I’m really upset about one of the courses I’m taking this semester. It’s only a two credit course, so it is scheduled to end November 3, while I’m in Africa. Which, fine. I knew that going into the matter, and I planned accordingly. I shall be lugging Winnie Laptop to Africa, not a problem (make [...]

I’m almost completely moved… just need to get the martini glasses, the vermouth, and the frozen goods from my old place. Oh, and the kitty litter box. Ew.
Yesterday my father and brother were to come with a large van and move all my furniture, then take away some other furniture that my brother needs for [...]

I just caught myself thinking, “If I got fired and knocked up, there would be no reason at all for me not to sit around knitting all day. That would be great!”

I do not want to come in to work and have to deal with a dead fish.
I get incredibly upset when I think about [...]

Things are not going well here at Chez My Cubicle. It appears that the fish, he may be ill. I noticed him looking a little plump last week, so I cut back on the food a bit. And by “a bit,” I mean “a great deal.” He obviously didn’t get to eat all weekend, and [...]

The high today is 80. I worry about the weather here. I’m pretty damn flighty and neurotic, but seriously.
Despite all the back and forth and ups and downs, autumn is definitely settling in nicely here in DC. Which means.. a lot of things, really.
Good bye, Rose. Hello, Port!
Good bye, wussy Hefeweizens. Hello, Oktoberfest, in all [...]
