Community Supported Agriculture (CSA’s)
May 24
My husband, Jason and I just returned from a trip up the coast and through some of the central valley of California. One of the great things about this state is the incredible amount of food we grow right here in our back yard. So that bears the question, “why would I eat stuff from the grocery store when people are picking tons of food right up the road?” On top of it all, we...
Jury Duty Blues
Jan 12
9:00 am So I am at jury duty this morning and I have to say that so far it hasn’t been quite as bad as I remember. We got quite the hoorah speech from the judge this morning. He at least added some interesting anecdotes as he went through the jury information packet. The one thing I do enjoy about this whole thing is the people watching. This morning I had two guys sitting next to me who...
Mobile Blogging
Dec 29
Today as I was perusing the Android market, I found this mobile blogging application called WPTogo. I often find myself thinking about posting something up only to forget about it later. So now I can post random thoughts when I’m in line at the grocery or bored to death at the doctor’s office. I’m positive those observations just won’t wait. So just as a test I’ve...
Constantly Risking Absurdity
Aug 18
What a great title this is!!! What a definition of our lives. I say this because my week is absurd right now. It started last week when Jason came cruising into the apartment in the middle of the day. I was sure that either someone had died or he had been laid off. It’s been 5 years since he has darkened our door home sick from work. He doesn’t get sick. I get sick. I...
Comic-Con 2009
Jul 27
So this week was Comic-Con time again and just like last year we had a great time. The thing that is so great about this event is the amalgamation of art work, great writers, screen stars and everyday folks gathered together to celebrate the arts. The highlight of this event for me this year was getting to go to the Ray Bradbury panel. Bradbury was a special guest at the very first con in...
Song by Allen Ginsberg
May 27
This made me smile today. For whatever reason, it just really summed up a lot of things for me. It’s been a tough couple of weeks. Work has been crazy, my friends are feeling pressure, I had food poisoning and I really feel just out of sync for some reason. It’s just those times that poetry does me the most good. It sweeps in and and lets me know that I’m not the only...
Kindle 2 Review
May 10
My Kindle 2 has arrived and I have to say, I absolutely love it! First impressions go a long ways and the packaging that arrived from Amazon was reminiscent of the many lovely gadgets I have opened from my good friends at Apple. Sleek black and white packaging with liberal usage of fonts to give it that literary quality. I immediately plugged in the Kindle 2 to charge. About 2 hours later...
Going Kindle
Apr 12
As many of you all know, I am an avid reader. As such, I am extremely emotionally attached to my books. They represent periods of my life, meetings with favorite authors, lazy reads on vacation, times of trouble, in essence… they are old friends. So what on earth has possessed me to go wireless with my reading habits? To be honest, I’m running out of room. There are piles of...
