  • 20:13 Oh, apparently a train derailed at Alewife. Yeah, that would explain scheduling problems. #mbta #
  • 20:41 OK, time to start packing... so I think I'll bake instead. #
  • 23:09 Aw frak. This brittle worked so well, so easily last time... now I have caramel filled with pumpkin seeds. Not helpful. #
  • 23:12 Well, I did want to make caramel... #
  • 01:13 More fun - I don't actually have a candy thermometer. The caramels taste good, but who knows if they'll harden? #

Other people are talking about it, so I might as well too [22 December 2009|04:53pm]

You can read the hullabaloo here:

Essentially I'll be leaving Keenspot pretty soon and moving AD!, FF and whatever else I wish to a new server. It'll be fun and exciting and full of glitchy pages being made from Comicpress! ;D

An alert when the move will be made as it happens, possibly the beginning of January.

Keep watchin' the news!

Fashion help, PLEASE? [22 December 2009|11:22am]

I have a wonderful black sweater dress that I am going to wear for Christmas Eve dinner.

It looks sort of like this:



What kind of shoes do I wear with a dress like this? I only own one pair of dress shoes (the two pairs of stripper heels don't count) and they are FAR too casual and loafer-like to be worn with this dress.

I will probably go to payless to look for a pair, but it would be great to have a clue what I'm looking for!

I need everyone's help!

Movies and crazy people [21 December 2009|10:20am]

[ mood | hungry ]

We finally watched The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen this weekend after the kids were in bed. I had a lot of fun and it was silly and entertaining. But whoa boy, is it patently obvious Alan Moore had nothing to do with its creation as a movie. Dorian Gray actually explaining who he was and what his weakness was? Um...right.
Still, fun was had by all and I eagerly await the next one. (And what the heck was up with Vampire Wilhelmina? I mean seriously, straight hair *poof* curly hair *poof* straight hair *poof* uber-sexy leather strap outfit)




Had a lovely break Sunday afternoon where I was able to go and spend some alone time and drink coffee. It was fabulous! I got my coffee, sat on the comfy couch at the local coffee shop, got ready to start my new book (Dead Until Dark which I finished at around midnight last night. Fun!!) and was all set to have a nice relaxing hour of me-time.

And then Frank descended. Or I guess I should say Paul as that's what my husband says he wants to be called now. Local man. Homeless by choice. Not really all together mentally speaking. He never remembers me or the countless times he's rattled on about language and etymology (all wrong wrong wrong and full of copious logical fallacies but there is absolutely no point arguing with him). I really have to remember to not say "Hello" to him because that is what triggers him to start. (Hello is evil because it comes from the word Hell and means you are cursing someone. His preferred greeting is "Halo" which comes from the word "Aloha". I think that's part of his argument.)
Anyway, I beat a hasty retreat.

  • 10:52 Reading about mother who was on Twitter when her son drown (she was tweeting about the weather). No worse than being on the phone, I think. #
  • 10:53 She then tweeted about going to the hospital, his death. Again, media makes this sound cold, but it's just like calling someone to update. #
  • 10:54 ABC News story: abcnews.go.com/Technology/shellie-ross-twitter-mom-tweets-son-death-pool/story?id=9353490 #
  • 10:56 I'm irritated because sensational headline makes it sound like she described him drowning in 140 chars. No. Gate to fam. pool left open. #
  • 11:26 Anyone have thoughts on Dopplr? #
  • 23:46 Oh, blergh, thought Vox might work for road-trip-blogging, then noticed it was copyright SixApart 2006. So yeah, not so much. #
  • 01:22 The thing about saving the syrup from my candied citrus for Val is that it looks like I'm storing pee in jars in the fridge. #funfacts #

Adorableness ahoy [18 December 2009|09:11am]

[ mood | content ]

TJ gave us a card she made in school. It's in the shape of a mitten and she told the teacher what she wanted to say, the teacher wrote it down lightly in pencil and she then copied over it with a marker. So it looks rather like she wrote it herself. :)
It's hanging on my husband's cubicle at work now.
It says: "I love you because you take me fun places."

Ahhhh...conditional love. ;)


I was also amused because she made a present in class (everyone did) and she's been telling me about it for weeks. "I'm making a present for Mots!" (my mother-in-law) She's been very excited about this. She finally brought it home all wrapped up in white paper with Christmasy stamps and coloring. And written on the top in the teacher's handwriting is "For Mom and Dad. I love you"
Everyone's present had the same thing on it. I rather wish they had asked the kids who they wanted to give it to. Ah well.

At a fabulously over-decorated neighbors house, I spied two of these nutcracker-drummers, by far the creepiest decoration I've seen in recent memory. Those souless eyes... He won't go until he gets some, he won't go until he gets some...
