Well, it's fortuitous that I finally logged in and and checked when my account expires. Little did I know that in just six days SG was going to do a direct withdrawal from my account to extend my membership on here for another year. Let's just say I would have been very miffed at myself for not noticing that little sceme and putting a stop...

I went on my annual pilgrimage to the Bronx Zoo this past Friday, and it was predictably pleasant. That's why I go back every year. I've got it down to a science: go in the spring because that's when the zoo's at its freshest and most verdant; go on a weekday but not on the free day, Wednesday, because there will be even more screaming...

I wish that, on your annual pilgrimage, you dressed like a Pilgrim.
The first one would be funnier, but I know that you're all about specific, narrowly defined gender roles.

You know the Apocalypse is at hand when you find a Disney ad on your tomato.
I just happened to look down at the tag as I was peeling it off, and I thought WTF?! Is nothing safe from the Disney taint? Not even my produce? Pretty soon, geneticists will figure out how to make logos appear in the skins of fruits and vegetables. Now...

Yeah.
The phone might be good!
Whether we cooked or ordered in would just depend on what day it was.
But it's good to be at our house cos then Wave can run around.

COCA-COLA OBJECT TO CHRIST FILM
COCA-Cola is threatening legal action to stop a film showing Jesus Christ drinking from a can of Coke.
The Italian film 'Seven Kilometres from Jerusalem', directed by Claudio Malaponti and due out in Italy on Good Friday, imagines a Christ who lives in the Middle East in the 21st century.

Wow. Even dedicated researchers need a little time off from hard science every once and a while, I guess. I found this little piece of fluff in The Irish Independent this morning. (Where else, eh?) Makes me think of how I used to strap on the old headphones and listen to a little Rollins screaming about Raaaaaage whenever the pressures of doing homework and getting...

well, I *would* go to all that work for you, you lovely girl, but I didn't need to, as all those photos were already in Shutterfly and already labeled from when I sent them out after the trip. But sadly the La Paz photos were not in Shutterfly, so I am adding a few and will send them out to you soon, in hopes that you will join us at Thanksgiving. 
It would be easy for you to get to Akumal, you just need to fly into Cancun and take a shuttle. Surely they must have good deals from NY to Cancun! Warning! Don't go in the summer, it will probably be unbearably hot & humid. We even hit a hot & humid spell in December, and despite what Mike will tell you, I remember reading that the summer months are VERY hot down there.
I'm nuts for taking cat & dog photos, I guess you know that now.

It's more a primary atraction for her. She's so cute. And as an actress... well, maybe you're right. She just stays there. But I like the way she stays
Yes, SurlyMike, I guess it is time for installment #2 in the vacation saga. Thanks for the gentle prodding. 
So, um, like.... This was the first time that I actually made an effort to see art museums in Ireland (they tend to call them galleries, though). We stumbled across the Hugh Lane Gallery, which houses art from the turn of the 20th century...

You know I had no idea about Scharfs connection to the Jetsons. thanks for that link.

I realised that I didn't have your address when I was in Miami. It just doesn't seem right to send out postcards without one to you!
Hello to any of you lovely people out there who are still seeing my journal. I am afraid I haven't read a single other journal on here for about two months. I hope you all had enjoyable holidays, and that you were just happy, comfortable, and not too stressed or overfed (ha!) I thank you for your well wishes and cheers (never jeers).
Okay. I've...

So far physics has been going good. It's surprising me actually considering I am terrified of geometry and trigonometry.
Yes, that fingernail picture is part of that book with anonymous confessions from people.

After staring at enough promotional posters for the Ron Mueck sculpture exhibit at Brooklyn Museum long enough, my husband and I met up with two friends and went to check it out this past Sunday. The weather was very cold, but it was also clear and pretty outside. My friend got there before we did, and managed to get tickets for all of us even...

I am happy to say that I had a superb visit with the wonderful SurlyMike and the lovely HolaGatita on this Thanksgiving Thursday. It was raining all day, and it was a quick visit of a mere few hours, but like the intrepid troupers that they are (hear that, Mike, troupers -- eh? Eh!?!) they made it in and rocked Williamsburg like the Casbah could...

Hmm, you might be a fan of smoked turkey or chicken?
that OPAL looks like it could be an album cover...
Wishing you a lovely holiday season!

So it hasn't quite been a month since my last post, but that's still a lot of time for things to have happened in the meantime. This will probably be quite long, so here goes.
My husband had gone to Russia for a short tour with Spielerfrau last month. He was back home for a little under 13 hours before he had to turn around...

I'm going through an "I hate SG" phase. At the risk of sounding whiny and holier-than-thou (ha ha hee hee), I find the ubiquitous fluffiness of this site aggravating after a certain point. It's a great forum for meeting intelligent, creative, kind people, and I like it for that. I was so happy to meet those of you that I have already, and will in...

I'm embarassed to admit it, but i seriously think that some of my funnest times were dancing in the clubs on ecstasy or mushrooms...
it was that wonderful feeling of euphoria and everyone kind of being on the same wavelength.
And not being self conscious at all about how you looked.
and the lights were so pretty!
seriously though, it did make the music so much more intense...
anyway, we miss you on here

You always look so cool in your photos, how do you do that? I guess maybe you're just cool.
I will miss your wry and witty comments.....adios muchacha!!
