Yesterday we got a 40-inch Sony Bravia. I agonized over the purchase of this thing, so afraid I would get the wrong one. Not about spending $1300 or so on a TV…but what if it broke or wasn’t as good as another one? I was looking at a 32-inch Sharp Aquos at Stupid Prices forContinue reading “Seinfeld the way it was meant to be seen”

What’s up, Blogosphere?
Got some bears in the news. Man jailed in India for riding around with a bear on his bicycle: That’s not my photo, btw. Courtesy of Associated Press. We’re trying to domesticate them closer to home, too. The news around me is that I’m all about upgrading this week. I’ve been wanting a widescreen TVContinue reading “What’s up, Blogosphere?”
I don’t want to do my laundry
I literally have been losing sleep (people use that expression figuratively, don’t they?) over a couple of issues regarding my house. One involves the permitting for a large accessory building to accommodate the garageful of martial arts equipment currently preventing me from parking my car in the garage. In an unexpected development, I was theContinue reading “I don’t want to do my laundry”
Closer to home
I’m sorry, little blog, how I’ve been neglecting you. That Facebook thing sure takes a lot of time. (Scrabulous, especially). Then there’s the processing of my India photos, which got sidelined last week as I actually tried to do my job. Here I am, working hard at my job. We haven’t had many of theseContinue reading “Closer to home”
Genius (in France)
The Internet suggests that one cover up the brand name on one’s expensive electronic devices to deter thieves while traveling in India. For example, if one were to take a Nikon D50 on such a trip, she should buy some black electrical tape and cover all the places where it says “Nikon.” ‘Cus maybe theContinue reading “Genius (in France)”
When I was your age
These kids today, I tell ya. When I was 16 and I fought with my boyfriend – which was, like, a lot – I’d go out with my girlfriends, and hope that maybe we’d meet up at some point with the guys and he could see how much fun I was having without him, orContinue reading “When I was your age”
Looking out for me
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?”
Are you kidding me, Bill Gates?
I saved a word document at work on a jump drive and tried to open it on my computer at home. Gibberish. Not so impressed with Microsoft 2007.
OMFG, a Roomba
(To quote Chelsea.) My house is being vacuumed. As I write this. By a robot! It takes a while, as the house is big, but it’s doing its thing. Isis is definitely intrigued, and has licked it a few times, but she doesn’t bark incessantly at it. Rather, she barks sporadically. That I can liveContinue reading “OMFG, a Roomba”
