It's a beautiful Saturday morning, with rare sunny weather. I'm sitting here on the couch in my bathrobe in the midst of a rather untidy living room, unwashed dishes in the sink nearby, in somewhat desperate need of a shower, ignoring all of this to read a copy of the strategy guide for a [...]

Having two glasses of a fantastic 2004 Thurston Wolfe Rosé while eating dinner and watching the end of the first season of Battlestar Galactica? Fun.
Waking up feeling dehydrated and vaguely ill at one in the morning, while still needing to brush teeth and that kind of thing? Not so fun.
Note to self: [...]

So…as of this last Saturday (which, not coincidentally at all, was Brian's 23rd birthday), we are officially a Wii-60 family. It's kind of a funny story how it happened – I bought Brian an Xbox game (not Xbox 360, just a regular Xbox game) that he'd been wanting for some time now as a [...]

Even in my relatively hermetic online existence (the only thing remotely resembling an online community that I read with [...]

These sheets?
Frelling amazing.
I would never pay the full retail price for them ($400 is way too much for a set of sheets, no matter how luxurious), but for $80 they're a helluva bargain. Heavy-duty but breathable (100% cotton) woven sateen with a beautiful lustre and amazing color – Brian got us the ivory ones [...]
More everyday types of things

I've been rather slack on actual update-type things, I know. Part of it is that I usually do so when I'm either bored or putting things off at work, and lately I've actually had a fair amount of work to do – due mostly to the fact that we've moved our offices, with the [...]

By the powers vested in me I hereby append a common saying. Whereas it currently reads “death and taxes,” it is now to read “death, taxes and filing.” Usage of the appended version is to start immediately and continue henceforth until otherwise advised.
You may now return to your normal workplace drudgery.
One lonely Super Bowl post…

From MSN Today (the first two headlines):
“Why I Hate the Super Bowl – One Woman's Take on the Year's Loneliest Day”
“Surviving Your First Big Fight”
'Nuff said.
ETA: I just went and read the first article mentioned here, and I was rather disgusted by the tone of it. Call me crazy, but whining because you [...]
