WEEKEND IN PARADISE

I know now what I want to be when I grow up. Honestly. The very best thing about blogging is the people that you meet. It’s a fact that kindred spirits really do exist and though they may live halfway around the world, you can befriend them and learn to know them and maybe, if you are lucky and a little stalkery persistant, actually bamboozle them into opening their home to you for a weekend. They may even provide food! They may even COMPLIMENT YOU ON YOUR HAIR. My mom and I drove into the veritable wilderness a few hours...

PULLING A MEG

Come one, come all, even you lurkity lurkers out there! What hot-button topic gets your blood boiling? If you could travel to any one famous place/sight/attraction RIGHT NOW, where would you go? How many online friends have you met in real life? Were any of them internet psychos? Which kind of lizard do you like best? Iguana, chameleon, gecko, skink, or GILA MONSTER? Do you speak more than one language? If not, which one would you like to learn? What’s your favorite foreign word? Quick: chocolate desserts or dough-and-fruit? How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?* Which gives you more...

WHO NEEDS BULLETPOINTS WHEN YOU’VE GOT ASTERISKS?

A link on an art blog that I check in on now and then was recommending a certain ezine: Get lost for hours and hours! And I thought, who has hours and hours? All you people who have hours and hours to sit and peruse the archives or issues of any website, where do you find the time? I mean, if you don’t do it for work? Okay, I spend hours and hours on the computer, but I’m usually in the middle of 3 or 4 projects: website maintenance, newsletter editing, spider solitaire, book editing, inventory updates, music editing, reading...

IS THERE A 12-STEP PROGRAM FOR BULLETPOINT ADDICTION?

3 things about myself that still need work: Swearing, eyerolling, requiring instant obedience. I had a conversation with the Help Desk at work last week in which I complained about the fact that my computer seemed slower than ever and what can they do to fix it? It wasn’t the lastest updates, they maintained. They checked the memory: fine. They checked the capacity: fine. They checked a whole pile of other things: fine, fine fine. Conclusion: I am too fast for my own computer. In other words, it’s just me. I’ve been on a high, in a good mood for...

ÃœH OH

Remember that bonus photo yesterday? Yeah, her. That kid of mine got a blog.* Run for your lives! Anders bought a little adapter thingy and hooked up the cables to my old American stereo tape deck and I’m currently recording the first of my many, many mixed tapes to a .wav file on the computer to be edited and sectioned later for burning onto a CD. Whee! I’m such an über-geek! I’m even geekier because I know how to make a ü without even hesitating. ü ü ü! hahahaha! Umlauts always make me giddy. I met my friend Camilla for...

THERE’S SO MUCH THAT WE SHARE, THAT IT’S TIME WE’RE AWARE

On Friday, Anders and Karin accompanied me to dinner with the AWC at a Thai restaurant in Malmö (Martin was at a birthday party). There were 13 people signed up for the dinner, but after 20 minutes only 7 had showed up so one of the other girls and I proceeded to make a few phone calls to the missing people to make sure they hadn’t forgotten the event. I called Katie and when she answered the phone, said brightly, “Hey! Did you forget it was Thai Night?” only to hear her catch her breath and try to stop a...

SWINGTIME

Bad mood: tried to order a Clone Trooper costume for Anakarin Karin online yesterday and my card was not approved. Called the customer support in the States and was basically given the following advice: “ummmmmmmm dunno. can ya try again tomorrah?” Which I did, but no dice. Good mood: gave up and called my sister in St. Louis and had HER order it including shipping to me, then bought her 2 bottles of her favorite perfume (at her request, and with the SAME CARD that wasn’t approved at the other site) to pay her back Bad mood: Anders is gone...
