I really have to change that number over there. Though it’s not entirely impossible to get to 500, it’s seeming unlikely. I’m going to leave it though and see where I get. I’ve now set aside time in the evening to write. Now that work is less stressful, I’m able to get my head around…

Please don’t make fun, but I am officially obsessed with Rufus Wainwright. While listening to him, I ran into a post at Oliver’s asking for music recommendations. Now, usually it’s me asking for the recommendations, but no, here I am evangelizing about Rufus. I now own all of his albums and really want to go…

All day yesterday, I couldn’t help thinking what a great life I have. Unfortunately, I often lose sight of that when caught up in the daily trials and tribulations. I have a home that I enjoy in a nice neighborhood where the kids can play in the street. I have a job that I like…

I’m sitting in my new office! See? We still have to spackle and paint. And I have some adjustments to make since the room is kind of slanty. I haven’t moved everything in yet, but it’s a very nice space. I might turn my desk so it faces the windows, which would leave me a…

I was going to do a nice Friday Random Ten with “London” or “England” or something, just like Rana did. But I don’t have any “London” or “England” songs. Can you believe that? So sad. I’m honestly killing time here. I’m listening to Lenny Kravitz’s “Freedom Train” which gave me the idea to use “Freedom”…

I can’t really add anything of substance to the London bombing news. I have to say that though I was saddened and disgusted and angry, I was not surprised, not the way I was with 9/11. I’m frustrated by our administration right now because I believe it’s partly their fault that this kind of event…

On the way home from work this evening, I heard this report on NPR. I was incensed after listening to it. I’ve been following the Intelligent Design/Creationism story for a while, though not as thoroughly and closely as PZ Myers. He could speak about this much more scientfically and less emotionally than I. This story…

We trekked into downtown Philly with Geeky Girl in tow, our neighbors in awe of our adventurous spirit. It’s a 30 minute train ride, followed by a 15 minute walk, not too adventurous in my book, but okay. We somehow ended up on a main route over to Ben Franklin Parkway. We usually are snaking…

Mr. Geeky and Geeky Girl are still snoozing away. Me? I have been up since 7:30 goofing around on the computer. We’re not morning people here. Even though I get up early, I don’t like to do anything too strenuous before say, 11. Plans are to get the office into workable form. I have grocery…
