I talked to Esteban today, using VoIP technology, which was cool because about six months ago, I learned all about VoIP on one of my freelance projects and there we were, his voice going into the computer, through the internet and into my ear. Which is just amazing when you think about it, but then […]

Ok, so I mentioned that I wasn’t lonely? I’m not. I’m in a funk. I don’t think the funk is related to my aloneness, but it’s certainly not assisted by it either. I’m going to focus on house stuff this weekend, and hopefully losing myself in To Do lists and mini projects and floor shopping […]

Ok, I only got about a minute of raw film on Saturday night when my battery gave out, but with some tweaking and a little “stock” footage (from our last trip out), I was able to cobble together this. Enjoy. Note: you’ll want to download this rather than play it from the source. PS. Thank […]

On Sunday afternoon, after seeing most of the con attendees off, Lisa-Marie and I decompressed by feeding ducks at the wildlife sanctuary (who were unexpectedly not very interested in our corny offerings) and then coffee at Sbux. We had made loose plans for something to do, but we were both so tired we decided to […]

So I handed in my story today. Or rather, the massive revision of the baby story that originally appeared on this page awhile back. Someone once said that short stories are never really finished, just abandoned and I will tell you that that story was definitely wrapped in plastic and thrown into a back alley […]

Everyone seems to be looking for my subtext recently. I don’t know what that’s about. I’m usually What You See Is What You Get girl, so it’s a weird turn of events. I am not that deep, people. Candy? Is that candy? Can I have some of your candy? So yeah, I was chatting with […]

We called Cingular’s national support and after a ten minute call, I have a new phone. It is charging. We shall see how long it lives. My other broken phone isn’t going back until we make sure this one isn’t similarly broken or broken in new, yet-to-be-determined ways. Also, I would like to mention that […]

Follow ups on some past entries: My knee still hurts. But definitely not as much as it did before. Also, you know how last week I found out that my professor won an O.Henry award? This week, I learned that one of my classmates has had a story accepted to Glimmer Train. While the O.Henry […]
