Good morning? Night?
Thursday, 28 August 2003 3:59 P GMT-08
Why I'm still awake right now, only God knows. I've been up for 34 hours straight, barring a half dozen or so 20 minute naps on the plane. I feel like a zombie. But I just can't sleep.
It's strange being here in the flat without Je
MIA
Monday, 25 August 2003 3:59 P GMT-08
[sheepish grin]
I've been such a bad blogger lately! And I don't know where my brain has been -- we had such a lovely weekend down at the beach, but it wasn't until after we arrived that I realized I had forgotten my camera! So I st
Day Two
Thursday, 21 August 2003 9:48 A GMT-08
Everything I see here now seems so exaggerated....like some sort of artificial environment. I'll see a group of palm trees sitting right next to a pine tree and think, "Is this for real?" I feel like I'm living in a cartoon that
Re-entry musings
Wednesday, 20 August 2003 3:54 A GMT-08
Hey kids! We made it back to CalLAUGHfornia, as everyone has dubbed it with the crazy election business. I'm wide awake at 4:00am, thanks to jetlag, but what better time to blog?
The flight was absolutely torturous, but I won't go
adios
Sunday, 17 August 2003 10:37 P GMT-08
Alrighty, folks. We're outta here! I'm so ready just to be home by now! If I could bypass the whole schlepping-the-luggage-and-flying-for-eleven-hours dealio, and just teleport to California instead, I'd be quite happy.
We h
Job Opening
Thursday, 14 August 2003 11:25 A GMT-08
Oh my God! I just discovered the most amazing job opportunity! I'm SO dang excited about it I can barely contain myself!!
I don't want to say what it is, for fear of jinxing myself. But I will say that this job would fulfill all of my ne
"I'll be back"
Thursday, 14 August 2003 12:04 A GMT-08
Had a lovely dinner out last night with Taz and Jeremy, the last time the three of us will hang out together for quite some time. We had quite a few laughs when the waiter, who spoke with a thick non-British accent, told us to "have a
Pre-mature nostalgia
Wednesday, 13 August 2003 12:02 A GMT-08
It's so bizarre that in less than a week I'll be home. Lately I keep experiencing this random nostalgia for York and England, which is weird because I'll be coming back to York in two weeks! But I decided to try to&nbs
Pack Horse
Sunday, 10 August 2003 4:45 P GMT-08
So I started packing tonite for the big move home. I packed one whole suitcase…and then immediately repacked it. I’m just not satisfied with the placement of things, or the lack of space.
Heat Wave
Sunday, 10 August 2003 2:03 A GMT-08
This heat wave we're experiencing in Britain right now is cracking me up (she types as she sweats). I realize that it's breaking all kinds of records, and the fact that Britain has never felt 100 degrees (38 C?) is certainly noteworthy.&nb
Total Recall 2003
Saturday, 9 August 2003 5:57 A GMT-08
Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
Found this gem on Jarhead's blog. Let the propoganda begin.
This is almost too camp for words. How can Arnie be taken seriously as a candidate if these dang movie cliches just won't go away???
"Pen"sive thoughts
Friday, 8 August 2003 8:08 A GMT-08
(Sighs...and throws away inkless pen)
This is the sixth pen I've used up in the last three months. Mind you, I'm doing a hypertext dissertation on a web-based topic -- and yet I'm still perpetually running out of writing implements.
More Scotland pics
Friday, 8 August 2003 7:57 A GMT-08
Here are my last few pictures of Stirling. I'm starting to feel a twinge of eagerness to post more pictures with "us" in them. I'm just on that verge of "should I?" or "shouldn't I?" I know it would make this blog a l
Governor Schwarzenegger
Thursday, 7 August 2003 1:06 A GMT-08
YEAH! IT'S OFFICIAL!!
Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially announced that he will run in California's recall election! I'm pretty excited about this, if not for any other reason th
Hairy situation
Wednesday, 6 August 2003 1:33 A GMT-08
Hmmm. Salons with funky names seemed to be a trend in Stirling.
Human for Sale
Tuesday, 5 August 2003 1:29 P GMT-08
Alternative title: how one avoids doing work on a dissertation.
(and just when you thought you couldn't get enough of these stupid quizzes)
According to Human For Sale, I'm worth $1,833,858.00.
Hmmm. I wonder if my worth
High on Highland Games
Tuesday, 5 August 2003 9:11 A GMT-08
We're back from Stirling and oh...my...goodness. I would have to say that the Highland Games was one of my top three all-time favorite cultural events! It was so cool!
The Games took place in a little town just a couple miles nort
"Give me freedom...or give me death!"
Friday, 1 August 2003 7:55 A GMT-08
Ok, onto better topics today! We realized that we haven't really been taking advantage of our close proximity to all the beautiful areas of the UK. And our time here is shortly drawing to a close. Soooo...we decided to take a last m
