I am an auntie of a brand new baby girl! My sis-in-law Amelia went into labor at about 1:30 today so it was rather quick and I am so happy for her. Unfortunately, my brother is in Iraq so he wasn't there for the birth and they aren't going to name her until my brother gets to see a picture. Hopefully, I will have more info soon!

As for my sister ( ( Read more... )

I must say I was a tad disappointed with my day on friday. It was Dolls concert day and I worked the early shift so that I could make it to the show in time to take in all the festivites. Well, that didn't work out as I had planned. I left my house with enough time to get me there one hour before the show so that I could have plenty of time to ( Read more... )

I just got home from watching V for Vendetta.

HIGHLY recommended. It faltered a few times but overall I thought it was fantastic.
Not only that, but they played Antony and the Johnsons in the movie!
Yippee!

I don't remember too many details but in the first one, I was pregnant, about to give birth, and just waiting in this special birthing chair/tub. The strange part was that it was in the middle of some abandoned office building that looked like it was right out of the '20's. There were people ( Read more... )

To start off, on Saturday, I went to what was possibly one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls did a solo show at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and it was positively heavenly. Usually when the Dolls paly it is in a club atmosphere and everyone is loud and they are banging away on thier instruments and it is ( Read more... )

I just needed to state that Amanda's solo show was absolutely heavenly! I had forgotten how much difference a quiet audience can make! Now if she could only tour with a real piano all the time...

I also had loads of fun at Robyn, Ronny, and Dave's apartment afterwards (even though my cold got worse from lack of sleep, heh). It was so nice to ( Read more... )

My sister e-mailed me the scans from her ultrasound!

I haven't updates in a while so I thought I would just ramble on...

Yesterday would have been my grandmother's 100th birthday were she still alive!
Still, she made it to 91 years old so that is saying something.

My sister (who is 11-ish weeks pregnant) had her first ultrasound today!
She faxed me the sonogram but the quality was bad so I couldn't ( Read more... )
