A Student of Weather by Elizabeth Hay With all the setbacks that Bear and I have been experiencing lately, I can’t afford to buy a single new book until I read absolutely everything on my shelves. This is a good thing because otherwise, when would I ever get the motivation up to read Anna Karenina […]

East of Eden by John Steinbeck This is one review I’ve been putting off because I can in no way do it justice. Plus I read it early in the year so a lot of the details are already gone. What I loved most about the book was not it’s grand theme, it’s profound symbolism, […]

And for once I’m not saying that sarcastically! When our poor little car got jacked we were (and still are) up a creek. We’ve only been in town for 5 months, we don’t know anybody, the nearest family is five hours away, and we needed help. This is one way where my church is freaking […]

March 17, 2005
When I worked in a soul destroying cubicle for a big fat corporate Mergers & Acquisitions company, the Internet saved my life and my sanity. Without it I would’ve stabbed myself with a paperclip. And every day I read every single recap on TWoP I would think to myself, “What did people do before the […]

Our cable company has FINALLY come through on the promise of five months ago and brought us OnDemand. Which, when you work from home, is either the best thing ever or the worst thing ever depending on how productive you’re trying to be. We had this service when we lived in New Hampshire, too, so […]

The Stupidest Angel by Christopher MooreThe pile of books to review is growing larger and larger and I’m bored and pissed off right now, so I doubt very much this will be my most profound post ever, but it distracts me from the crap in my life and makes me feel productive at the same […]

Bear and I are strapped. Totally strapped. Since we moved to Modesto I haven’t been able to find work, when I have gotten up the health and motivation to try, because I’m either overqualified for the Barnes & Nobles of the world, or I’m underqualified when competing against all the Bay Area commuters who don’t […]

March 12, 2005
Since I burned out on scrapbooking, knitting and jewelry making are what I’ve thrown myself into. I post all my jewelry on my portfolio website, but I can’t do that with my knitting because I only put original designs there. So here it is: This came from knitty, the Winter 04 issue.I made my version […]

Life is So Good by George Dawson and Richard ClaubmanSince one of the books I want to write one day is a memoir, although I don’t think I could publish it as one since my family is crazy and vindictive, I read a lot of them. And it’s a tricky genre. How do you come […]

March 8, 2005
I had to stop myself from posting twice more yesterday because I thought that a bit excessive. But today, bleck. It probably has something to do with the endo pain I’m experiencing and the hemorrhaging I’m doing, but who’s to say, really. Bear’s been on my case to look for a job, which I have […]
