My mom got me My Life in France by Julia Child for my birthday! I am really excited to read it as I love Julia Child, I love France, and have been interested in reading biographies and memoirs lately. She also knitted me a shrug. Which reminds me, I should probably try to bang out […]

Sun came out today, so I walked three miles. At the midway point I stopped for a coffee and read a couple of essays in my library book, including a very interesting piece by Malcolm Gladwell about the phenomenon of six degrees of separation. Brian is at hapkido. For dinner I am making roasted vegetables […]

Potatoes au gratin bubbling in the oven. I love gruyere cheese a lot. Brian is home, relaxing in the office with his video game. Today we slept in late and then after breakfast went downtown for coffee and personal projects at the cafe. I’ve been working on my book this weekend. Started reading “You Can’t […]

The lasagne I made is so good, I will have two pieces! And two glasses of wine! Hic! I got my library card and decided to be incredibly un-discerning about what I check out. Look, I don’t have a job, I have time to read three books. So I pulled a few things off the […]

+ most of the posts on my friends page from today are from people in Seattle. *~ oooooh ~* + I just cleaned the tub. It was groce. Most of the filth was just dust because we don’t use our tub. Our tiny, carpeted bathroom has one of those split shower/tub deals. Never again, man. […]

I noticed yesterday in the novel I am reading that the author uses only one verb to describe a character speaking: “said”. “blah blah blah,” he said. “doo da doo,” I said. I scanned several pages to see if it seemed deliberate; it did. No “replied” or “blurted” or “laughed” or even “asked.” Almost unfailingly […]

I went downtown this morning after breakfast and did a little shopping. Well, I returned a purse I didn’t like and bought a new one that I love. That’s how I roll. After that, I met up with Brian at the Embarcadero Cinema and we watched a little Irish film called “Once”. I really loved […]
