowa" on Mortal City2. I ( Read more... ) -
Currents, of many kinds (Risk Post #2)
I was wrong about a lot of things that happen in real jobs. Some of them make me cringe (bullet points rather than complete sentences), some of them make me chortle with glee (in fact, only losers put clip art on PowerPoints). I thought an annual review, face-to-face, sounded like a very stressful thing, and indeed I have friends who put on their ( Read more... ) -
Remember the Wow
The local rag runs a financial columnist that I usually more-or-less agree with. I was pleased to see a tag on the front page touting his latest column, I think phrased as "savings resolutions for a new year." I chucked aside sports, arts, and two sections of baldly sentimental human-interest stories (Even using my definition of news, rather than ( Read more... ) -
Something to Remember (Risk Post #1)
Dear Math,
Most times, you're only terrified of something until you start doing it.
Dive in. Don't delay.
(Most times. Driving in snow is terrifying before, during, and after. That is not a risk. It is stupid. Don't do that.)
Love, Yourself. -
Because Traditions Matter
So what if I'm the only person in the blogosphere who still does this? This is a completely unbreakable tradition by now, dammit.1. What did you do in 2013 that you'd never done before ( Read more... ) -
Journey 2013: Where I Live Now
I didn't know where I'd be living, back when SunflowerAKB and I established our lists for this year's challenge. I mean, I assumed it would be in the Metropolis, but I know my days in HipHood are limited and I didn't know if my time might be up ( Read more... ) -
Special Snowflakes and all of that
All right, I've cooled off enough to talk about "that article". (See my last post for commentary from sunflowerakb and chemgal ( Read more... ) -
Journey 2013: Gratitude
I'm catching up on Grey's Anatomy right now, despite being home on Thursday night*. I'd planned on madly cleaning the house and baking in advance of a NerdFamily deluge. The phone has been ringing every night with calls from the College Alumni Phoneathon, which I ignore because, hello, I give faithfully every May. This time I checked when the phone ( Read more... ) -
Journey 2013: Ghosts
Back when I met Danny Colcannon, I'm pretty sure he leaned over to my friend J and asked some version of, "who the hell is she?" (I paraphrase.) I didn't hear the beginning of J's response (so I'm only 50% sure it was about me), but it ended with "and she's so sweet." In the event I was actually being spoken of, it marks the first time that phrase ( Read more... ) -
Potential New Year's Destinations
If I pull this off, it will be my third New Year's trip. That makes it a tradition, and a Thing Than I Do. Not that I'm putting too much importance on this or anything ( Read more... )
