Done and Done
My first submission for the term has been turned in. Twice. I forgot to number the pages, and I think I still had a bunch of highlighted words in the text. I overuse certain words: darkness, stumble, was, is, he, she. Okay those last two are just for funsies, but I do overuse words. I [...]
Burpdays and Expectations
I had a brilliant birthday. I did exactly what I wanted – very little. David and I went to my favorite restaurant. I tested out my new lenses for my camera (I am a picture-taker, not a photographer…. just sayin’) and we found a charming little wine bar called Alu on MLK, which means it [...]
Facebook and old friends
I love social media. Why? Because you discover new and interesting people who have unique perspectives to share. It makes me feel more connected to my community. Also, since we still don’t have cable (Comcast can shove their overpriced services where the sun don’t shine), I get my news from the various twitter feeds of [...]
Updates and Whatnots
Things to discuss: Full Manuscript request, loss of other domain name, dead radio and getting hit at New Seasons (the car, not me), travels, school, pickled livers, and laughter. This weekend started off well. It’s been hotter than the devil’s taint, here in loverly Portland. The hubbie and I gallivanted down to an impromptu happy [...]
If you are having a bad day
Two things: 1. That is my former GM, who makes me freaking laugh. 2. Yes, that is me cackling like a loon in the background.
Cleaning House – The Drafts Addition
I have spent every New Year cleaning up the drafts section in WordPress, dumping the incomplete thoughts and half finished blogs in one, very long, post. I neglected to do that last year, and so here they are – the crumbs of the past, incomplete rants and raves, the drafts. They span the time all [...]
And now, with cardboard
It’s easy to forget how many books David and I have collected over the years. And my half decade working for a large chain bookstore didn’t help matters much. I’m addicted to the written word. That’s obvious if you see how much I blog, but it’s undeniable when you see how many piles of books [...]
NaNoWriMo, and a good phone call
Calie, my wonderfully brilliant critique partner lives in Wilmington, NC. She called me from an Obama benefit where James Taylor was singing. Calie works in a theatre, and has many fun stories about the theatre antics. And I got an e-mail from her this week saying that she would be at the event. But the [...]
I think I just swallowed my stomach – the long post
It dawned on me, around 3 this morning, that I have a shitload of work to do. And on top of that, I believe that I wont get the funding I need for my next semester. Still not sure WTF is going on with that. I should ask someone. Let’s add that to our list [...]
After these messages
I have a shitton of writing to do and the deadline is today. I, Erica the MoodyMeow, am the queen of “the absolute last minute.” I think I should get a crown or something. While the dogs finish eating, a few quickies and I will leave you… Being a part-time vegetarian? I think being more [...]
I learned a little something
Wordcampdx yesterday as any of you following my Twitter feed will know (sorry if it got a little nuts, but it was a little nuts there). I learned a lot, and finally understand how much I need to learn if I want to be fully self-sufficent as a WordPress user. That’s not to say that [...]
New…with pictures
I did not watch the debate. I couldn’t. I worked. But I did hear the bullshit, even with Thievery Corporation blaring. On a good note, at least my website’s pretty. And so off to Wordcampdx I go tomorrow, with new shoes for my little site. Lots of blogging in the morning…why? Because that’s what tomorrow’s [...]
Why am I always playing catch up?
This is bullet-form day. I rarely have time to blog anymore with my schedule. Work is nuts, all the time, which is a good thing. I’m never bored, but there are rarely lulls that would allow me to blog. And by the time I get home, I just want to unwind. The Best Compliment – [...]
Oh, that’s gonna hurt
It’s not good to eat black beans, in any form, prior to a workout. But hunger got the best of me. If I’d just stuck to 1 tostada ( with lucious black beans, spicy salsa and a smattering of sour cream) I probably would have been fine. But no, my hunger said…. “Mmmm beans. You [...]
The biggest loser is me
Again, I signed up for something at my gym (the coolest fucking gym in Portland, thankyouverymuch) and almost bailed. I’ve had an earache for days. I was tired. I curled up in our dark living room and tried to ignore the bleeding red clock that counted down the moments until 7:45, when I would have [...]
Things to do in Portland when you’re me
Go to a “special” women’s group – It’s no surprise to many of you (and if it is, sorry! ) that I am way freaking out of the closet with my sexuality. I’m Bi, and proud of it. No, it’s not a phase. Yes, I can be bi, monogomous, and married. No, I don’t want [...]
Good Morning, Good Luck
I woke up early, having to finish my deadline, but not with edgy nerves and wound-up energy. The beagles and I cuddled and I allowed myself to wake slowly. The sun wears thick, gray clouds today. The neighbors left for work hours ago, so I listen to the intermittent creaking of their gate. Puck snores. [...]
Dancing Queens
Friday was fantastic. Miss Amandapants invited us out for dinner and dancing. Now, I loves to dance. I can shake my groove thing with the best of the them, but we haven’t been out dancing in eons. Going to the booty club with my sister doesn’t count. Well, it does a little. I danced to [...]
My ass hurts
But I just got home from my first Night Ride! There was movie stop (those are all the super dark photos), the disco stop (the blurry photos) and doughtnuts at the end. We chatted strangers up, my chain fell off, we passed people wearing outrageous costumes, and had a lot of fun. We are totally [...]
Tickets
I bought Tickets for both Hellboy II and The Dark Knight. I’m joyful.
