My arm is healing so now I can write to you in less pain. Not to say that I am not still lusting after a lot of sleep brought on by vicodin. I probably always will.
Last night i finished Queen of Scots by John Guy. It was interesting and factual but not as emotionally descriptive as I'd wished. Oh well. Not that some historian could claim to know ( Read more... )

Does anyone know where I can pick up some supplies for my riso print gocco online? (ie: screens, ink, bulbs, etc.) I haven't used it in two years, and all of my old favorite suppliers don't seem to pan out anymore.

My work schedule has been changed. Now I work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. So today I had a day off which I used to sleep for two hours and read for five. I didn't even get out of my pajamas from the night before, making it a whole 24 hours since I've worn day clothes. I've got an odd and uncomfortable head cold, so I am using that as a mild ( Read more... )

I finished reading, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khalled Hosseini. It's a modern work of fiction set in Afghanistan between the 70's and early W. regime. In that respect it's and interesting read. For someone that reads a lot, it seems rare to me to find a novel crafted in such a setting. It's a welcome change. Definitely a page turner, I found ( Read more... )

I've had to take a few days off from work because my scooter is being repaired. Or so I've been told, the repair shop isn't returning my phone calls.

Daniel cut my hair into a mohawk this weekend, when I told him I needed the haircut of a warrior. It's big and lovely, so I wore it to work today to get some reactions. After woerk I was sitting in the car waiting for my mom to get some cigarettes. The window was open, and this group of thugged out kids walked past. One of them looked at me through ( Read more... )

I've come home looking forward to laying on my bed, lounging in the breeze from the window, and reading Madam Bovary. Thank goodness for summer nights.

Oh, and single serving kool aid, tropical punch flavor.

Last night I finished Elizabeth and Mary: Cousins, Rivals, Queens by Jane Dunn. It was fantastically beautiful, fully researched and very entertaining. Check it out, fellow Tudor nerds.

+ I made the switch from windows to Mac...well, at least, am trying to. After using the same computer for eight or so years, it's hard to move all of the necessary information over. Andy has been really great in answering questions and helping me through. I've been a real brat about not knowing what to do sometimes. I owe him big time ( Read more... )
