We Now Return You To Your Regularly Sche...

Hey there, everybody! I had to unplug for the last week in order to meet a big ol’ deadline, and a few other biggish, ol’-ish ones, too.  It was a spectactularly sucky week, and not just because I had a lot of hard work to do; I missed being part of the conversations here.  And although...

Just don't add anything to the punch. We don't all drink here. Via Courtney_Walden @ Flickr Perhaps because of the new FB page, or perhaps because of the recent series of eclipses, who knows, we’ve had a minor influx of new posters; quite a few of them men. While we welcome male allies,...

On Weariness and Other Fears for 2010...

You may have noticed I’ve been blogging here a lot less frequently lately.  And by lately, I mean for the last three or four months.  At first this wasn’t a conscious decision – I got caught up in some other projects in my real life: I’ve been applying to graduate school, doing...

We all have so much to be thankful for–including pies like this one–that we’re devoting the next couple days to celebrating Thanksgiving with our friends and family. Posting will be light, but we’ll be back next week! Among our many blessings, we’re thankful for such awesome...

Blogular Status Update...

Umm, apparently we have been hacked!  In a rather benign way, but still, it makes us subject to certain web filters.  We are working on amending this, but in the meantime!  If I delete your registered commenter account, apologies.  It’s just to try and eliminate any hacker backdoors.

A New Nest...

Well, hey there!  Remember me? It was two weeks ago today that I was unceremoniously informed by the NYC Department of Buildings that my loft  (along with all the others in the building) was being forcefully vacated, effective that day, due to at least eleventeen fire code violations and general negligence...

Whee! via princessashley@flickr Thank you for clicking; I can’t return your comment for the next few hours, as I am on a plane right now. Right now. I am squeezed into a teensy seat and being given approximately 3 3/4 overly salty peanuts and the only thing available on my little TV screen is...

Via cjelli @ Flickr. By the time you read this, I’ll be either at JFK, or well on my way to an otherwise undisclosed location somewhere in the Breadbasket of America, to spend a nice long weekend with the Dude’s family.  There will be big cookouts at Mom and Dad Dude’s, and pancake...

These are party hats for hamsters (hamsters not included). Via LuLu Witch @ Flickr. We already know that I’m bad about remembering anniversaries.  It’s a character flaw that extends into both my professional and personal life:  the Dude and I just decided on our non-iversary date a year...

Mama wants. Via janusz l @ Flickr. Alas. You already know that two of our Harpies have flown the nest for a week or so. Of the three remaining, another two of us have serious professional commitments breathing down our necks (making us even more jealous of Becky Sharper and SarahMC), and it’s...
