Internet Fast

Going off-line for a couple of weeks, or at least that’s the plan. I want to catch up on reading, writing, etc, and not obsessively check Twitter and Facebook every four and a half minutes, you know? I leave you with what is theoretically an embedded video but which may not work, so if it doesn’t, you can watch my toddler learn to headbang to hair band rock here. :) Internet fasting commencing in three…two…one…now.

where did it go?

June has been equally extremely long and extremely blurred. I have had no sense of the day of the week most of the month, only a constant sense of bewilderment that it’s Not The Weekend Yet, or The Weekend Is Already Over?

I’ve finished Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312, which in some ways I liked…

daily life

Apparently I can only manage to post once every five days. Dunno what’s up with that (motherhood, job, birthday weekend? nah). I went for a massage Saturday, and was so tired I nearly fell asleep on the massage table. In fact, the only reason I didn’t was because after a while the sinus pressure from the headrest got too great, so my nose stuffed up and I had to breathe through my mouth…and every time I nearly fell asleep my tongue fell out of my mouth and I did this…
