I am a geek. Seriously. I’ve been reading comic books off and on for ages, and have loved sci-fi/fantasy since I was tiny. Comic Book Resources (CBR) posted an interview with Milo Ventimiglia where they asked him about Heroes (he was at last weekend’s New York Comic-Con). He says he was a realist, that eventually…
Saturday Fun
So I just spent the better part of an hour changing my RSS feeds to FeedBurner. If you happen to read this through a reader occasionally, I changed the feed. If you normally read it through a reader, but noticed that I’m still posting stuff, but it isn’t showing up in you’re reader… that’s why….
Project Runway: About last night…
This blog post contains spoilers for last night’s episode, which I call The One Where They Make Clothes for Heidi. If you haven’t watched it yet, don’t click the link for the full post! Seriously. I don’t want to spoil it at all.
The internet has changed everything.
The internet has changed the way we do everything. We have fancy phones that let us stay connected with the world- even beyond how connected text messaging made us. Right now there is an epidemic of teen suicides because of bullying. In very recent times, 4 teenagers killed themselves because they were bullied about being…
Preschool is a petri dish
I haven’t always been a stay at home mom. For the first two or so years of the Oldest Kidlet’s life, I worked in advertising. My job was not nearly as interesting as Mad Men. There were those who drank too much, clients who asked for one thing and detested it when we delivered… but…
Kitchen Shortcuts: the Improvised Sauce
WARNING: This post contains pictures taken on a cameraphone. For those of you who require hi-res fancy pictures… sorrry! I should get a new camera for me and a cheap one for the Oldest Kidlet, who is quite the photographer- but rough on cameras. I know, I’m the Queen of Make-It-From-Scratch. But you know… there…
It’s that time again: vaccinations
It’s that time again: flu season. I know that a lot of people want to shy away from vaccinations- because they’ve heard a lot of conspiracy theories about vaccinations. First, there is no conclusive evidence that vaccines cause autism in children. Second, some people say that you shouldn’t get vaccinated because these diseases don’t exist….
Getting things started.
It’s Monday- and I hope that everyone had a lovely weekend. Someday I’ll talk more about where we visited, but this is more about today. I woke up at 5 am when my in-laws’ cat started eating my cat’s food. Zorro’s pretty quiet when he’s eating, but Woogie is loud. So I woke up, and…
Starbucks and Art
TheBoy was running late from work and wasn’t answering his phone. This wouldn’t normally be a problem, but right now- we share a car. Normally I’d have been tearing out my hair wondering how I was going to get my kids to school, but my mother-in-law hadn’t driven her SUV to work, and that has…
I’d forget my head if it weren’t attached…
I used to be organized. Amidst the clutter of my desk, I always knew where everything was. I would remember everything- my phone, keys, etc. etc. After the Oldest was born, not much changed. After the Youngest Kidlet was born, everything changed- especially once he was diagnosed with allergies. Suddenly I had two sets of…
