purging my life

May 31, 2008

I’ve been slowly selling things from my house on craigslist and a few other flagstaff online markets. Moving is always such a good time to really assess what is important, and what is just taking up space and collecting dust.
Today, I continued the purging. I had a yard sale at my brother’s house [...]

new directions

May 30, 2008

With the changing of my blogging clothing, I’ve decided to add a bit of academia to my blog.
Above the first post on my blog, there is an announcement box. In this box, I will be posting rhetoric/composition/scientific & technical comm conferences and calls for proposals/papers.
Mostly this is for me, because I can’t keep up [...]

new clothes

May 30, 2008

It was time for a new look. Along with the new look, my twitter tweets will no longer be populating my blog. I’m doing this for a few reasons:

local news says photos from @PhoenixMars available at 7pm PST (straight from the University of Arizona in Tucson) http://snurl.com/2aluk #

Just watched “Miss Potter” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482546/) What a delightful movie. #
@marklipton I wrote extensively on Second Life and never was a part of that world. It’s not a necessity. Research can still be done. #
@ripwinkle it was on Showtime this afternoon (and again this evening). Really well done. #
@vmarinelli I want the three goddess moons over [...]

is this *really* funny?

May 25, 2008

A fellow blogger just posted a link to this video on friendfeed. He wrote that it made him laugh, so I figured I’d get a good laugh out of it, too.

Now, I agree that I can see the funny side of it. And the actress in question, Emmanuelle Béart, was obviously not offended by [...]

You know, I love snow. I do. But trying to move things to my storage unit IN THE SNOW is not fun. And it’s supposed to snow all day. Grr. #
@iammikeb yeah, I know (and after 25+ years here, I *really* know). It’s just that I’m trying to move, darn it! :-) #

@cogdog I’m really glad Fresa is ok. She will be in my thoughts. #

@textbench oooohhh…my appointment is next week for the very same thing. :-) Good luck with that. #
@colecamplese congratulations. :-) [...]
