they say that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. the thing is, i’m unsure what i expect the result to be. well, that’s not entirely accurate. i know what i want — but is htis what i ought to want? how do i decide what i ought […]

earlier this evening i found myself standing in borders books with a new friend, looking at art magazines when a person nearby allowed their mobile phone to ring… loudly. some rap song as the ring. a teenage girl answers with “wwhhhaaaat??” when we both had to stifle laughs i figured i was going to enjoy […]

so, the house is going back on the market, and i am not moving to new zealand, at least not in 2006. the original job offer (from waaaay back in january) is apparently still on the table, in the sense that he still wants me out there, when i can. which is awesome — wellington […]

last night i had a dream that was totally out of character for me. it was strange and weird, for me, in that it was completely mundane. i was going on vacation, with someone, and we were in a car, just driving and talking. that’s it. normally my dreams involve surreal plots of terror where […]

i notice it most when i get up to make coffee or use the bathroom. this would be the time when trogdor would see i was getting up, get up from his napspot, stretch and run to the stairs and wait to see where i was going, tail wagging. every time i get up and […]

my boy is gone. this weekend i and two friends drove the eleven hours from indianapolis, indiana to syracuse, new york in order to hand off trogdor to his new family. obviously this is a bittersweet trip for me. i love my dog. love him. he and i have such a bond and it is […]

i just got of the phone with the new zealand embassy in washington dc, and they have informed me that they will issue my visa as soon as i fax them copies of round-trip plane tix. HORRAY! everything is starting to fall into place. Technorati Tags: moving, newzealand, travel, traveling, visa, visit
