I’m not sure what I expected when I reserved Special Topics in Calamity Physics at the library, but it is certainly not what I got. I think I thought it was some kind of popular science tome that would be worthwhile, but take awhile to wade through (it is over 500 pages long). But, it [...]

It is fair to say, I think, that I have not had the best of luck with doctors since coming to Decatur. There were initially many insurance problems as I had NY State insurance and lived in Georgia, which is complicated and caused me to end up at a Doc-in-a-box with a overeager fondness for [...]

I’m not sure that I’ve ever laughed this hard online. Apparently I’m a late-comer to the joy that is strongbad. But, I will make up for it now. If you haven’t seen yet, I recommend this one. Enjoy.

We ordered a bookshelf from Target this weekend after I had a fit of coveting at our friends’ apartment. It is a fold up bookcase, which satisfies Adam’s requirements for mover-friendly, and it is a deep, rich dark color, which satisfies my requirement for beautiful.

Well. I watched the first episode. I’m not sure yet. It’s still a little hocus-pocus-ie for me. Here are my thoughts. 1) The clothes are a little distracting. Perhaps they’re just dated five years. 2) It’s a little freaky at points – I don’t like freaky. Intense is okay, good plot twists are good, but [...]

I’m afraid I might have lowered my TV watching standards. But it’s not my fault. The next disc for 24 was supposed to come today and it didn’t. So I got a little desperate. One of my friends owns the first five seasons of Charmed and she really likes them . . . so I [...]

She lay on the couch, drowning under blankets and quilts. She looked so much older than her short 51 years – so shrunken and withdrawn. Her husband hovered. It was evident that he was the hopeful one, and she the one wrestling with a reality that was soon going to extinguish her. A gaggle of [...]
