Downtown Henderson, July 04th. People milling the downtown streets, heedless of the odd vehicle passing through, the drivers white-knuckled and tense, weaving through a crowd that just doesn't care. We stick to the sidewalk and find a curb at the corner of Third and Water that looks fine for sitting ( Read more... )

I went to Evansville for a week. And then it took almost a week to put everything back in order at work. But here I am, caught up, finally. Until someone notices that I'm caught up, at least ( Read more... )

I've been away from LJ, mostly because in my downtime, I was rereading the Anne of Green Gables books. They've always been among my favorites and I love them more than ever now. They're all I've really felt up to writing about lately and I thought, how boring would that be? But I finished the series yesterday, just in time to receive a much ( Read more... )

I've been out of steam lately. Nothing I feel like writing about. Sorry, f-list. Maybe when I'm feeling more chatty.

I'm stepping it up on organizing my friend's baby shower. It's a month and a half away now, so I figured it was time to move past the, "Hey. I'm going to do something," phase. This is all foreign waters for me. I had to look up baby shower invitation wording. I found it amusing that some templates suggested, "We will be showering our friend." I'd ( Read more... )

I have sucked at updating and reading my friends list lately. I've actually, god forbid, been busy at work. I know, the very idea, right? And when I'm not doing that, I'm rereading the Anne of Green Gables series all the way through for the first time as an adult. (It's even better now ( Read more... )

The death of Jonathan Crombie, aka The Only Gilbert Blythe That Mattered, led me down a YouTube rabbit hole of Anne of Green Gables behind-the-scenes specials copied from someone's dying VHS tapes. It was so strange to see Marilla smoking between takes (and all up in Megan Follows face, no less) and then putting the cigarette out in a full ashtray ( Read more... )

Hahahah, I just got rejected from joining ohnotheydidnt. It's really whatever, since I'd certainly never post there and the comments section is honestly kind of intimidating, so I'd probably never comment, either. Fun read, though.

I'm mostly just amused as to the why, considering they have something like 100,000 members. I'm boring and harmless. Maybe too ( Read more... )

I have a coworker who wears bow ties every day. Half the time, the colors don't even work all that well with the rest of his clothes, but no one cares, because of the novelty of seeing someone as young as 32 wearing a bow tie.

Every time someone comments on how much they like it, I use it as an excuse to agree,

My pregnant friend Heather had an ultrasound the other day. The next morning, she messaged me on our interoffice system, "He has fetal hydronephrosis." I didn't even know what that meant, but immediately, I felt my stomach sinking and my eyes watering ( Read more... )
