I now live with both of my guys. The apartment is still rather chaotic, but we make steady improvement nearly every day. Before too long, I'll have a kitchen I can cook and do laundry in, actual light fixtures in all the ceilings (instead of weird bare-bulb holders), stuff more or less unpacked and organized, and excess paraphernalia given away ( Read more... )

For those of you who aren't on Facebook or didn't see my post there, I've started blogging about my business-in-infancy over at Blogspot. Please share widely, especially with friends who are big ladies who have found shopping for clothing to be an immensely frustrating experience ( Read more... )

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” -- George SantayanaI’m writing this the day after right-wing nationalist and anti-Muslim extremist Anders Behring Breivik (hereafter ABB) killed 7 of his fellow Norwegians with a fertilizer bomb parked in front of a government building, and then topped that atrocity by slaughtering 85 ( Read more... )

I started another Germany class today. Instead of the usual line of questions (which I actually kind of missed for wanting to know who my classmates were and where they came from and why they're in Munich), we had somewhat more esoteric questions, one of which was "Who is your favorite novel hero?"

...my first foray through my friends list, and first post, in months should just be a re-linking, but as a person who makes something of a living doing language-y things, I just had to say:

This. So this.

Summed up perfectly by one quote if you don't want to make with the clicky:

...I'm totally sucking at Ravelry as well. I was looking at my project page, and a whole slew of my latest WIPs and FOs (that's works-in-progress and finished objects, for the non-fibery) have no pictures attached to them. Bad Mickey ( Read more... )

Dearest friends and readers, you haven't been missing my posts or been excluded from some S00per-seekrit FL filter. I just seriously haven't posted in almost two months.

This is due to a number of factors, foremost among which is the fact that, since the first of August, I've been a full-time residential student at Den Skandinaviske ( Read more... )

Between the airing of the pilot in May to the launch of the series in September, my music in the summer of '09 was all about one thing: GLEE! I re-watched the pilot some crazy amount of times, not least of which to show it to my Danish friends and say, "See? This is what I (kinda) did in high school!" I listened to the two singles from the pilot ( Read more... )
