Stop Reenacting All Over the Place

04.21.09 – 17:04

Okay, so here’s the thing: I hate historical reenactments. HATE. With a hatred that is both profound and unwavering. It was not until the Big Move To A Country With Lots Of Historical Stuff That I Have To Go Visit, however, that I was able to identify why. It’s because I’m embarrassed on behalf of [...]

With This Watch…

02.15.09 – 14:02

Happy Day After Valentine’s, Internets! We had a lovely Valentine’s, which included strawberries that came from the grocery store in a little heart-shaped container and watching Garden State. Not the warmest and fuzziest romance we could have watched, but better than our other option, Kill Bill. But this is all beside the points, which are [...]

Twenty-Five

02.02.09 – 15:02

As stolen from the meme going around Facebook: “Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.”: 1. I’m thinking about getting some chickens so I have something to nurture. 2. Sometimes I try to read fiction, but I don’t usually like it. [...]

A Bowl that Promises to be Super

01.29.09 – 10:01

Say, what are you doing Sunday, February 1 at 2300 GMT? If you are like most red-blooded Americans, you’ll be watching the Super Bowl. So will we. The only difference is that we actually live in Greenwich Mean Time, which means that our personal Super Bowl party begins at approximately 8 p.m., counting down to [...]

Back in the Saddle

10.29.08 – 14:10

Okay, Internets, here’s the deal: so busy lately. In the last month, we’ve moved to a new town, Stephan spent 3 days in Prague, and I spent 3 weeks working in London.

Obligatory Olympics Post

08.13.08 – 23:08

I emerge to comment on everyone’s favorite blog topic: the Olympics. This is the first time I’ve ever had access to a cable sports channel for the Olympics, so I get to watch more than just the highlights (live coverage here from 2 a.m. to 5 p.m.), and also some sports that don’t receive much [...]

A Very Little Grammar Humor

06.11.08 – 23:06

Several years ago, I learned to read. I was 4 at the time, so when I was 5 and it was time to start kindergarten, my reading skillz propelled me straight into first grade. In second grade, I finished my math workbook a few weeks before the end of the school year, so they gave [...]

Jibber Jabber

02.15.08 – 19:02

I always find it hard to blog after I haven’t for a while, because I feel like it needs to be something earth-shattering to be worthy of such a post. Then I decided that that was ridiculous, and so am returning from early and ill-advised semi-retirement to tell you this: I love Robert De Niro [...]

Word, Winston

11.08.07 – 21:11

This has been making me laugh for the last couple of weeks: You know how you’re not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition? Debatable, and this is what Winston Churchill had to say about it: “This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I shall not put.” ha.

Unrelated

09.14.07 – 18:09

A while back, I heard a commercial for a local community college that went like this: “Eight hours a day, 5 days a week: I hated my job!” Can you imagine? That’s 40 solid hours in a single week, Internet. Who lives like this? In other news, whoever came to our house and unalphabetized the [...]
