I did one of my favorite things tonight. I went to the movies alone. I realize that some people find this tendency strange, but it’s not like you talk during movies, so having someone there with you often seems sort of pointless.
I saw a Philly Film Society free screening of Feast of Love which is [...]
I feel like it was yesterday that my trusty iBook and I came together for the first time. I had it shipped to my parents’ house in Oregon so that I wouldn’t have to pay sales tax and it sat there for three days, until my I arrived from Philly, ready to be on vacation [...]
Recently, the carefree, relaxed grad student life I was leading all summer long disappeared. I’m not entirely sure where it went, but I know that it was replaced with a constant need to do work and get things done. I go to bed at night totally exhausted and wake up the in the [...]
I took something of an unintentional blog vacation this last week. I didn’t go into the week thinking I wouldn’t blog, but each night the need to to sleep clobbered me and sent me to my bed with dishes undone and blog posts unwritten. At the moment, I’m barely able to keep my eyes open [...]
For the fourth year in a row I spent Labor Day Weekend at Camp Tockwogh with a bunch of Unitarians. I headed for camp Saturday evening, after the Indy Hall Celebration/Viddler MealToday Giveaway. I rolled into camp just in time to catch the end of the campfire. My friends had squirreled away some s’mores [...]
I took my car to my mechanic this morning and as I handed my keys over felt a profound sense of peace begin to erode the tension I’ve been carrying around. It was relief born out of the fact that the next time I get into my car, no matter how much money I have [...]
My mom is an expert in the field of laundry. Some may mock her skill and dedication, but if you have ever had the opportunity to benefit from her careful sorting, eagle-eyed application of spot remover and precise folding, you will quickly change your tune to one of appreciation.
I learned to do laundry by watching [...]
When my apartment was initially fitted out back in 1965, the builders installed a revolutionary and space saving device. It was a combination washer/dryer that could take a load of laundry from dirty to clean within the confines of a single unit. It was an amazing appliance for a kitchen like mine, where space is [...]
Things are pretty quiet ’round these parts. I spend most of the talking through my fingers as opposed to using my voice. I’m a little boggled by the speed at which time is passing, my fall class starts two weeks from yesterday and my first thesis deadline is a week after that.
Yesterday I was walking [...]
I was reading an email newsletter I get daily that is designed to encourage and inspire members of the new age set, when this sentence jumped out at me.
Stagnation is often a sign that great changes are on the horizon.
I’ve been feeling stuck. Mired. Unable to accomplish more than the bare minimum. I realize [...]
