Last Sunday, J’s uncle passed away. I was not particularly close to him. I have never had conversations longer than a couple of minutes with him due to our language barrier. But he always had a big, genuine smile on his face whenever I greeted him. I could tell that he was proud of J […]
I understand that web publishers want to get people to click on over to their sites. I also can empathize with those who want to know more details about their traffic. But as someone who subscribes to over 1,000 sites on Google Reader, I hate, hate, HATE truncated RSS feeds with a passion. Luckily, there […]
A couple of days ago, a reporter from the AP contacted me (having read my thoughts on the issue here on this blog) and asked if I would like to be interviewed for a story she was doing on America’s reaction to the death of Bin Laden. Unfortunately, my comments were edited out of that […]
First… HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!!! Second… In celebration of Star Wars Day, Lucasfilm has announced all of the details about the upcoming Star Wars Blu-ray releases (set for September 16). You can either purchase the complete saga with all the movies included, or the original trilogy or the prequels separately. The discs will include an […]
J and I are both sick. I only slept two hours last night from raging migraines (years down the road, I think I may remember this pregnancy as “the eternal headache”), dizziness, and nausea. J seems to be coming down with a cold. We have been taking turns napping while the other watches Claire. I […]
…Saddens me a bit. Not because I am mourning the death of a great person. Not because I am a supporter of terrorism or any of the other horrible things he has done in his lifetime. Not because I do not still cringe when I think about 9/11 or the thousands of lives of the […]
I wasn’t planning on waking up at the crack ass of dawn to watch the royal wedding, but apparently my cranky daughter had other plans by waking up with a screamfest at 4am and refusing to go back to sleep. You guys, I think I may have a future princess-wannabe on my hands. Or at […]
Ever since Claire first started teething I have been examining her mouth and gums with care every morning. Well, last night she woke up at 3am and refused to go back to sleep. J stayed up to take care of her until 7am when I took over so that he can get in a power […]
I just had a mommy breakdown. J was about to leave for work when I burst into tears. He decided to work from home this morning and ordered to go get some rest. But how could I, when I am surrounded by a thick fog of guilt? How could I, when there are dishes to […]
After visiting Harry Potter: The Exhibition in person, AND knowing that the final movie is due to be released in theaters in just a couple of months, I have slowly started to re-read the entire series again (probably for about the sixth time). I don’t know what it is about J.K. Rowling, but that woman […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
