Ms. Baggage if you're nästa...

Arek & Heather are travelling in Sweden right now. [you should check his and her photos] Amazingly, still reading my blog (I, and Google Analytics, thank you both.) I just laughed out loud at this email rec’d from him. Subject: Your blog, in Swedish! Well, just the navigations. Someone

Me and my big sofa

Well, about twelve hours later than usual, but here I am nevertheless. Another week gone … how does it happen so quickly? Since it’s Friday – Friday night no less – I think I will let myself off the hook a little and just do a random listing of items for you.

It's been ... one week

I don’t remember anything else about that song, except, something about 2 weeks, 2 days til we say we’re sorry …yes, I am referring to the Barenaked Ladies. Anyway, this marks one week of daily blogging, a quarter of the way through, and still pushing onward. I believe

Procrastination

Dedicated readers may wonder what has spurred the flurry of activity in my home this week – the rearranging, the heavy duty cleaning, the book project, and the various other projects I haven’t seen fit to blog here (the big magazine recycle, Christmas 2007 is fully underway [yes I have

Well, here we are again

Another Monday. How quickly the weekends go by… it also happens to be Guy Fawkes Night, an event many Americans are aware of largely due to the film V for Vendetta, I would venture to guess. I found it a bit heavy handed, if I recall correctly, but it had

Free books, first come first serve

[NB: FYI, this project is now over, so sorry folks, the stuff on librarything now is not up for grabs. it is mine, ALL MINE.] In parallel to my furniture moving project, I’ve been culling through my books and have a rather long list of discards. If you want

If I could turn back time

Oh wait, we all did last night. Apparently, for me, (a) The more you laze around, the more tired you feel, was the case yesterday [see post]. How to remedy the situation … why, rearrange all the furniture in your living room. All except the Wall of Books, anyway. I spent

Bump-ety Bump-ety

I was glad to see Katie’s post this morning, indicating that I am not alone in already hitting the wall, a mere three days in. I think the first couple times are always easier. This is the reason I am always whinging about how I should go to the

Back into the cupboard

Today’s musical wheel of fortune reveals: http://static.last.fm/webclient/inline/1/inlinePlayer.swf The Clash – London Calling I will admit that I was reintroduced to my appreciation and love for this song by the film Billy Elliott, which itself deserves appreciation and love, I think. I wonder

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em and hope shame helps

So. We have a new little project here, it’s called NaBloPoMo, National Blog Posting Month, and it is what I like to think of as the realistic alternative to NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. The idea is this: generate some written copy every day for the month of November.

Long and Short of It

Went to see “The Long of It,” first of a two night engagement for the Decemberists, on Sunday evening with Lil Bit. What a great show … musically, excellent; and they were also a lot of fun, and seemed to really enjoy each other, the audience, everything. How often do you

Yes, your Honor, I recant...

Let the record show that part of my statement made October 23, 2007 is false, and in error. My alleged Desert Island tracks were inaccurate and incomplete. I think I will have to change my answer to, That was the worst question ever, and if I end up on a

questions

OK, this is one of those audience participation things, so please consider saddling up… Here’s the idea, as explained by Katie: So the deal is, I asked my sis three questions. She reciprocated and now I answer them here. If you’d like, you can ask three questions in

OBviously

unfortunately for you, and even worse for me, i have a paper to write, so that’s where my would-be blogging energy has to go today. however, in my continued effort to be better about posting, i leave you with this brief, delightful Snape snippet. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/

what the world eats

Time magazine has published a photo essay titled, “What the World Eats” — definitely check it out. Or, skip right to the source, a book titled Hungry Planet by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio. I was struck by the proportion of fresh vs prepared or processed foods represented in the

story from the road

yesterday, with my Discover Chicago class (see my last post), we travelled south as far as 71st and Jeffery (which would be, I believe, the South Shore neighborhood) and also made stops in Kenwood, Hyde Park, as well as Bronzeville. We ended our day at the Donnelly Community Center at
