I just booked a flight from Mumbai to Delhi on the internet. That may have been a trifle hasty on my part. I’ve been emailing a travel agent and I wanted to see if I could get a better price by searching the airlines myself. This particular flight was showing up as 500 rupees forContinue reading “Looking out for me”

How long has this been going on?
Isis and I are alone for the next 24 hours plus. Rob is doing some mixed martial arts something-or-other in San Jose. I’m not scared. Just this second my ferocious guard dog leaped into action, barking her shrill head off, setting off the ultrasonic anti-bark device I installed by the library window for this veryContinue reading “How long has this been going on?”
Just about right
The last few days, I’ve been relating a little too much to the subject of the report I’ve been editing: Many salmon populations are severely depressed. I thought Omega 3’s were supposed to be good for that. Today, I worked through my little to-do list, and was just thinking to myself that I’d run outContinue reading “Just about right”
Just like when I was in film school
I saw two movies yesterday. At two different theatres. 27 DressesI went by myself and sat in a solo seat at the very back of the theatre. It was so crowded I overheard an old lady say, in response to the observation that there were no two seats together, “Let’s just take single seats.” AndContinue reading “Just like when I was in film school”

Everyone say, "Aw."
I have a new nickname for my dog: EisBarBaby. It means baby polar bear in German. I assume. Have you seen this thing? Don’t you just want to rub your face on her rotund little belly?
Harry Potter and the Defective Moving Walkway
I finally got to starting the last Harry Potter book this weekend. After managing to resist the hype and remain spoiler-free when it came out last summer, I borrowed Rob’s dad’s hardcover copy and it sat around until Friday when I decided to pick it up. I knew that it would suck me in onceContinue reading “Harry Potter and the Defective Moving Walkway”
Happy New Year and all that
So I was watching a Top Model Marathon yesterday while painting my kitchen. Watched more commercials than I probably did in the whole of 2007, because I was actually watching live TV. Lots of commercials for ab-toning workouts. Specifically. Like the advertising folks figure everyone in the world will be feeling fat and looking forContinue reading “Happy New Year and all that”
Boxing Day
And Rob still hasn’t opened any presents. He gave me one of mine Thursday before I left. I opened all of mine from my mom, etc., on Christmas Eve. I was supposed to get home last night in time to open presents with Rob here. Nightmare air travel stories are so trite, aren’t they? ToContinue reading “Boxing Day”
Keep trying, Johnny Depp
There’s nothing you can do to make yourself look unattractive to me on screen.
