Some genealogy success today
All in all, the genealogy portion of my trip has been disappointing. But today, I did have a little success at the Bohemian National Cemetery, where a bunch of my ancestors are buried. Most of what I found were older, from the 1880s, but the major one we located was my great-great aunt, the girl that was murdered by her husband. I went into more ( Read more... ) -
Vaycay
In Chicago this week. it's nice to be "back home," and the weather is SO much nicer than Florida. We've been eating our way through our favorite restaurants, which is making Dad very happy. Today was Bohemian - that's our ethnicity, and Dad's been seriously missing good Bohemian food. Me, I guess I'm not a good Bohemian, because I'm not as over ( Read more... ) -
Sweet home, Chicago
After initially planning to go to Washington, DC this month for a short family vacation, we decided instead to go back home to Chicago. We haven't been back in about 5 years and my dad is missing the food something fierce. And the last time we went, I could only stay a couple of days, so I didn't get to really do much. This time we'll be there 6 ( Read more... ) -

Even though I doubt my journals are in danger of being deleted (the new definition of inactive is that the journal only has one post in addition to being inactive for 2 years, and all of mine have more than one post), I wanted to go on and post something to the ones I most wanted to keep safe ( Read more... ) -
Huh
I got a letter in the mail today from AvMed, stating that they recently had a few laptops stolen from their offices, and that there is concern that their customers' personal information may have been compromised. I've gotten these sorts of things before, usually from credit cards, and once from my design school. I don't generally pay attention to ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of TV: Day 8
Day 8 - A show everyone should watch
Isn't this the same as Day 2 (a show you wish more people were watching)? I don't know if there are any shows everyone should watch. People have different tastes, so obviously there wouldn't be anything that every single person liked. I guess I'll go back to The Big Bang Theory, just because it's so dang funny ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of TV: Days 6 & 7
Behind again. I completely forgot about this yesterday.
Day 6 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show
Since I couldn't decide on just one favorite show, do I list my favorite eps from each? My favorite LOST episode is probably the Pilot. It was the one that hooked me, and I'm not sure I ever loved another episode as much. My favorite Buffy ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of TV - Days 4 & 5
Day 4 - Your favorite show ever
I'm finding that I just can't be decisive with this meme. Once again, I can't choose just one. :)
My favorite show is kind of a 3-way tie between Friends, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and LOST. I can't help it. I like them all, and I can't choose just one. Friends is my all-time favorite sitcom, while LOSTis my ( Read more... ) -
30 days of TV - Days 2 & 3
Wow, I'm pretty lame if I'm already behind on this after just one day! I meant to do Day 2 at work yesterday, but then a computer blew up (not literally, but it might as well have) and I had to spend the next 3 hours trying to get another one set up so the pro shop would be able to operate. In the end I had to bring in my own old computer for ( Read more... ) -
Meme: 30 Days of TV
I've seen this on my f-list and thought I'd give it a shot. I post here so rarely these days, maybe it'll give me a reason to post more often again. :) And I do love TV.
So, Day 1: A show that should never have been canceledThere are a lot of shows out there that get canned too soon. I know the popular choice is "Firefly," but even though I ( Read more... )
