Wow with all the De-Lurking last entry! Sometimes the statistics number is just a number and the only people who seem real to me are the voices that talk back in e-mail or comments or in the lobby of a hotel in San Diego. I forget that there are also a lot of people who […]

Yea tho it is January, I will schlepp myself to the website and update. Even though I have not even an ounce of originality in my entire gross national product of a body (hi, Slimfast? You taste like loose leaf paper. You’re making me salivate when I hear Ovaltine commercials and my god, one of […]

Now that the holidays are over, it is business as usual at Chez Bix (I always imagine that this is pronounced with a heavy Frahnch assent, like Shay Beaks) with one exception: I am fully engaged and working in my very own office. Esteban told Mopie that I was nesting, to which I replied ‘Oh […]

Or rather, spent so many hours making this that I no longer feel like looking back, in anger or otherwise. Here you go. Enjoy. The giant one that is not recommended with slow connections: 2005 Moments (in Mpg) And the […]

So Christmas happened. It was more or less like every Christmas ever, except that I wore a skirt (and looked fabulous) or a black velvet hoodie (and looked less fabulous) and June made ham (eeeuw) and Esteban went to church with me. Yes. Really. You might remember last year’s episode, in which he balked and […]

The Holiday Cards are done. Just in the nick of time. I managed to go to the post office without hyperventilating too much, taking in one of the little Alumni CD surprise packages (um, heh, surprise!) so that they could weigh it (Erica, that was yours!) and then sell me the stamps I needed so […]

I like to pretend that I am strong, some kind of new millennium Katherine Hepburn, chin stuck out, ready to take on the world or maybe just walk around looking really sleek in trousers. But in truth, I am not a Kate. Other than a fervor for a proper foundation garment, we have little in […]

For those of you who have been waiting with bated breath for information about my last story in class. Some of this might have been on the notify list, but since our class ended up being so small, instead of a standard two stories, we had time to workshop three per student. Thus, after I […]
