I haven’t been posting much lately because I’ve either been too busy to write anything or too not-busy to have anything worth writing about. So here’s a quick recap of what I’ve been up to, in more or less random order.
I’m thinking of moving our blogs to private hosting on WebFaction, partly because I […]

I spent most of the day doing the first big pass through the photos from our trip to Washington, doing some color correction and putting a rating onto everything. The next step will be culling through the good stuff–of which there is a surprising amount!–to find the things worth uploading to share. I […]

We’ve had a hard time getting out to see movies lately, but we’ve been making up for it by making heavy use of the library’s online reservation system. All it takes is knowing what you eventually want to see, and a little patience, and suddenly you’re inundated in cinematic goodness. Recently:
Elizabeth I, starring […]

Bloody hell, it’s been almost twelve days since I’ve posted any new photos from the Germany trip. Harrumph. I guess that’s what happens when I let myself get distracted by other things: houseguests, complete disassembly of the office/computer space to prep for painting, work, catching up with Tivo (I can’t believe I’ve […]

My recent vacation photos hiatus is in part due to spending last weekend being all responsible and grown-up and stuff–Laura, one of my nieces, came to visit us for the weekend. Note the use of the word “my,” a big step for me, as for most of the past seven years, the girls have […]

Luckily, fortunately, thankfully, I’ve had a string of pretty good days lately.

Some part of today managed to melt what’s left of my brain, so I settled for skimming rather than chiseling away at my reading, and that has degenerated into a need to close browser tabs and assault you all with another installment of…

My cool flickr-based link du jour is Spell with flickr, which lets you […]

This December… you will believe a giant ape can beat the crap out of three angry tyrannosaurs!

I was going to write some more about my impressions of the film, but I’m too jumbled right now. Suffice it to say that you should see it, soon, and on the biggest screen you can find. […]

I’ve been, in a bloggish sense, a bit backed up of late, due to rampant schedule craziness. It’s time I do something about that. So… Here come lots of random and largely unrelated things that I’ve been meaning to post! (Oh, how lucky you are!)

After I managed to almost ruin a sweater […]
