Moving
Life is busy, and I am exhausted. I'm half-killing this journal - not because I don't like it, but because there's so much with my name out there and I need a break, a space I can write without worrying that my semi-professional life isn't crowding me. That said, I actually have another, personal journal, here. It's mostly friends-only, but if you ( Read more... ) -
Update and Contest Link
It's been a long, long time! I'm sorry I haven't been saying much or answering emails - pregnancy really took it out of me, and I had a lot of trouble in the latter trimesters, ending up on bed rest. But I have had my little baby now (pictures to come)!

I'm still coughing, which is limiting my computer time. Why? Loud, dry, hacking coughs have a tendency to make the ( Read more... ) -
Ranting...
Since ranting has been on my mind this week (thanks totherealljidol ), I did a search in the global OED (thanks, Harvard) for the meaning of "rant". Below is what it turned up. I find it interesting that several of the results are for languages other than English. I also quite like the idea of a rant being a jig. Hurrah for dancing!
Finally--before I let you get ( Read more... ) -
