I watched the rain turn into snow.

Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:14 P GMT-06
Tonight I sat at Starbucks and watched the rain turn into snow.  I sat facing Lincoln avenue, drinking a decaf.  The reflection allowed me to watch the snow outside and the barista behind me.  He is always super friendly.  I listened to him chat

I guess things have fizzled with Tatoo.  Oh well.  I got blown off this weekend, if I ever hear from him again, I'm sure there is a reasonable excuse.  But I'm done.  "He's just not that into you."  "You are awesome"  "

In a nutshell.

In no particular order.1.  I rewatched Lost In Translation last night.  It made me think about Japan and subsequently Tokyo Boy.  Sigh.  The movie is still good, even if we don't talk anymore.2.  Did everyone else already know how simple it is t

Thanksgiving with a side of cancer.

People experienced major delays on Wednesday.  My flight was delayed from 8:50 PM until 10:15, but then I didn't get into Indy until 1AM.  I wound up at my friend's house, crashing on an air mattress in her office.  It worked out for the best, bec

New Glasses.

Today I finished reading The Namesake through the lenses of brand new glasses.  I went home to my parents house for the first time in two years and took advantage of it to go to Eyemart for new specs.  First thing in the morning, I sit down at that

Don't expect anything from me until Friday night.  I am about to brave the sleet and hop on a flight home.  Somehow, this is the first time I've been to my parent's house in two years.  I'm not sure how it happened.  First it was the summer I was

Craig posted this on his blog.  I think it is fascinating, so I'm giving you the link.  A woman is seeking a kidney donor for her older brother.  Interested?

My friend Bill, from improv class, is full of stories and strange analogies.  The stories and analogies are actually good bits of advice on the love front.  Here are the three things he told me.1.  Never force a trade.  When trading stocks, you s

Rock and Roll

It's been a long time since I've had anyone try and find decent tunes in my CD collection.  Like I mentioned, I haven't really bought a CD since March or April.  Last night I put on some Galactic, which Jay had not heard before.  Not two minutes i

The scale has not budged since I've been home.  Not overall anyway.  I've barely dipped below 40 lbs lost.  I have been bouncing around for months now.  However, there is good news.Today I bought jeans at Lane Bryant in a size 16.  Woo Hoo!! The

Making tapes

Thursday, 18 November 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
For some reason, I have been in the mood to mix tapes lately.  Not burn CDs.  I suppose if I had a way to burn a CD, I might be interested, but there is something more personal about mixing a tape.  I used to have such a good system.  First I wou

Perspective.  For some people, in order to believe a Guardian Angel was looking out for them--they need something major.  Escaping the September 11 disaster by stopping at Dunkin Donuts.  Forgetting their passport and not getting on the plane that

Books that feed my fears.

Thursday, 18 November 2004 10:43 A GMT-06
I have a few major fears.1.  Earthworms on wet sidewalks.  Millikin used to get covered in worms in the fall and it grosses me out.  I hate the feeling of stepping on a worm on wet pavement.  The way you slip a little as you grind out it's life.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Vintage Contemporaries)

Thursday, 18 November 2004 10:19 A GMT-06
Okay, I'm not sure what gets five stars from me, so I'm reserving it for now.  Curious Incident probably should get five, so instead it gets a qualified four.  It will go to five stars sometime soon, I'm sure, but I need to read and review a few mo

What to do in London.

I have had some people ask me for London suggestions in the last few weeks.  I've also thrust some unsolicited advice at people.  One friend from my old job said he went to my blog, but mainly it was me being homesick and he couldn't glean any good
