Autumn & Jerry

Can you imagine a society that is free of labels, particularly the staunchly divided political party labels? I try to, and in my imagination, it would be something beautiful. Potentially beautiful. The members of this society would have to use their brains, and judge information based on facts and content rather than who said it, [...]

reading: Howard’s End by E.M. Forster, textbooks of the Sociology, World Lit, & Biology variety, Coastal Living magazine, J’s blog, and this blog for some great running inspiration.
watching: The Marriage Ref, American Idol (yeah, yeah…I resisted for years but got hooked!), music videos (my constant love), The Office, Tosh.0, and a stream of Netflix.
listening to: [...]

I am currently obsessed with Solid Gold…and maybe a little in love. <3
I first found them on one of my fav MTV projects ever, You Rock the Deuce, and then last night on Subterranean, where I learned how to find & download this song – finally! iTunes, you disappoint. You should have all of their [...]

Tuesday night marks the almost-middle of my busy week, it’s when I get home early from class and make a beeline for my PJs and then camp out on the couch in front of the fire (especially nice after such a cold & wet day!). Jerry often has an awesome dinner waiting for me, and [...]

The Crazies, a horror flick from the 70s, is being remade and filmed right here in my own town!
Over the past week, I noticed a local car wash was barricaded off for a few days – apparently if was for filming purposes. Cool! The majority of the scenes have been filmed in Perry, and the [...]

…and we just ordered one of these:
AeroPress Coffee & Espresso Maker
J recently read about it in Wired – it’s sold on Amazon, is inexpensive, and has great reviews across the board. A no-brainer, right? So, today after sweet J cleaned the whole office all by himself without even being asked to, I decided now was [...]

I am currently in l.o.v.e. with…
1. Skinny Cow ice cream cones! So delicious, and so not full of fat! Balance, at last. Yay!
2. Ulta – the ultimate beauty store! I was just there yesterday, and am already daydreaming of going back to browse aisle after aisle after aisle of fabulous beauty products.
3. Lie To Me [...]

Work has been exceptionally busy & stressful lately, so I am positively thrilled to have a four day weeked to enjoy, completely work free! It’s already started off wonderfully, after a good workout at the gym first thing after work, a good solid nap during a heavy rain shower this morning, a long [...]

…I can’t believe I’ve been following this blog for a year now. In the span of two days there will be a celebration a of a special little girl’s first birthday and then observation of the first anniversary of a beloved wife & brand new mother’s departure from this world. I think the father is [...]

Taken back in February. Slowly but surely browsing through my photos and catching up with my uploads to Flickr. The transition between computers got me a wee bit behind, but mostly due to the faulty behavior of Aperture. I am much happier with iPhoto! Sometimes I miss some of the fine tuning Aperture offered for [...]
