This Week July 9th– Bawling at Brave

This past week has been a furious combination of packing, more packing, even more packing, cleaning, movies, and bowling. Michael and I had been having a rather laissez faire attitude toward the house over the past few weeks (we’re moving, it’s all eventually going in a box, why should we put it away?). That is, […]

This week of Awesome- June 11 Grown Up Jobs

This week’s blog edition is coming to you live from a dusty counter and a plastic step-stool in the middle of Tom’s Toys soon-to-be latest addition to its toy store chain. It always surprises me how many things I take for granted in any space I walk into. Like chairs. Or a duster. I don’t tend […]

Week of May 29th– Nerdfest!

This week April 23: Too Much AWESOME– Skydiving!!!

This weekend held a mind-blowing amount of Awesome. No only was I able to fight over 50 rapier matches on Saturday afternoon (I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before but one of my major hobbies is medieval reenactment, specifically rapier fighting–think Three Musketeers) but the awesomeness of Saturday afternoon was trampled by the awesomeness of Professional Wrestling Guerrilla’s […]
