Fresh Starts, New Habits
Three months ago, I wrote an entry about re-vamping my life for more inspiration and happiness. For a couple of weeks, I made small bits of progress, but my "step by step" approach proved to be no match to the overwhelming power of unhealthy cycles and reinforced bad habits ( Read more... ) -
sometimes the little things matter
For the past 5 years, I've been using the same brand of paper journal. It's really only been 6 years since I've developed a strong journalling habit, and it turns out that the physical tools of journalling really do make a huge difference for me. It's kind of funny, actually, that I attribute this very important part of my life to an ex-boyfriend ( Read more... ) -
Redesigning My Life: a Beginning
I've said a lot of this before, but for my current purpose, it needs to be said again:

I <3 Gladys
I know, I'm becoming That Person who only posts links to silly things on the internet.
But unlike last night's ridiculousness, today's discoveries are just plain funny:
Ellen Degeneres meets her comedy match.
Ellen and Gladys talk about American Idol
...and about technology and politics
I really want this woman to be my grandmother. -
like a train wreck
I couldn't take my eyes off this ridiculous game show.To it's credit, there's nothing even remotely "real" about it. Not even a pretense of real life, or skills that would ever come in handy anywhere. Apparently it's from Japan, which kind of makes sense given the other Japanese game shows or competitions I've seen somewhere ( Read more... ) -
