I found this recipe waaaay back in August and printed it out because it struck me as being amusing; I’m all for any cream cheese frosting-carrier that doesn’t contain raisins. I finally bought the key ingredients (bananas, canned pineapple, and a new bottle of vanilla extract) last Monday, and – that’s right bitches – I […]
In which I party like it’s 1999. Brett and I went out with Tommy & Rachel Friday night and got totally wasted at the Dead Cock. We closed the bar, even. Then we were totally useless napped basically all day Saturday, missing Steve’s sushi birthday luncheon in Iowa City like the total dicks we are. […]
In which I both attend satsang AND go out on a Saturday night. I agreed to sing a few songs with Snow for Navaratri, so I showed up at chez Wadsworth between 1 and 2 on Saturday. Snow and I immediately sat at the piano and absolutely butchered a whole bunch of cheesy 70’s fake […]
In which I have a social life, and friends come over for dinner! Yay! Last night I sat at my desk until well past five, cleaning up my blog’s CSS. Brett called me and asked if I were still in town and if I wanted to have a cocktail, which I was and did. He […]
In which I talk about knitting. 1. Do you knit continental or English? English. 2. How long ago did you learn to knit? A few years ago, from a booklet I bought at Wal-mart. 5. First FO? A sweater for a doll, on tiiiiiiny little needles. 6. Favorite yarn? Lamb’s Pride bulky. I loooove knitting […]
In which I’m stumped by a microwave boasting a function I’ve never seen on a microwave before. Okay, sorry. I lied. None of the nuns I saw this weekend had guns. (That’s just the name of a song on an obscure album by SNL’s bandleader. Yeah. Nuns With Guns is the name of an obscure […]
On second thought, maybe I want this instead for my birthday: a 5th gen 20GB iPod, for only $270. Yesterday I was thinking I wanted to buy Tahmi’s old 3rd gen 15Gb iPod, and then I started surfing eBay to see what it was worth, and then I saw all the newer ones, and then… […]
In which I re-post a post I’d posted a week too early last week. This weekend, I’m going to a Benedictine nunnery in Kansas with Tahmi, where we will go to chapel four times a day, eat cafeteria food with nuns, drink wine, sing the rosary, stay in giant old bedrooms in an historical building, […]
In which you learn I have a dinner date tonight. Tonight, I’m meeting the girls (Christina and Tahmi, so far) at Los Portales for a pre-birthday dinner thang. Yay! Come join us, if ya wanna! We’ll be there at 5:30 or so.
In which I bore you with my reading list. I finished Ilium after returning from vacation; now I’m elbow deep in Olympos. These books are fantastically good readin’. It’s sci-fi meets the classics meet a good story, with Zeus and robots and nanotech and LGM (little green men). It sounds impossible, but it works. Makes […]
