I tried to get through tai chi class today. I had to leave early because of my deepening bronchitis and incipient migraine. For some reason, meditation makes me light-headed if I’m sick, and I barely made it through the first section of the form. I need ginger tea. Fortunately, I have some that my mom sent… Continue Reading

Stalking Alan
4:37 a.m. 1/10/11/05 With my obsession for all things Brit in general and for all things Alan Rickman specifically, I was worried that I might become a stalker. Oh, I’ve never stalked anyone before, but I’ve never had this strong a celeb crush before. It’s silly and it’s stupid, I know, but I feared that… Continue Reading
Michael Collins–After You See It
3:13 a.m. 6/25/26/05 Step into my brain as I watch Michael Collins. Hm. There are no opening credits. That’s kind of cool. Boy, they really jump right into the action, don’t they? There’s Liam Neeson looking so formidable in his uniform. There’s Aidan Quinn! Wait a minute, there’s Aidan Quinn dying. Wow. They killed him… Continue Reading
I Want You to Want Me
Relationships. They have been on my mind lately. I have had several discussions with friends around the world about them, so on them I ruminate. When I was a little girl, I assumed I would grow up, get married and have kids–after getting my Ph.D. of course. White picket fence, apple pie, and all that… Continue Reading
My Own Damn Bucket List
One of the many notes floating around Facebook is The Bucket List, which, I presume, is based on the movie. I haven’t seen the movie, but I gather it’s about the things you have to do before you die. I filled out the list, but I was underwhelmed. It didn’t even have an actual bucket… Continue Reading
I Hope I Get It
I have blogged about the true passion of my life before, but I feel compelled to so again. No, it’s not Paul Krugman–he’s my current crush. And no, it’s not even Alan Rickman–though he is hotness personified. It is, in one word, the theatre. Yes, I know that’s technically two words, but I don’t care. … Continue Reading
A New Crush!
I have a new crush, and I must share it with you. He has been on Rachel’s show more than once, and he was on Keith’s show last night. I’m a little nervous to share with you because it’s still in the honeymoon phase, and I don’t want anything to sour it. On the other hand,… Continue Reading
Don’t Blink
We live in a world where computers are obsolete before they even hit the market. Sadly, this is also true for the so-called news that we can now access 24/7. We have the specialty news channels such as CNN, MSNBC, oh, ok, I will grudgingly add FOX “News” as long as I can put the… Continue Reading
Nihilist for a Day
Or, alternately, there’s a sucker born every minute. Ok, the two aren’t really related, but they are in my mind. I am using a relatively shallow take on nihilism when I explain my mood today. What dominates the news outside of the economic crisis? Stories on the OctoPussy (octuplets’ mom), failed Ponzi schemes that accrued… Continue Reading
General Housekeeping
Hello. First on the list today is general housekeeping. Evidently, people I don’t know are actually reading my blog. This is great! A bit nerve-wracking, but great, nonetheless. After all, if I didn’t want strangers to read my words, well, then I wouldn’t be blogging in the first place. Since this seems to be the case, I… Continue Reading
