When I finally unpack my stereo and take all my CD's out of the boxes they've been in for the last eight months, I need to listen to more albums.  Not necessarily on vinyl, though that is always a possibility, but in an "albums as larger works of music" kind of way.  It has been SO long since I've just sat down and listened to a whole album.  I ( Read more... )

I don't usually do these, but Esme tagged me, so I guess I have to.  Actually it's a little exciting ( Read more... )

Tonight Devan shaved my hair into a mohawk, and I'm pretty damn psyched about it. Other than my poor three day attempt at a faux-hawk a month or so ago, I've actually never had one. Maybe it's because my mom would NEVER let me when I was a kid, but even since then. In any case, it's very rad.

Oliver's first Christmas was awesome! It was really ( Read more... )

It's funny that when everybody I haven't seen in a while asks me what's new, I am always flummoxed for anything to say. Not that there's nothing at all new to report, I can just never think of it at the time. So that leads me to this journal entry ( Read more... )

...at long last, I post again, though not from my own computer as I would have hoped.

The garage/loft is taking much longer than expected (I guess these things always do), though what's done so far looks awesome.  Our apartment is beautiful, perfectly sized, full of light, and laid out great.  I just can't wait until it's done!  Living at the in- ( Read more... )

I suppose the reason I haven't posted pictures from Ollie's first Sox game yet is the recent sorry state of affairs in Red Sox Nation.  It's been a tough two weeks, that's for sure.  In any case, now that we're moving and our computer will be in storage for a month, I figured I'd get them up while I had the chance.  So Birch, this is for you.

Good weekend to see the Sox... THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING, BITCH!  I so can't wait, and I love that it's going to be Ollie's first game.  Oh yes, and I will chant "Yankees Suck" with pride.

Been doing a lot of cooking lately, mostly with vegetables from my garden.  Zucchini breads, Pesto, Salsa, Eggplant Parm, Sweet Potatoes for the boy (I made baby ( Read more... )

The garden is starting to get a little out of control, but it's all good.  My tomatoes are finally ripening.  I have crazy big zucchini, squash and eggplant in my fridge and plenty more on my plants.  The beets, radishes, and I kale I seeded for fall have germinated already, and it's almost time to check my carrots.  My butternut vines are crawling ( Read more... )

Here they are!  So jazzed.  The artist was awesome, ollie had fun, and everything came out great.  Thoughts?
