(Untitled)
This post delighted me so totally fully much, other than the medical stuff of course. The waving statues and your comments made me laugh out loud. "We got a bingo everyone! Over here, it's us! Bingo winners!" They also look a little like dearly departed bingo players who are headed into the big Bingo Hall in the sky where they serve milk and ( Read more... ) -
Recap
Overall, I think I'd give the past 8 days a B+.
* Last Saturday Chris and I went to Sacramento with fallulah71 for the day. She had two spare tickets to see the musical "Mama Mia" and asked if we wanted to come along. I'm not really into musicals (or generally any theater for that matter), but a production built around the music of ABBA? I'm in. We ( Read more... ) -

Last night I watched a really interesting documentary on National Geographic about a search for a lost fresco of Leonardo da Vinci in Florence. In the 16th century Leonardo painted a fresco, "The Battle of Anghiari", on one of the walls of the Salone dei Cinquecento (Hall of the Five Hundred) in the Palazzo Vecchio. He abandoned it before it was ( Read more... ) -
Saturday Morning Post
This was the first full work week I’ve had in a little while, thanks to holidays and back-to-back colds, and I swear it feels shorter than the short weeks. It’s a strange phenomenon, this. As much as I love three day weekends, I’m always surprised at how long the following week feels. A four day week can feel like it takes ten days to finish.

Monday Morning You Sure Look Fine
Another quiet morning in Northern California with a charming cold rain. I thought we were supposed to have sunshine for the whole three day weekend, so it was a nice surprise to wake up to the wet stuff this morning. Naturally, the rain came because I had already watered my yard yesterday.
Today is President's Day in the United States, and I'd like ( Read more... ) -
Untitled Post Without Structure or Form
A cold, quiet rainy morning in Northern California. It's still early here, really early, and I am comfortably ensconced in the corner spot at Starbucks where I can observe the room and blend into the wallpaper.
This is my favorite Starbucks because it's so close to my house, but the staff here are very nice. A few years ago I met up with some ( Read more... ) -
Monday Monday
This morning I woke up early, as I always do, and decided to get out of the house and treat myself to coffee and a pumpkin scone (NOM) at my favorite Starbucks. I don't much care if you sneer at me (I know how many people feel about Starbucks), because sometimes it just feels good to sit someplace warm and clean with free wifi and comfy seats, ( Read more... ) -
Video Post
I'm home from work today feeling sickly, and in my boredom and desire to escape what will surely be a long day of denting my couch, I came across this video meme. I think the purpose is to demonstrate how you pronounce certain words, and what words you use to describe things. I've seen this one before, but found it again recently and thought I'd ( Read more... ) -
2011 The Year in Review
I'm not sure what grade to give 2011. I mean, it certainly had to be better than the suck-filled 2010, so I had high hopes that it couldn't be much worse. Thankfully it wasn't. Overall I'd give it a B-. After all, I did go to Venice in the Spring, and I met David Sedaris (not at the same time).
Every year between Christmas and New Year's I pull ( Read more... )
