And then I became famous!
Ok, not really. But this will all make sense in a little bit. No Tree Project today, I'm having a combination mental health day/recovering from a little stomach bug day at home. But instead of a tree picture, I have pictures and a story from Monday.
Monday morning cookie2697 and I went to the Starbucks near work for our usual weekly run. The rest of the ( Read more... ) -
Tree Project Day 1
I've been thinking about doing this project for a long time. Years probably. Most mornings I take the lightrail into work at exactly the same time (about 6:45 a.m.). I park my car at a station near my home and usually wait several minutes for the train to arrive. There's a tree across the freeway from where I stand and I have spent hours over ( Read more... ) -
Oscars 2009
I'm so pleased that Slumdog Millionaire won best score and song. Latika's Theme from the score is one of the most gorgeous pieces of musical scores that I've heard in a long time. And the song Jai Ho is one of those catchy tunes you just can't get out of your head. Plus, it plays over some very entertaining credits at the end of the movie.

In Brief(ish)
Since I doubt I'm ever going to get the last nine days posted as anything other than drive by statements, here goes:
*Mila Kunis from That 70's Show was on my flight from Albuquerque to LA. She was just the first of many celebrity sightings over the weekend.
*I arrived at the hotel in LA and checked into the Doctor Who Gallifrey One convention ( Read more... ) -
Sitting and thinking
I've been in the Albuquerque airport for a few hours now, waiting for my flight to LA to board. I got here early since that was when my ride could drop me off and I'd really like to get on the plane and be on my way NOW. The flight looks as though it might be delayed too. The one good thing about most airports these days? Free wireless ( Read more... ) -
Yum . . .
I found the perfect remedy for a sore throat! Ice cream! More specifically, Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee ice cream. Not only does it taste good, but it helps numb the scratchy feeling. At least for awhile.
I guess I'll just have to have some more later :) -
(Untitled)
I'm going to attempt this entry without it sounding too much like a woe-is-me pity party. The last couple of weeks have just been so busy lately that I feel like I don't have much time to myself or time to really do too much except work and occasionally sleep. And the upcoming next few weeks don't show too much sign of letting up ( Read more... ) -
Catching up on life, my first five books of 2009!
This last week was truly draining. I worked until after 8:00 p.m. a couple of nights and I was running around so much that I'm not even completely sure what I actually accomplished at work. My brain is starting to feel a bit like swiss cheese where things just seem to fall through and disappear into the ether. I answered my phone at work at one ( Read more... ) -
Earth
Is it odd that watching the trailer for Disney's film "Earth" actually made me tear up ( Read more... )
