  • it's six months down the road, but now is the time to start thinking about it and planning ahead—the big move back to regular work, back to the States. working on my pros and cons sheet now for possible locations. i'd love to return to Savannah for the warm weather and friends, the familiarity, but…

  • Martha Stewart has been found guilty and might even be going to jail!! the jokes are running rampant even here—mom says "Bend over Martha!" oh, that's just too much—the big, bad, perfect MS getting cavity-searched for visitors hours!

  • i peed myself a little laughing at this collection of bad album art.

  • i have really missed my furniture (too bad it's rented til next Jan.). well, it's decided—i'm going back to the good ol' US of A. probably the first of September, sooner only if the right job comes up. i knew it was coming, but i finally did have to make the decision. and now that…

  • Angel and Dan are moving to Chicago! good timing–i still have that list of 'must-do's' i made the other week for Emma. it will be easier to visit them now—i can get to Chicago much more frequently than i can Texas. but i wonder, will they miss the ten-gallon hats?

  • i've submerged myself in Ryan's box-of-books these past few days and have made my way through two volumes of mildly depressing New York-childhood-with-mentally-ill neighbors/parents/siblings short stories unscathed. (with Ryan, there is always a fair amount of gloom-and-doom). i was feeling a bit read-out when, like the pickle in a sandwich, mid-way through the stack (and…

  • young, blonde Swedish Emma is going to be spending three months working in Chicago. mom and i armed her with lists of places to go, things to see, all those 'must do's' of one of my favorite cities (if only it wasn't so cold!!)..things like walking through the Giant Heart at the Museum of Science…

  • first the Museum of Bad Art, now this..The Museum of Menstruation…another classic!
