You know...

Vox just isn't working for me. It's slow, the interface is too busy, blah blah blah. So I've gone back to my old site. I hope to get into a semi-regular posting schedule (right now I'm all, "oooh! shiny!" so I'm posting more than I probably wil...

Uncanny

2007-04-23T16:23:59Z

I posted these two pictures in my LJ, but I thought the comparison was interesting enough to re-post them here (also, I'm sort of freaked out by it--why this makes me want to share, I don't know). The top photo is me, of course, and the secon...

Sandy Szwarc is a hero of the revolution

2007-02-09T17:47:16Z

Why we never hear, why people don’t talk and why people don’t want to know...And stories like that are why I will never, ever, ever get weight-loss surgery and why I will advocate against it when people I love talk about wanting to get it.

And of course...

...after I look at the IKEA site, I figure that I can get an end table, a coffee table, a side chair and a matching footstool for the side chair for about $10 total more than the ottoman alone. Need to discuss with P tonight and then transfer mon...

Holidays and moving

2006-12-28T16:59:46Z

It's been a nice low-key holiday this year. We decided not to go anywhere in part because of our impending move (just 2 weeks from now, eek!) and also because I didn't feel okay about going to Michigan and having a visit with P's family again wit...

"El Magnifico"

2006-11-22T02:05:48Z

I have a sad addiction to NCIS--I know it's not a very good show, but I enjoy it and it's the only show I watch with anything that comes close to a religious fervor these days. On tonight's episode, Abby called Gibbs "El Magnifico". Only Jennie...

Moving!

2006-11-20T20:34:39Z

We're moving into a bigger apartment! We're staying in the same complex and, in fact, the new apartment is quite literally a stone's throw from the current one: it's downstairs and catty-corner across the courtyard. We can see it from our balc...

QotD: My Vox Name

2006-11-02T14:02:37Z

How did you pick your Vox name? Does it mean something? Submitted by LeendaDLL. It's my first name spelled backwards. I've been using it as a handle online for the last 6 years or so--I actually prefer to use Natalie, but it's taken 95% of t...

Bearing Witness

2006-10-31T18:14:52Z

Recently, the writer John M. Ford died. I didn't know him, apart from his brilliant comments on Making Light. I've never read any of his books (a deficiency I hope to correct soon). But this poem really does say it all: "Say what you mean. Bear...

QotD: It's All In The Stars

2006-10-29T23:46:52Z

What's your sign? What do you think of astrology and horoscopes? I'm a Scorpio and while I tend to not believe in much of what astrology says, I do have to say that I look smoking in dark red. Which you wouldn't think, as I'm a pasty white per...
