So this was suggested by khamsin (her original post) and I've joined in the group. Below are the rules. As you'll see, I'm a little late in getting my list posted, but so what else is new? I'm also in the midst of reading and reviewing books for the Children's Literature Comprehensive Database. So I'll be reading and reviewing like crazy. I could ( Read more... )

Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's the solstice. Maybe it's just me, but I feel very disconnected today. I didn't really notice it until I was driving and I realized that everything just seemed slightly off. I was noticing details but not seeing the big picture. Everything seemed to be somewhat slower than normal. I am just detached. It was ( Read more... )

I'm at the law school today doing my volunteer work by learning the administrator side of the new-to-me career services management system. It's not all that complicated especially since I'm not doing a lot of the serious updating, and so I really wish I had my iPod to help keep me going. I think that my plan yesterday of not really eating much ( Read more... )

I'm headed back to Kansas City today from Seattle. It's been a good trip, and I feel like I've been useful while I've been here.

It would take a lot of getting used to in order to live here, ( Read more... )

If you've been reading my journal for over a year then you know that I always post on February 14th, but not about Valentine's Day (or at least not directly). Today is the anniversary of my grandma's death and it's always hard. You'd think that after eight years that it would be easier. And to be honest, it is easier by a bit, but it still hurts ( Read more... )

Dear Everyone ( Read more... )

The wind is blowing outside in a way that sounds like winter but isn't. It smells like fall but isn't. Earlier it looked like summer but isn't. Every day right now is an odd mix of seasons that brings about a similar mix of feelings. I suppose the rather unknown nature of the weather just mimics the rather unknown nature of my life right now. ( Read more... )

I just discovered that Animalympics has a Wikipedia entry! And apparently some company in Germany has released it on dvd ( Read more... )

Yes, I can! I'm back online at home. More on the story later and updates on how the show went. For now though, I need to have some lunch.
