Gah!  Sorry to be posting so late…I’ve been trying to get to this all day with little success.  Obviously.  Anyway, hallelujah, it’s Friday.  That is a very happy thing, let me tell you.  Perhaps a celebratory cocktail is in order:

That middle cocktail in the photo is the Vice Grip, my newest favorite, discovered at The [...]

can’t be sure

UPDATE:  Huh.  I had the video embedded here, but then suddenly it became “unavailable” and wouldn’t play.  So I tried updating my link and that didn’t work either…  Anyway, click here to hear the song and watch the video.
“…it’s my life and though i can’t be sure what i want anymore it will come to [...]

monday miscellany

A true Monday miscellany. Nevermind that it’s Tuesday — it feels like Monday. Anyway, several totally unrelated things by bullet point:

I finally (finally!!) finished editing my photographs from my early-April trip to San Francisco — read about the trip here; view the pictures here.
The College where I work had its Commencement over the [...]

First off, a photo of some forsythia (obligatory collegiate brick in the background) that I took about a month ago:

there is no good title for this post

I’m still here.  I haven’t disappeared, I just wasn’t prepared to write about what was on my mind.  I’m not sure I’m prepared now, but I’m going to give it a shot.
What’s been on my mind is my friend and her family.  Because I haven’t asked my friend for her permission to write about her, [...]

Spring has officially sprung around here…finally! Just yesterday, the beech leaves on the trees all across the back of my house popped open in the happiest shade of green. That makes me sooooo… (wait for it) …happy! Yay!!! The forsythia (above) is beautiful and plentiful this year – I love the big [...]

quotiness

It’s warm and sunny and glorious outside, but despite the loveliness, I’m feeling kind of quiet and reflective today. So, this will be brief — just a couple of quick quotes that are really resonating with me lately and then a few photos:
“Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up, heartsick we nursed [...]

today, i am an adolescent boy.

A blog I read pretty regularly posted a link to this video today (Just fyi, totally NSFW – it’s a good thing I had my headphones on):

…and it made me laugh out loud at my desk. My officemate, god love her, probably thinks I’m a total loon. Mind you, [...]
