I am reading Eat Pray Love. Only I am not. I am devouring, relishing, tasting, experiencing it.
I am Eating it, Praying it, Loving it.
I’ll write a response to it when I finish, I just have to! But not a review. Would you review the Bible? Well, I would… yes, I would, so it’s a poor [...]

i have re-entered the American economy
April 4, 2008 – 3:21 pm
This is what it takes to make me feel spoiled and giddy:
Dinner plans at a restaurant where you actually sit down and place you order. And the order is for sushi!
$17.99 to spend at Border’s on Joe Hill’s paperback Heart-Shaped-Box, a discount book of Witchcraft Illustrations, and a faery pop-up for the Birdy’s birthday. Bonus points for chatting [...]
super quickie stardust review
December 25, 2007 – 9:07 pm
Copied straight from reply to a Lexie question:
I had a hard time with it. I usually really am OK w/ adaptations- like Harry Potter- they always do great… But ouchie, this is my favorite novel which I’ve read 100 times (read to Molly in utero!) and it was pretty much assfucked.
There was such subtlety in [...]
about that aversion…
November 12, 2007 – 7:06 pm
So Leigh, and my cousin, and maybe somebody else, asked me why I hate teh bunnies. If you had seen this book as a child, you’d have the phobia too. Look:
And the roots go even deeper. When I was 1, my aunt brought me an inflatable pink Easter Bunny. It terrified me. And as it [...]

OK: I’ve perfected the “eclectic” header and subtitle-catchphrase-slogan-one-liner-whatever thing. Yes, those are boobs. My boobs. Because they rock hard, even though they are more pendulous and cushy than actually, um, rock hard. Unless the baby sleeps chez grandies, in which case, at 7 a.m., they are definitively rock hard. Bu made a fabulous double D’s [...]
we now return to my regularly scheduled muggle life
July 29, 2007 – 3:10 am
I should have gotten a really good novel queued up to soften the Post-Potter Depresssion. (This isn’t due to the content of the book; it was precious and I have no real critique except that there was a plot point that made me go Wha? Huh? and sent me googling for clarification.) Now that I’ve [...]
urgent owl message
July 23, 2007 – 3:44 pm
Totally kidding, darlin’. Take your time and enjoy. It’ll take me three freaking weeks to read it anyway in the short time between finishing whatever work and life have thrown at me (after finally sneaking away from snoozing Emsy) and falling into an exhausted sleep.
Everybody in my LiveJournal friends and Bloglines feeds has just finished, [...]
read, souster, read!
July 21, 2007 – 4:45 am
I was debating the mama’s night out party vs. the impending logo deadline when Souster (think Soul/Sistah) called and mentioned the Harry Potter party at Our Favorite Locally Owned Bookstore Cafe. So I decided to go with her. Her husband, Goddess rest his soul, as she may have slain him by now, was late getting [...]
a(wo)men!
June 25, 2007 – 4:23 pm
The disconcerting part comes when Ms. Siegel, in a spot-on moment, calls us the “I’m-not-a-feminist-but” generation. As the daughter of a radical-feminist writer, I was so comfortable using “feminist” that I wasn’t even aware of the word’s stigma until my teens. But some of my girlfriends—who take anything from birth control to women’s sports teams [...]

I have a slight case of rumbly belly from excitement and nervous energy. It doesn’t take much at all to give me butterflies. Nothing huge is going on, but we have a lot planned and it’s making me vaguely happy/edgy.
There’s a bunch to do this week and weekend. Tomorrow I’m spending the day with my [...]
