• Happy New Year!

    Watched Lockout last night, which is an SF movie starring Guy Pearce. I liked it. It was simple, a bit cliche, and yet, I had a good time with it. I’d recommend it. Today we did relatively little. We wanted…

  • I’m a tea whore

    I admit it. I buy more tea than I can possibly drink and I might not do anything for it, but I will do a fair bit. Anyhow, headed to Portland today with a friend to slip into Teavana. And…

  • Coolest thing EVER!

    We went for a drive to Tillamook today. We planned to go to Astoria and to the beaches up around there, but it started raining, despite Often Wrong’s declaration that it would not. So we headed back south to Lincoln…

  • Being an adult

    Being adult means getting up and getting stuff done. Chores, raising the kids, work, social things–all of it. I have had the boy home 2 weeks now and even as I type, he’s asleep on the couch. He may be…
