Dharma

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Last night Justin and Angie came over for a LOST season finale showing at our place. Josh made Dharma labels for beverages, food cans, and chocolate candies, and we set them around. He’s got a couple photos on one of his blogs. I wish the finale had been as good as we were all prepared [...]

Weekend update

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Just about a perfect weekend, weather-wise. I could’ve been at PDF, but instead I…
Friday: Met Josh for a sushi buffet lunch at our favorite place. Bought a birthday present for my dad and got my hair trimmed. Went to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Saturday: Went to Jean’s house for a [...]

back to school

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Only took a little over a week before I decided I couldn’t do without continuing education in my life. To be fair, it’s partially because Josh is going to be away so much this summer. That was different last summer, and helped me survive without it. But just barely! These classes are way more frivolous [...]

You have one way, I have another

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Working with primarily other women can be dangerous. I want this:

Even though ordering online without trying things on has about a 50% failure rate. And even though it’s not available in the size that would probably fit me best. It’s gorgeous! It’s from Coldwater Creek. One of the ladies here lent me a catalog.

From the library-maker…

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Right now I am working on a map of a national park (winery) in the champagne region of france. I love some of the items in the legend. There’s a flower symbol that stands for, translated to English: “flowery rambles.” And a tree symbol that stands for: “outstanding trees.” There most be a dozen or [...]

Flutterby

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Well I did make it to the Butterfly exhibit. Braved the rain (what little there was to endure in the short distance between the metro stop and Natural History museum… I love DC). And then was rewarded with:

densely packed within, floating dreamily around, a misty 85 degree room, with their neighbors. It was heavenly. If [...]

For some reason del.icio.us failed to post these automatically, so here I am doing it manually, two days late.

All of Inflation’s Little Parts
On Saturday, The New York Times published an interactive soap-bubble diagram illustrating the spending of the average American. The chart is color-coded by percent inflation in each category.

Tres de Mayo

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Saturday ruled. Mid-week we got the idea in our heads to have a Cinco de Mayo party on Tres de Mayo. After Josh’s company picnic, which was at the national zoo. First off: that was a great idea for a picnic. Spying on monkeys and pandas greatly exceeds the fun of the three-legged races and [...]
