Ah, I should address that last time I wrote here with any enthusiasm, I was covering my last trip to Washington State. Three months ago. Ah...that's a bit embarrassing, isn't it? Well, here's a quick wrap-up. Friends and I, we went to Pike Place Market and found the metal pig statue. It was very crowded and rainy. Some guy was playing "In Your Eyes ( Read more... )

Let's start with what I actually /am/ doing, which is writing a journal entry. I haven't done this in months. No one has said anything, so either no one reads this, or all my loyal fans are just too polite to say anything. "No, I don't wish to bother her, I know she's very busy with the science job and the stuffed animal hobby and that semi-feral ( Read more... )

(Please forgive the odd formatting. I wrote this journal as an e-mail to myself, and can't seem to fix it ( Read more... )

This is the first of what I hope to be many entries in the contest known as LJ Idol, in which one writes entries based on given prompts, and they are voted off the island if deemed not good enough by the masses, of course!

Okay, a heads-up to the people who come spying my journal from its actual page, rather than accessing it from a friends list feed - yes, things look a bit different.

The winner gets to feel good about being a winner!

I'm not sure if I've saved money using Groupon or spent money I had no plans to spend by using Groupon. Groupon offers great deals, but like many coupons, one of its aims is to get you to buy something you wouldn't normally buy in hopes that maybe you'll like it and return for more. This is a great service when it comes to restaurants, as I'm often ( Read more... )

Last week, college roomies Laura, Lisa, and I met up in Arizona. They had wanted to drive over and visit and wondered what we could do on this trip that we had not done last time they visited me in Phoenix. Though I didn't remember and had to be reminded of it, I suggested that we go to the Grand Canyon, as I'd been there once before, but I was ( Read more... )

8 days later, I get around to writing about it. Well, 29! What would be a nice, easy, and fun way to celebrate such a nothing-number birthday? ...How about Disneyland ( Read more... )
