Dude, yesterday’s comment extravaganza was so much fun, no? This whole NaBloPoMo thing was fun, actually, even though it wound up a little different than the original plan… I have difficulty coming to terms with NaBloPoMo coming to an end, but my ankle is still broken. Because my life with a broken ankle started on [...]

Skip to the end
A handful of bloggers have been celebrating NaBloPoMo by taking pictures of shoes every day. I don’t think I even have 30 pairs of shoes. Even if I did, I’ve been wearing the same pair every day since the beginning of the month. They look like this: The right shoe, it’s actually more of a [...]

Spices are the variety of life
These are the spices in my cupboard: I’ve got spices on the brain because I got my groceries delivered today, and I decided it’s time to get new baking powder and ground cloves before I do my holiday baking. I love my old spices, because some of them have been around for a long time, [...]

And something to make you smile
Word nerds, help me with this one. Why is “panties” the worst word in the world, but “pants” is the funniest? In fact, I’ve been downright giggling in my oatmeal this morning over this link: Greenpeace holds a contest to name a whale As of “press time” out of a score of relatively benign names, [...]

Unhappy
I just wrote a really long post about how terrible my doctor was to me at my appointment this morning. But you know what, I’m going to agree with Stefanie, and I’m going to try and keep it positive around here. Writing down all my grievances actually improved my mood a little, and I don’t [...]

My special destiny
Since it’s still the weekend of thankfulness, I quickly want to say thanks to Birmingham for getting me into Nerdstar Geekactica against my better wishes, and thanks to the lovely people who make BSG for putting on a great show last night. We all really hope the strike ends soon because I can’t wait one [...]

The talkies really changed film.
Dad and I went to see the foxes again today. Then, we got mmm mmm delicious Pumpkin Pie Blizzards at DQ. (I’m back here in NJ for the rest of the weekend.) I thought you might like some video: Hope you’re enjoying your holiday weekend, and don’t forget Battlestar Galactica: Razor is on at 9 [...]

Seitan? Satan?
Yesterday’s Thanksgiving dinner couldn’t be beat. My family and I braved the New York State Thruway to go to New World Home Cooking in Saugerties. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in the area, because it’s a warm, happy place where slabs of (free-range) meat and vegan soups nestle up next to each other, and [...]

Exerpting Alice
Today’s holiday is all about leftovers, so in honor of that I’m re-running a post I wrote last year on Thanksgiving. It’s also in honor of this being the first year that Birmingham and I won’t get to see each other on Thanksgiving morning and partake of our ritual of listening to “Alice’s Restaurant” together. [...]

Thanksgiving Eve
Elementary school had me programmed to think of today as a half day. And Friday as a vacation day. However, here in the real world, sometimes you have to work full-time both those days. After getting a touch of annoying news about my hospital bills (yeah, there’s going to be some out-of pocket expenses right [...]
